There isn’t anything wrong with Olive Garden as long as you don’t expect anything too fancy. I’ve eaten there on several occasions and found the food what you’d expect for the price.

I worked as a chef/cook in south Florida and in New York.

One of the main reasons I left the restaurant business in 1998 is because of the general public's lack of discernment between hand -crafted food and mass produced, industrial quality food.

The average American wouldn't know the difference between mortadella and Oscar Mayer.

You must have very low expectations. Some of the best Italian food that I have ever had -- here or in Italy -- has been at small "mom & pop" operations where simple food is expertly prepared using fresh ingredients for a price that is no more (and often less) than Olive garden and the other crap-food chain restaurants.
