Sweetin continues, “Sizzler’s always been something that everybody can enjoy. And it’s about time you celebrated it. My career. I mean, Sizzler.”
“The steak, seafood, and salad bar have always been popular with families … just like my comedic timing,” she adds before an awkward pause.
Sweetin goes on to assure viewers that Sizzler prepares its meat fresh daily, because yes, they are still a functioning restaurant chain.
“I can look fresh daily too," she says. “I just have to get up a little earlier. So, you know, give me a heads up. And remember, Sizzler is many things, but most importantly, still open.”
The Sizzler campaign, titled “Still As Great As Ever,” comes nearly three years after the brandfiled for Chapter 11 bankruptcyamid the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a statement shared with PEOPLE, Sizzler’s marketing director Sasha Shennikov confirmed that “Hey. We’re still here.”
The California-based restaurant operates over 80 franchise locations in the United States and Puerto Rico, according to their website.
“What was true in 1987 is true today and will be true decades from now — Sizzler is the space where families come together to celebrate each other and eat good food at a great price,” Shennikov added in the statement. “It was time to remind everyone.”
