It's funny... my wife loves Olive Garden, but having been there and having eaten what they serve, I find that I could have as good a meal at home at a tenth of the cost... or as good a meal at another restaurant at half the cost. I'm just not impressed by bread, salad, pasta, and vin ordinaire at the prices they charge.

Now Macaroni Grill I can like.

Their food couldn’t get much cheaper...........OH!, you mean THE PRICE!...................

Let me say a kind word about OG. I have gotten many ideas for yummy meals, including some luscious crepes as a kind of pasta, from OG. Tried making their short ribs...would love their recipe. Went home and cooked it. One meal is really two-- I take home half in a box for lunch the next day.

If I were OG I'd start some cooking schools out of their restaurants!

Olive Garden used to be good. Pretty darn good for a chain. The only way I can describe what they did is, the sauces became heavy glop.
