That's it. I'm fucking done. I'm done pretending to dislike this place just to fit in with you retarded homosexuals.

I don't like the chicken in the chicken fettuccine. It's spongy and weird, I don't know what the fuck they do to it.

Par cooked and then microwaved in the portion pack by a lazy line cook.
When I worked there, there wasn't even a microwave on the line.
You wanna know OG's "secret" marinade, at least from 20 years ago?
50/50 kikkoman soysauce and Dole service pack pineapple juice. marinated overnight in a large 4" ClearCambro.
That's it.
I don't know what the do in the kitchen now, but when I worked there, we even made the salad dressing as part of morning prep.
The only thing that wasn't "Scratch made" were the #10 cans of marinara.
It wasn't top tier cooking by any stretch of the imagination, but as far as chain restaurants go, it's rare to see prep lists that large. Take Chilis for example: Literally the ONLY food there that didn't come in bags, boxes or cans,(premade, INB4 but muh produce boxes!,) was the pic de gallo that almost nobody ate anyway. The prep lists were little more than putting shit in portion packs and day-dotting them.
I kinda doubt OG still does it all In-House, but they really do actually cook food there.
This post again, huh, fag?
I think it important for certain people to repost certain thread topics because they get paid a certain amount of shekels depending on how many yous they get.
Good for you, brother. Go ahead and be yourself.
Based as fuck OP.
You retards don’t know italian at all.
Oh look it's this thread again.
Olive Garden shill thread everyone, don't worry about it and move along.
Here's another shill, sad how anons fall for marketing so easily.
Other anons just let it die, this is a shill thread.
Actually I lied
Olive Garden is unironically garbage
>checked
You aren't wrong, but why not just fuck the shills over by hiJacking their shit and making it what Culinaly wants to discuss?
Otherwise, it's just taking up space on the catalog since Jannies wont fucking do their job, and even when the do, in the rare instance, DELET THREAD, two more will pop up in their place.
Fuck'Em! Co-opt this shit and make it YOURS!
Best thing for shill breads? Culinaly kitchen guys spilling the recipes for anons to cook that shit at HOME for 1/2-1/10th the cost.(and usually better too)
Why not?
Every time you see some shitty shill thread "Organically" trying to "3 for Free" it, HIJACK that shit.
Fair point anon. I like how you think. Let's hijack this thread.
Tonight my wife is making dumplings from the duck we have leftover from yesterday's dinner. Gonna have it with some rice and vegetables, should be the tits. What are you gonna have for dinner anon?
I’m a big fat nigga I’m eating myself
Kek! That wasn't me.(
)
idk. I'm not even a garden hater and it was pure sloppa when I went a couple years ago
>no longer has the balsamic steak gorgonzola pasta
No longer in my good graces OP
maybe im spoiled. there are a dozen pizzerias closer than olive garden with lower prices. several of them serve alcohol too
You should fucking have a nice day now OP for shilling this trash
trained in Italy
didn't know they had to teach you how to reheat frozen meals in italy
Absolutely! And did you know that for a limited time only, Neverending soup salad and breadsticks is back for only $9.99 a person at participating locations? That's crazy, right?! With family style deals like this, what have you got to lose? And of course, when you're there... YOU'RE FAMILY!
god tier salad
Litterally doesnt exist
God tier breadsticks
cheesecake factory has far better bread
god tier pasta
ive never in my life heard of pasta refered to as GOD tier
thats like saying ramen is GOD TIER
ramen and pasta can only go so high
>soup
i never had it i cant judge
>god tier value
looking at the local menu price
everything is 20$+
so wrong again.
>chefs trained in italy
i dont care if they were trained on the moon, how do they behave in their own kitchen under little to no supervision?
>better than most mom and pop italian places
Plausible a lot of mom and pop places have gotten lazy and cheap with ubereats/doordash becoming popular
So Olive garden social media manager
im guessing they tasked you with attempting to slip this into the cultural ck zeitgeist because it was leaked that they might be closing all stores but now are playing it off as if its not happening so share holders don't sell off before the whales?
you're so easy to read
i wish you weren't a pussy
do you really think a major chain gives a shit about what the 8 people on Culinaly think?
You are based, OP. Ignore the haters calling you a shill, I fucking love Olive Garden and always get the mozzarella sticks and five cheese ziti forno. Absolutely delicious.
I'd rather go to a chain restaurant that is always at least decent, than risk losing my money's worth at some local Italian eatery dump with shit food.
I have to go once a month for a working lunch with coworkers. The soup, salad and bread sticks are just fine for me. It's not fine dinning but it's better than eating fast food.
the pasta tastes like shit.
Their salad is the only decent thing they have going for them.
Everything else you can literally get better at Fazolis.
WA LA
>God tier
I admit I like going for a chicken Parmigiano once in a while, but you're overselling it.
their soup, salad, and bread sticks are edible. their entrees are ass
Literally just ate at Olive Garden for the first time in years today with a friend (I got the never-ending pasta-bowl and they got unlimited soup and salad) and is correct.
We traded options going through all the menu combinations. I came to the following conclusions:
Breadsticks are the best items on the menu period, then the soups (all are great, the Chicken and Gnocchi was and is my favorite) and the salad is good. Of the pastas: No difference in noodle taste-wise regardless of shape. The sauces are bland. Not bad tasting, but tasteless. There's a reason they leave separate salt and pepper grinders at the table for you. Also when they come to grind the cheese for you, it's important that you let them go on for an almost-uncomfortable amount of time (a visual cue if you can still see any pasta below the layer of grated cheese it's not yet enough). I think they purposefully underseason their pasta/sauce assuming that customers will compensate with added cheese at the table.
I also forgot they give you some after-meal chocolate mints to take away with your doggy-bag leftovers.
Olives grow in orchards, you wouldn’t even be able to grow them in a garden.
>chefs trained in Italy
Enjoy over paying for something so simple you can make it at home and even use better ingredients. I've eaten there twice and it's meh at best.
I have never had Olive Garden. Am I missing out?
Yes. Big time.
>chefs trained in Italy
??? My wetback uncle is a chef there and I can promise you he's never stepped a single foot outside north america
This is going to be what marketing is in this century, framing consoomerism as some epic rebellious stance.
