In Project Management grade is a category or rank to distinguish items that have the same functional use but do not share the same requirements for quality. Cafeterias in a grade school are functionally the same as cafeterias in large corporations but the corporate cafeterias have much higher quality requirements.
A typical Olive Garden pasta is a gummy ball of starch on a plate despite the fact that as you walk into the restaurant 3 or 4 chefs are supposedly making various kinds of fresh pasta you will be served if you order pasta. The pasta makers aren't making pasta at all. They simply take the fresh strands of pasta and reprocess them over and over again for show.
Thanks that is what I figured.
On top of that a serving of pasta is like 1/2 or 1c cooked which is not very big but if you load your plate up you are getting multiple servings of starch which unless you have a marathon to run later your body can not use up and in us older folk who's pancreas is sluggish that glucose just sits around in the blood stream with no insulin receptors to help get it delivered into the various cells of the body. So the blood gets sticky and over time you stroke out or have a heart attack. MMMMM Gotta have some more of that Olive Garden.
What an appealing name Olive Garden for a resteraunt that serves that kind of meal. Oh and the eye service of a "Chef" cooking it up.
We have a place that you put all the types of meats ect. on your dish and then some guy cooks it Asian syle. Hah People were loving it and I said hey this is frozen thawed food, yeah buy the cooks are cool. No thanks. I am eating crap but the fancy cooks are cool. Mongolian Grill is what that was.
