AI Summary
EAT should now be viewed primarily as a Chili's execution story rather than a broad turnaround, with strong same-store sales and free cash flow supporting upside, but investors should stay focused on whether traffic momentum and margins can hold through beef inflation, tougher comps, and a strained balance sheet.
