Sara Lorenzo Ulage “My favorite is Olive Garden because they give kids like me crayons to draw with and a free cup you can keep. My best and favorite food is the breadsticks and salad. And it is fun when my parents are off work. They take me and we have a great time.”
Arian Cody “I love Applebee’s because they have really good and healthy food, like my favorite food, the chicken covered in teriyaki mixed with barbecue. Families can also go there for birthdays, holidays and even vacations.”
