It's better than most other big chain restaurants for sure Still definitely has that vibe of "this is frozen food that comes on trucks" tho

Honestly I love Chipotle and would eat it every day if I could. So I really have no room to say you can't enjoy your fake Italian food if I already enjoy my fake Mexican food. When you go to Olive Garden you already know what to expect. And if you go there expecting a 5 star Italian restaurant and then walk out and complain you're a loving idiot. No one complains about McDonalds being lovely fake burgers because they already expect that. I just don't see why Olive Garden doesn't get the same curtisy. If you don't like it don't loving eat there it's that simple. That being said I am a fan of their chicken Alfredo

Bloody Hedgehog posted:Italion food isn't worth paying money for. Normally i'd agree. But there's a place by me that makes their own fresh pasta (not crap from a box) and does pizza in a wood burning oven with real water buffalo mozzarrella. They also have some good specials. It's worth paying for.

i actually really liked old spaghetti factory as a kid. i like the stone tile decor, carter the great, the tram, victorian-era seating/lamps/etc. i thought it was cool. also the garlic butter, fresh bread, the spumoni ice cream at the end, and mizithra pasta was pretty good. maybe thats just nostalgia since i havent been there for prolly 14 years now

Lufiron posted:i wouldnt call it edgier.. a weekly daily show with curse words would be a more apt description I am a long time fan of The Daily Show. Saw it live in studio, and have seen nearly every episode for years and years. I still think John Oliver is better. Only because it's not always "hot topics" and there is a certain degree of journalism happening instead of just quoting Fox News out of context all night. For example the Miss America segment.

Korthal posted:Their sauces are good, their soups are good, you may get a butt-ton of salad on the side but it's not a horrible quality salad. Overall, there are much worse places I have eaten. what is your frame of reference to make this statement? Have you ever eaten hand made pasta? Squid ink? Foie gra? Porcini mushrooms? White truffles? Do you know what it means to "salt to taste"?
