My friend Kirill and me decided to try local Applebee's, even though I kinda recalled they always oversalt and overcook everything. But as far as it's been a few years since I was there last time, we decided to give it another chance.

Guess what: they still oversalt and overcook everything..:-)

Anyway, I used it as an excuse to shoot with my recently acquired EF-S 17-85 IS USM.

Man, I like this IS USM thingy. It was pretty dark, some of the shots were taken at 1/10sec - and they all came razor sharp:-)

Interior:

Marilyn sure does look natural here:

As does Kirill:

I *love* tiffany shades:

Kirill's steak was served medium-well instead of medium-rare:

And my shrimps were made of pure salt:

All in all, we thought that Applebee's is EVIL:-)

Enjoy lunchtime shooting!
