Applebees is clearly the most popular of the Bar and Grill chain of restaurants here in the United States (in Asia it is the TGIFridays, they don't know Applebee's yet, but they both offer the same experience). It is even more numerous than Dave and Busters or Hooters. The Chain is currently owned by the Venerable IHOP company at present. Their concept focuses on casual dining with mainstream American dishes such as salads, shrimp, chicken, pasta, and "riblets" (which is considered Applebee's signature dish). All Applebee's restaurants feature a bar area and serve alcoholic beverages (except where prohibited by law).
Opens: 10:00 am to 10:00 pm Sundays

Favorite Dish: unless you're on a diet, then try their weight watchers menu or the under 550 calories menu too but if you are a glutton like me, then go for the steaks or ribs or the pastas, costing from $ 18 to $ 30 an order and get cocktails at $ 9 of Local Beers at $ 5 a bottle.

While you will find food booths throughout the Garlic Festival, the center of the action, and easily the busiest spot is called Gourmet Alley--home of the official festival food. Here you will find everything from garlic bread to garlic sausage, garlic chicken stir fry, garlic calamari, garlic shrimp, and much more. Prices range from $2 for garlic bread to $7 for garlic calamari and $12 for a great combo meal that will leave you very happy and smelly.
Laura and I each had one of th garlic combos. She got the garlic sausage sandwich with garlic mushrooms, garlic stir fry, garlic scampi and garlic bread. I had the other combo that featured a garlic pepper steak sandwich with garlic mushrooms, garlic pesto pasta, garlic calamari, and garlic bread. The food was all excellent, but I particularly liked the mushrooms and the calamari. What a great feast for the price.... as long as you get the combo and not the individual dishes. A tiny bowl of calamari was $7 by itself and the $12 combo meal had about the same amount of calamari.
It is said that the festival serves about 28,000 loaves of garlic bread and 10,000 orders of garlic mushrooms each year. All of this is made using 4,000 pounds of garlic from Christopher Ranch, the official garlic provider of the festival.

Come hungry to this place or be prepared to take home leftovers! OMG were we surprised at the size of their portions, but not by their prices. Wonderful food with a great big smile. We just loved this place. Wish we would have had more time to sample more of their menu.

Gilroy: The Garlic Capital of the World
This town is renowned for its garlic industry. The annual Garlic Festival is one of the states' largest and best agricultural festivals. It raises vast sums for charity.
I lived in glroy for about 8 years over the course of my life. From 16 to 24 and then a short stint at 29 before I moved to Portland. What I can tell you is Gilroy is 34 miles from San Jose because......
Gilroy . . . a city that many would not know of unless they were driving up to San Francisco by way of the 5 freeway.
We stopped off for one night in Gilroy, in June 2010, after just having spent the day travelling down from San Francisco. We had just spent an enjoyable afternoon and evening in Monterey. We were on...
