Chili's throws serious shade at TGI Friday's over mozzarella stick dig
Two popular restaurant chains are throwing shade at each other on social media over which one has the better mozzarella sticks, though punches were thrown below the belt when one questioned if the other was still in business.
Chili’s Grill & Bar shared a tweet from TGI Friday’s Thursday and took a few digs in the process.
"Somebody tell <insert chili pepper emoji> to stay in their lane," TGI Fridays posted on X. "Y’all are not mozzarella stick people. We are. That’s it. That’s the tweet."
Along with sharing TGI Friday’s post, Chili’s commented, "@ us next time… Also, we honestly didn’t know you were still open. Congrats!"

Several of Chili’s followers were also shocked TGI Fridays was still open, one writing, "BURNNN! This calls for a trip to Chili’s!"
Another follower wrote, "OMG, I think I just witnessed a murder." Another follower wrote, "I can’t remember the last time I seen a TGI Fridays except for in the frozen section."
Chili’s responded to the latter, writing, "ooooop."
But many followers stuck to the subject at hand: Which restaurant chain is better?

"They’ll never have the triple dipper, and for that, they will envy you forever," one follower wrote to Chilis, which, in turn, responded, "They can never achieve triple dipper excellence."
Another follower wrote, "Might have to get Chilis tonight just because of this tweet. Roasted them."
"We bring the heat!" Chili’s wrote back "Hope we see you tonight."
In a post of its own, TGI Fridays failed to call out Chili’s on X but shared the restaurant chain’s post, saying, "is the cheese pull challenge accepted or nah?? <insert three yawning emojis>"

Before the spat, TGI Fridays wrote on X that its new menu was out, adding that the "mozz sticks hit harder. happy hour’s calling. life’s good."
