Applebee’s Ultimate Trio Has Thousands of Flavor Combinations

As the official Grill + Bar sponsor of the NFL, Applebee's is getting fans excited for the start of football season with the launch of the new Ultimate Trio—a customizable appetizer sampler with a choice of three appetizers and three dipping sauces.

The Ultimate Trio is available for dine-in, to go, and delivery orders, with a choice of 10 fan-favorite appetizers and 10 bold sauces for a total of 81,600 combinations to match every craving. While some will gravitate toward Brew Pub Pretzels, Crunchy Onion Rings, and Double Crunch Shrimp paired with Honey Dijon Mustard, Sweet Asian Chile, and Blue Moon White Cheddar Beer Cheese, others will mix and match according to their tangy, sweet, savory and spicy flavor preferences.
