Diner's Tiny Applebee's Steak Goes Viral, Sparks Debate on Portion Sizes
A recent video circulating online has sparked debate among diners regarding portion sizes at chain restaurants, specifically highlighting an "8oz" steak served at Applebee's. The video, uploaded by user @thisisntana, shows a steak on a plate, which the user then lifts to demonstrate its seemingly small size. The user, who requested the steak medium rare, expressed disappointment in the accompanying caption, stating, "the way i was starving and then they hand me this." The video quickly garnered over 1.2 million views and thousands of comments, with many users sharing similar experiences or debating whether the advertised weight refers to the steak's pre-cooked size. One commenter, identifying as an Applebee's cook, suggested the steak appeared closer to a "6 oz" portion, adding to the discussion about consumer expectations versus restaurant offerings.
