GFY has the snobbiest eaters, bar none.

I like OG. I think its good. Hell I can't think of many restaurants that I don't enjoy. All food is good to me.

Would an authentic Italian chef praise OG? Of course not. Its $15 a plate, not $50.

Good one.

I don't think I've been to one in 6, maybe 7 years.

Dude . . . you can get high quality, authentic Italian food for $15 per plate. Maybe not on the upper east side of Manhattan, but in quite a few places it can be had.

Olive Garden is about processing food for the masses; not authenticity. it's good at what it does.

I do not mind their food myself. I just do not think it is authentic, then again I would not think of many places that are not Americanized versions anyways. Was it not that Mario dude who really brought authentic to the US and most balked at it for some time cause it was not the Itailian they were used to and even he Americanized his some.

Nah I'm all about hole-in-the-wall places. They're fantastic. I'm just saying it doesn't mean OG is shit. I eat at taco shops the health department is afraid of, I don't care, the food is good.

Olive Garden kicks ass. Me and the girlfriend had there for the lunch all you can soup salad and bread sticks all the time. they have delicious food. wether it's anything close to authentic italian food or not who fuckin cares - good food is good food.

By the way, the Chinese food you all eat and love. It isn't authentic. The sushi we all love isn't either, its an American/European version.

I don't care if something is authentic or not. It means nothing to me. If it tastes good, I'm happy.

Yeah, you're right it's not shit. It's palatable, but OG isn't the real deal. Anyway, it's good to be a snobby eater!

I took a stripper there for dinner. It was her choice. It was the first time I ever went there. I thought it was ok. Clearly not "good" food but it was ok for the price and all. The stripper was HOT!
