digitaldiscipline[Standard Disclaimer: I occasionally get stuff from BzzAgent.com to test out for word-of-mouth marketing campaigns; what follows is that word-of-mouthiness. I don't get paid for saying nice things, or bad things; they just want to know if and how the word gets out about this, that, and the other.]
So, I got a short fistful of coupons for free entrees at Chili's, with the proviso that said entrees had to be from their "Guiltless Grill" - ostensibly, healthier menu options.
Hey, free dinner! Okay, not completely free, but for Kim, Bob, and I, an appetizer, drinks, and dessert, in addition to the entrees, came to about $30 (w/o the coupons, it would have been about $65, iirc - so call 'em about $12 each). I opted for a tilapia fillet grilled & served on a small hickory plank, they went for the carne asada deceased cow.
They made the wiser choice - the steak was really fucking good, whereas the tilapia wasn't quite what I was expecting (I think I had mis-remembered it as being more like TGI Friday's healthy cajun fish fillet, which is DELICIOUS, not to mention that it comes with my favorite side dish ever, mashed garlic cauliflower; I digress). All came with that ubiquitous healthy side, steamed broccoli[1] with shredded carrots and a sprinkling of asiago parmesan.
Overall? I'd order stuff from the GG sub-menu, especially that dead cow (though the honey glazed salmon did get serious consideration; the chicken on rice option, not so much, and don't even try to talk me into the bean-based faux burger offering).
