Now That's Italian?

The big news around town is that a new Olive Garden is opening. Woot! Just kidding . . . I hate Olive Garden. Actually, I've only eaten there once and the meal was so unmemorable I can't even tell you what I had. The only thing I recall was the gelatinous salad dressing. Many people I know love Olive Garden and they always tell me how great the salad and breadsticks are. Now just what is so spectacular about that? Is it really difficult to make a good breadstick?

I'm annoyed by all of those bland TGI Chilibee's type restaurants. Their commercials are especially irritating. I loathe the ones for Olive Garden with the Italian families enjoying their "authentic" Italian dinners. I'm sure no Italian worth his oregano would come within spitting distance of that place.

I keep seeing ads touting the new appetizers at one of those places. They appear to feature fried green beans. Yuck! Is the public actually clamoring for that? And whenever I see a commercial for TGI Friday's with their servers in the red striped shirts, I cannot help but think of Flingers and their "flair" requirement. Okay, so I guess anything that makes me recall "Office Space" can't be that bad.e
