This is especially relevant when it comes to chain restaurants.
Food after all is one thing we all have in common and that we talk about consistently.
Restaurants have a history of hitting it big and going viral for a wide range of reasons.

The country’s current fascination is known as the Triple Dipper from Chili’s.
Maybe you’ve heard of it.
The app trio has been on the menu for a while.

But, 2024 brought on a strong resurgence of interest in the shareable plate.
CountlessTikTok videosshare the spectacle of epic fried mozzarella cheese pulls and tales of its sauciness and satisfying nature.
Friday’s and Buca di Bepo were filing for bankruptcy.
Chili’s itself has leaned into the Triple Dipper madness, just as it ought to.
Well, I intended to find out.
It’s actually a collection of three different appetizers picked from a list that currently boasts 13 total items.
That means, right now, you’ve got the option to triple-dip 286 different ways.
That’s a great deal of dipping.
The other was chicken-focused with a wildcard thrown in.
Each starter triad cost me $16.29 at my nearest Columbus, Ohio location.
Should the chicken come first, glistening in its dressing?
Maybe the slider deserved my early attention or the eggrolls with their accompanying avocado ranch?
Or, should I start with one of the most in-demand items, the crispy fried mozzarella?
It really did take me a minute to get my bearings and decide.
The milky white cheese is mild yet elevated by its crispy outer breading.
My one note is that the marinara could use some work.
Moving on to a different category of fried food, both the Crispers and boneless wings met my expectations.
Are they the best wings or tenders I’ve tried?
I think adding on pickles or a different sauce for some added zest would be just what they need.
The eggrolls on the other hand were packed with flavor.
When it comes down to it, I understand the obsession behind the Triple Dipper.
Some items on the plate may shine more than others.
But, as a whole, it’s the king of sampler platters.
To that I say, welcome to Chili’s Hall of Fame Triple Dipper.
