Oddly enough, in today’s Financial Page, there was a story about why Olive Garden is losing its butt these days; notably about the shovel-ful of breadsticks being doled out and uneaten, the cupful of dressing on the salads, (which is why I ask for it ‘on the side’) and something about their new logo “which looks like a second-grader’s attempt at cursive writing”…there waz more, but the ‘report’ about them was like, 300 pages of criticism by their corporate buyers…
The report also said that they don’t salt their pasta so that they can get longer warranties on their cook pots. Bland and tastless, but hey, those cook pots last FOREVER.
Oh, and another thing that scrapes my toast; The local Mexican restaurants that bring a basketful of Tortilla chips with just a tiny saucer of salsa to amuse yourself while waiting for ‘whatever number six is’ on the menu.

Either the service is slow or the bread sticks are stiff as wood.
