Chili's keeps the pressure on Steve Carrell

Pow Salud July 21, 2010

About the only good thing to come from the LeBron James Decision dog and pony show was this parody video featuring Steve Carrell and Paul Rudd which was shown during the ESPYs. In it, Carrell grimly announces that his "decision" is to take his dining business from Chili's to his new favorite restaurant, The Outback Steakhouse.

"Ultimately I felt that Outback had the Bloomin' Onion and I needed to go there." Ha. But Chili's knows a good marketing opportunity when it sees one, and jumped at the chance to do a parody of its own. Following the jump, the letter Chili's just released -- al la Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert -- in which Chili's president Wyman T. Roberts denounces Carrell and declares that "Chili's will never betray you."
