If Only

imagine making food so good, they model a whole country after you

Dude if they made a country based on Olive Garden it would be so hype

We have enough violence in the world right now, don't involve the Italians too

They have a fascist government again, so I'd say it's a little too late for that..
- Albania finally might have an use for all those bunkers
Food is a dead serious matter in Italy!

Olive garden breadsticks taste like microwaved Wonder bread with vegetable oil and table salt sprinkled on.

The world is cuckoo bananas.

So let me clarify something before I get to the rest of my comment...I LOVE a lot of cheap, technically shitty quality foods. Fast food burger and fries?? I'm there. Microwaved food at chain restaurants? Loving it. And I fucking love eating the free bread at restaurants.

But I just do NOT understand the hype for Olive Garden bread sticks. They look and taste EXACTLY like a particular kind of cheese stuffed bread sticks (minus the stuffed cheese) that were mass produced and sold in public schools all throughout my childhood. They were tolerable but not great. When I first went to an Olive Garden I was transported back into grade school with the exact smell, look, and taste.

I just don't get it. Even shit-tier places like Little Caesars do bread sticks better.
- I would do borderline illegal things for some fucking Cra-z-bread.
  
  And while I understand where you're coming from about Olive Garden's sticks, I frankly don't care. Those be some tasty mass produced bread product sticks, especially when dipped in their chicken & gnocchi soup. But I get it. The hype is too much for them to live up to. They were probably REALLY good about 20 or so years ago. Enshitification to cut costs.
  
  But today, I don't care, I have a very unhealthy relationship with bread and will shove them in my face whenever I get the chance.
Their salad is amazing though. I could eat bowl after bowl.
- Absolutely agreed 👌

We can dream

Italy, but everything is made of hot dogs.

Glizzaly.

Thanks. I hate it.

Too bad Italy is a myth like Wyoming.

Today I learned Italy is the Ohio of Europe.

italy is not, Italy is

Olive Garden is disgusting

You better thank whatever pantheon you worship that Italy isn't real
It used to be good. They went downhill at some point in the last 5-10 years. Their bread sticks always taste like store bought now and they got rid of my favorite meal (the steak gorgonzola Alfredo).
- The last time they were halfway decent was back in the 90s. LOL
- Where do you think 99% of restaurants supply their food from? It's all store bought. They just make it for you.
Where else can you get a margarita and margherita?

If Olive Garden was my first experience with Italian food, I'd wish Italy didn't exist.

Red Lobster cheddar biscuits are so good, I wish Cheddar was a real place too.

I was eating at Olive Garden one time with a friend when he declared that Olive Garden restaurants consumed 20% of the world's supply of black olives.

I'm ChatGPT, a computer program developed by OpenAI. I'm not an Italian guy or a human being because I'm a text-based AI model designed to generate responses based on the text input I receive and the vast amount of information I was trained on. My purpose is to assist and provide information, but I don't have personal experiences or a physical presence like a human.

/S I'm Italian, really

same but Jerma, I wish that funny little PSYCHO was real, the guy that KILLED 5 PEOPLE IN 1888 AND IS STILL AT LARGE

I doubt he's still at large 135 years later. He prolly dead.
- that's the joke

Eataly is a thing.

it's very real i saw it in rome once
- Reminds of that old joke. You know what they call Chinese food in China? Food.
- Worst pizza I ever had was in Rome. Probably because they tried to make an American pizza and failed.

It's so good, it makes me wish family were real.
