samanthasays , I went to their website and there isn't one even remotely close. I guess I'll just have to stick to Olive Garden.

I used to work at Olive Garden And I have no gross stories. They run a pretty tight ship. Although the neverending pasta bowls are a rip off. The pasta is pre-portioned in little bags and they just nuke it in the microwave. Pregame with a dollar menu burger and order a regular pasta dish if you have that kind of appetite.

It's like you just ruined Christmas :-( I love never ending pasta bowls. I kid. I don't know what a dollar menu burger means.

So we are having game night at our house tomorrow and the people coming over are bringing dinner for everyone. They are having a baked potato bar. H doesn't eat potatoes. And the other guy is 6'5" and 220# so a potato is a side for him.

Now I'm looking up hearty dips to go with it so they have enough food not to be hungry all night.

Micky-D's Like if you have such a voracious appetite that one massive portion of pasta from Olive Garden wont satisfy you, drive through McDonalds on your way and get a dollar menu burger. Then enjoy some decent pasta, not the microwaved stuff.

That makes I haven't been into one of those in probably over 20 years.  I also don't eat meat so I haven't stepped into any fast food burger place in years.

I mean, that's not the worst thing ever. Unlimited soup, salad and breadsticks are such a treat!

I just saw a run away shopping cart at Target.........with a BABY in it!!!! And the lady just nonchalantly walked after it like it was no big deal.

Yah I needed a new hook up to get my fix after I stopped working there I used to just bring home to go cups filled with it. 

[hydrangea1019]

Yaaaaay I'm back. The app kept crashing for the last few hours just like wannabmama said this morning. That was annoying. It worked fine right up until lunch.
lilsneezy yeah it's pretty miserable sometimes, but the first leg right in the morning is manageable.

I think the bottle of their dressing tastes different then the restaurant stuff.

I am eating doritos to help calm my stomach. I don't know why it works but it does.

I am sure the restaurant stuff is worse for you, but better tasting, they have to put everything on the label when they bottle it, and I am sure the amount of fat would be cringeworthy. But it is sooo good. At Olive Garden it is in a metal vat thing built in to the counter where they prep the salads, they change it out so often, so its not gross. I bet they also dont have the same shelf life concerns.
