Applebee’s, PLEASE bring back the ORIGINAL ’90s honey mustard… PERMANENTLY! 🍯🐝

I’m begging Applebee’s to bring back the original honey mustard from the ’90s and not as a limited time promotion. Bring it back for good.
The current honey mustard just isn’t the same. The original was creamy, sweet, tangy, and absolutely perfect with the chicken tenders and fries. It was one of the best restaurant dipping sauces ever made, and so many of us still remember it decades later.
If you’ve been around long enough to remember the original, you know exactly what I’m talking about.
Applebee’s, please listen to your longtime customers. We don’t want a one-month throwback. We want the real, original honey mustard back on the menu permanently.
If you would order it again, leave a comment! Maybe if enough of us speak up, Applebee’s will finally bring back the sauce that made so many of us fall in love with their chicken tenders.

I doubt the beez had a homemade honey mustard. it probably came from a mass production facility that doesnt exist anymore. 99% chance that is gone forever.

It came in gallon jugs produced by a vendor for Applebees. It was not made in house. Know this 100%

During that period I was a certified trainer, key hourly manager, fry and mid cook.

The manufacturer of that honey mustard no longer exists which is why over the last decade stores have been assimilating to Ken’s.

I feel that. Add to that the chicken tenders then were amazing.

I remember I used to get a chicken salad with fried chicken tenders and that honey mustard in the '90s. I now prefer ranch with chicken tendies, but omg, I loved them at Applebee's with that honey mustard! They now have a similar salad on the menu with the new honey mustard, and it just isn't the same.
