The only memorable thing I have ever gotten from Olive Garden was chlamydia.
>>22210042Bread Sticks
>>22210042i had the spaghetti cram
>>22210042Right
>>22210091olive garden is like the only good fast casual chain. I will go to olive garden over mcdonalds or burger king 10 out of 10 times
>>22210576You're a little bit garbage, aren't ya?
>>22210042I think tour of Italy anon and BBS anon should fight to the death.
>>22210042The Tour of Italy is my favorite dish to order.Every time we go to Olive Garden with the family I like to make a fun little event of it."pack your bags" I say to my wife "we're going on a tour!"I grab my passport and head out the door.We get to the restaurant in 10 minutes flat."WOW, Italy is a lot closer to home than I thought!"When we get to the restaurant I ask the hostess "do I need to speak Italian here?" with a big grin. The hostess giggles and takes us to our table.When we get seated at the restaurant the waiter takes our order."I'll have the tour of Italy" I exclaim. "Do you need to see my passport?" I say slyly. The waitress giggles and says she will bring out the breadsticks and salad soon.The salad arrives and I get extra cheese on top per usual."starting off up north at the snow covered Italian Alps I see!" My wife groans but the waitress gets a giggle out of it.The main course comes and it's just as beautiful as I remember it.I grab my fork "Where do I even begin?!"I take my fork and make airplane noises as I dive my fork down into the Chicken Parmigiana "Milan, you taste magnificent!""Next let's see Florence!" I direct my fork toward the signature Fettuccine Alfredo. It's like I can taste the culture without even seeing the city!"Now for the grand finally, let's head down to Rome!"My fork gobbles up the Lasagna Classico in seconds."Mama Mia! what a trip!"We get the bill "wow a whole tour of Italy for only $14.99? what a bargain!"The waitress seems pretty over it at this point but manages to crack a little smile as she takes my credit card. "Didn't even need to crack out the American Express! hah!"As we leave I wave and exclaim "arrivederci!" to all the staff as we walk out the door.What a great family restaurant.
Why do women call it "THE" Olive Garden? That's not what it's called.
>>22210593>i'm going to the park>i'm going to parkLearn English.
>>22210597If you are in a car, both can be true. English is VERY complex and often contradicts itself. I'm proud to be very good at navigating it effortlessly.
>>22210593Why do you think it's women doing this? It's not incorrect to have an Olive Garden restaurant location in your town and call it 'the' Olive Garden.THE grocery store.THE Pizza Hut.Doesn't matter if it's a proper noun or not. Just because the sign doesn't have 'the' on it doesn't mean it's not a building that's a 'the'.
>>22210601Which is the point, it is ambiguous. Being able to parse such ambiguity is not an accomplishment, most 5 year olds can do it, but most 5 year olds can't avoid using such ambiguity. Sadly, most adults can't avoid it either. >>22210603Word class is ambiguous without the article, could be a noun or verb, has nothing to do with if it is a proper noun or not. We can and do use proper nouns as verbs, context almost always makes word class clear but relying on context out of laziness is being a lazy retard.
>>22210589you will never be the mcchicken copypasta
>>22210611Are you saying The Olive Garden is wrong or what? I'm very dazzled by your vocabulary, but you don't really make a point about it.
I have never seen an Asian family eat Italian food
>>22210042Chicken parmasean pretty much every time. I haven't been in years though. Probably don't give you nearly as much as they used to.
>>22210617"The Olive Garden" is wrong, the article is not part of the name so should not be capitalized but "the Olive Garden" is completely correct and removes any ambiguity about word class. Things can get tricky since some proper nouns are commonly verbs and sound funny with the article, "I am going to use the Google," we connect such usage to old people because it is not idiomatic but it is correct and good, it is the idiomatic usage which is incorrect. Idiom sometimes trumps proper usage and you should probably Google this if you are confused.
>>22210628Well, it really doesn't matter because outside of this strange discussion any use of 'the Olive Garden' is going to be verbal and therefore it doesn't fucking matter whether you capitalize the 'the'. Anon posted "why do women CALL it", which suggests he meant when spoken. How are you not seeing that?
>>22210628Who actually sincerely calls it 'the Google'? Not even old people. Not even satirical send ups of old people.
>>22210635That was just an example and picked to highlight how idiomatic usage can make proper usage weird.
>>22210576Wing Stop and Chipotle are fast casual not Olive Garden Any place with 15 wines on the menu is not a “fast casual” restaurant lol
>>22210603That's because you're Californian and call it "THE freeway"
>>22210042I sacrifice my soup but I fucking love those laszana frittas. Due to a medical reason I cannot eat a lot at one time. So even 1/3rd of that fills me up till a 3-4 hours later. So one pretty much lasts me the entire day.
>>22210717my bad I thought applebees and tgi fridays and chilis and olive garden were called fast casual restaurants. guess I didn't actually know what it meant.
>>22210726They are, fast casual is a term made up to make fast food not sound like fast food.
>>22210726Fast casual is like fast food but if you want to chill there while you eat and there are tables. Those other ones basically dress up fast food and expect you to want the dining room experience.
>>22210084Chicken fried Chihuahua steak
>>22210042Worked here as a waiter when I was 18, everything on the menu is horse shit, just variable degrees of it. The most disgusting thing was the salmon with artichoke dip on it. Everything with Alfredo sauce sucks. The only thing I will eat there is the salad.
>>22210730I will concede there’s not much meaning to the term beyond marketing for the fast food restaurants sitting at around the $15 price point for an average meal. It’s kind of used to mean the intermediate step between full blown fast food like McDonald’s and full blown sit down restaurants where you have to be waited on and they give you a beeper if there’s a wait.
>>22210742It never meant that, it just meant fast food but with a wait staff.
>>22210042Drunk
>>22210739we had a guy that worked there in the 90s and he said everything was made from scratch at that time. I think he even posted some recipes. I haven't been there in 14 years so I'm sure it's much different now. could be better even.
>>22210720I'm not a Californian, but are you actually suggesting people would utter "Hey, Bob. Take freeway to get to the next city."?
>>22210748Panera doesn't have wait staff and that's the quints essential fast cas'
>>22210042>rightSEXOOOO
>>22210756The FDA has been after them for years over their use of "fast casual."
>>22210759Check out this edgelord.
>>22210042I like the pasta nachos. I get a big bowl of Secret Soup instead of an entree.
>>22210793>over 1,000 hours of Olive Garden commercialsthere’s no way they’ve made anywhere near that much. At most there exists like 2 collective hours of olive garden commercials
>>22210856he didn't specify that they were all different commercials
>>22210042Super Salad
>>22210793>>22210856You're right, there is definitely not 1000 hours of olive garden commercials, and even if there were it would not be enough to train an "AI"This bullshit meme came out even before normies knew about AI or chatgpt
>>22211085Shut up. We know how training data works for AI
>>22210573she's like 10
>>22211118Right on
>>22211118Nah I don't think she's a 10, maybe an 8.
>>22210042>Olive garden>Has olive skinWhat did they mean by this?
>>22210042Anyone remember the Fonduta?
