Wedding Woes

Get in line for the SHUN TRAIN!

I went to Olive Garden for dinner last night. It was tasty and I enjoyed it. I sat in my hotel room, ate my linguine and marinara sauce, watched Fringe. I normally hate hard on the OG and I had other options, but I caved. And I'm glad I did. Plus I have leftovers for today.

  • No hate here.  Sometimes things that are shunworthy are the only thing that hit the spot.

  • H and I go to the OG on the regular. I like the soup and salad combo and he eats these new linguine roll things. And we also get cocktails. It makes for a cheap nice dinner.

  • I, too, love the OG. Is it amazing, authentic Italian "cuisine"? No. But it's tasty "Italian" favorites that everybody likes. There's a reason they make so much money.

  • I love Olive Garden linguine and marinara.  I don't know why people are so down on chain restaurants, anyway, except that maybe they like being pretentious.

  • I love the Outback too.  I can't get enough of the bread or the Wallaby Darned.

  • Well, I'll always try and go to a local restuarant first.  Mainly b/c the ingredients tend to be fresher, they tend to make more in-house things, and I'm putting my money into local business.But, I love TGIFridays and OG.  I'm down on Outback, b/c they continuously get rid of the dishes I like and I think they're too expensive now for what they are.  Oh and the one here can't cook a steak worth a damn.  I'm meh on Macaroni Grill too, except for the wine at the table thing, which I like.
  • As someone who tends to just a restaurant (irrationally) by how much I like their bread, I haven't been there since I found the breadsticks to be too salty. I can't even remember what else I ate there.

  • I love chain restuarants. Growing up, a "nice" meal was Red Lobster, and guess what, I still love it. I could eat their cheesy rolls until I died from too much bread. Denny's? Yes Please! IHOP? Oh mama! Chilis? Bring it on! Applebees? I'll take it! Outback? Bloomin' onions all night! Olive Garden? Neverending breadsticks will always have my heart. I've never understood the chain restaurant hate on theknot.
