Olive Garden Thread

[Anonymous No.10912130]

Can we get an Olive Garden thread going bros? Probably the yummiest restaurant I know. I go maybe twice a week.

Pasta is literally one of the easiest things to prepare properly, even cu/ck/s can figure that one out.

Why eat out for spaghetti? You wait longer and pay 4x as much.

I uses to love Olive Garden before I learned how to cook. Everything they make seems so mediocre compared to what I could make at home. Not that I hate it now, but it's not worth putting on any kind of pedestal.

It's more about the fancy atmosphere than the food for me. They play jazz music and the waiters are all in black. Definitely a nice treat.

I get steak and alfredo. It's worth it just so I don't have to clean my stove after frying a steak. Those little oil spatters are annoying to wipe up.

Aw yes the 6 oz. Sirloin with fettucine alfredo and parmesan crusted zucchini! Perhaps with a nice refreshing Italian Margarita to wash it all down!

It's a pretty good social gauge to go with new people too. Do they have a hard time in a tight parking lot, do they snag a ride and get drunk there? Do they sit at the bar while they wait, go for a smoke, play on their phone, sit outside? Are they an appetizer person, do they fill up on in imo the worst free bread on earth? Are they ordering a nice wine, a mixed drink, or a coffee? side note OG coffee isn't the worst ive had in a chain. Are they a slothenly fuck that goes for a tour of Italy, a promotional dinner, shellfish in a flyover state? Do they want to split dessert, get a coffee Irished up, split the bill?
You can size a person up in Olive Garden. Also if they mention anything about it being a "nice place" rather than the diner the lowest common denominator chose to eat it you're safe to leave and never speak to them again

I ate at the Olive Garden for the first time last week. Breadsticks taste like Domino's Pizza's near identically, salad was boring and had giant spicy peppers in it for no reason, and the food was incredibly bland, overcooked to fuck, and overly salty. 2/10 at best.

It's more than that, they have no texture, it's just mush. It's like it was boiled twice as long as it should have been, then frozen, then defrosted, then microwaved.

[Anonymous No.10913699]

>>10913690
Yes, spicy as in having a noticeable heat to it. It's about as mild as a spicy pepper can be, but it was really out of place in the salad, and they were really big, like a solid 2-3 inches long

I only go to Olive Garden for their lasagna, it's better than what you would get from buying your ingredients at most supermarkets for $20 and lasagna takes like 4 hours to make, and don't forget how much there is to clean up afterward.

Wale up!! Chicken Parm is not easy to do on your own - Eggs, Bread crumbs, Flour, it's messy. Olive Garden's Chicken Parm is legit.

[Anonymous No.10915978]

>>10915959
WTF are you on about? chicken parm is easy as fuck. And it's only messy if you're some kind of klutz. Put your breading ingredients in separate bowls or plates and there is zero spillage. Even if you did make a mess, why do you associate cleaning up a mess with "not easy"? What's hard about wiping up some breadcrumbs or spilt egg?

you have to filet the chicken breasts to the right thickness then beat them down on the counter a bunch of times. Then coat them in flour, dip them in egg then dip them in bread crumbs. You have to use several dollars worth of oil and the temp has to be just right. I hope you didn't forget to preheat the oven to broil the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses on the chicken once it's done in the fryer. Of course you're cooking pasta and heating up some marinara. Even if you're using canned marinara, this whole process is not easy. I will call Olive Garden and have them do this for me because I'm not a poorfag, and it'll be ready wthin 10 minutes.

[Anonymous No.10916046]

>>10916035
I think your'e confusing "it takes a little effort" with "difficult". none of the steps you mention are hard or require special skill. Let's go step-by-step:

>>you have to filet the chicken breasts to the right thickness then beat them down on the counter a bunch of times.
OK, so super basic knife skills.
>>Then coat them in flour, dip them in egg then dip them in bread crumbs.
Standard breading. A child can do that.
>> You have to use several dollars worth of oil and the temp has to be just right.
Standard deep frying. And you can re-use the oil, BTW (never mind the fact that cost has nothing to do with "hard")
>>I hope you didn't forget to preheat the oven to broil the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses on the chicken once it's done in the fryer.
Why would anyone forget pre-heating? Is that something you consider "hard"?
>> Of course you're cooking pasta and heating up some marinara.
Heating stuff on the stove is hard now?

>>I will call Olive Garden and have them do this for me because I'm not a poorfag, and it'll be ready wthin 10 minutes.
I'd rather do it myself. I'd be done eating by the time you'd even be back from the store. The money saved can be spent on better ingredients which will blow olive shitter off the map.

Anyway, it's one thing if you're lazy and don't want to do the work. But don't assert that it's "hard". Just say you don't want to put forth the effort.

No. I'm a student that likes to drink
also chicken parm is so easy. My secret is skipping the hard parts. I put parchment paper on a sheet pan and lay a bed of chicken fingers (the good big buffalo ones from Costco), pour marinara and throw a handful of shredded mozza on top. 25 minutes ezpz throw out the parchment paper and clean ups done. chicken parm for the whole family

Not an argument. Preferences are subjective. Me, I like Olive Garden's Chicken Parm. It's even sometimes better than my own that I whip up when i have lots of time to waste. I've tried from a half dozen other restaurants.

You faggots simply have too much time on your hands. That's why I strive to be successful, so I can have other wagecucks do the work for me when I'm not in the mood to waste time and clean up. Stay poor.

this has to be one of the worst threads i have ever seen on /ck. fake outrage/fake bantz/fake everything. if this is how olive garden wants to improve their sales by pushing microwaved shit lasagna, then they really need to figure out their target demographic. just stick to soccer moms via facebook ads promo offers. Fucking retards. You retards are like those tv shows that try and mimic 4chan.

I can see you sitting around the meeting table while youre sucking each others dick "ok guys this is how we are going to speak on 4chan lulz. make sure and say nigger and faggot and mention xyz product". you guys stick out so badly because you are coming across as fake.

he's good gauge of how shit Olive Garden is date tried to open one in Sofia the capital of Bulgaria it failed within a very short time and since has changed owners many times basically it's a franchise like McDonald's and McDonald's also has a very hard time trying to keep restaurants open in Bulgaria because the food quality is far far worse than any home-made shit people can make for less than the dollar that they earn each day

Sips were originally a pretty gud marketing strategy because they did seem to connect with their demographic. However, they succeeded so well, the sips threads are now just the imbecilic converts.

Boomer restauraunt marketing is a waste of money, no subsequent generations will accept it. These boomer sitdown places are on their last gasp.
