Those fucking bastards. Their commercials talk about a cooking school in France. Bullshit.

NewsFeed took the trouble to fact check the claims. Yes, there is a a beautifully restored rustic farmhouse - a common occurrence in a region that lives off high end gourmet tourism - located in an 11th century hamlet. There's a restaurant, but there's no school, per se. (See how foodies can eclipse [EM] and save [EM] the Green Movement.)
A spokesperson for the hotel confirmed that there's an agreement in place between them and Olive Garden. Olive Garden sends about a dozen people each week in the off-season between November and March. Their chef spends some time with them in the kitchen, but there's no school and the restaurant does not own anything there. The house and the restaurant belong, in fact, to a local wine label. (See Mario Batali, celebrity chef, back in the kitchen.)
