Applebee’s Releases Metaverse Meal NFTs for Its Metaverse Mondays Campaign

— December 17, 2021 — Art & Design
Applebee's has recently released the 'Metaverse Meal' NFT as a part of the restaurant's 'Metaverse Mondays,' which will only be available this December. A new menu-inspired NFT design will be available every Monday. The handcrafted burgers inspire the most recent NFT on the menu as it is an image of a multicolored burger created by Amber Vittoria. The NFT sold for $25, and according to Restaurant Business, "the buyer also got an Applebee's gift card loaded with $1,300, or enough to buy a year's worth of burgers."

The restaurant has started the campaign as a way to engage with fans of the restaurant and look for new and innovative ways to connect the digital and real-world through food.
