That Applebee’s was my sanctuary after 2 a.m. wrap parties,” they screamed, nearly knocking over a champagne tower. Fellow celebrities gasped as the actor vowed to lead a protest outside the shuttered franchise, shouting, “You can’t just kill the last beacon of hope for drunk nachos!” The shockwaves are real: industry insiders are now calling this the “Applebee’s Calexico location closure” the final nail in the coffin for casual late-night dining in Hollywood’s outskirts.
