Yes, it is, but I like them both. In fact, I ate at Olive Garden earlier in the week.

Macaroni Grill's bread ROCKS. :thumb:

good bread, but they never cut it. and my brother doesn't have the patience to calmly and smoothly slice the bread, so he crushes it into breadsticks.

OG used to have great bread, but they have fallen off recently.

Macaroni Grill's wine sucks ass but everything else they serve is pretty damn good.

Olive Garden's wine sucks too of course. The food tastes ok but is very fattening. The alfredo sauce they use is cream cheese thinned down with heavy whipping cream and seasoned with garlic pepper and 2 other cheeses.

Don't get the "house" wine and you'll be fine. I think it's Rossi, right?

actually neither OG's wine nor MG's wine are house wines since it is made offsite. I think Rossi is the name of wine at OG. both OG and MG have some good selections on thier wine list but I cant stand the stuff they try to push on me as soon as I sit down

I think I'm going to stop eating altogether. It's too damn dangerous.

All-Heave Garden.

Anyone had a mountain dew lately ??? I bought one today, and it tasted like it had everclear in it!!!

Noooooooo --- I didn't put it there either....

Terrorist vegans!

Someone sneezed in the Pasta Primavera?

*see Seinfeld

Last Italian I ate was a little starchy ...

I wonder how many of the skanks at the school said "This does have a familiar taste to it"?

Overall, I think chain dining is one of the worst things to happen to food in America.

But, in parts of the country where they don't have a strong Italian community, OG and MG make an acceptable substitute at a reasonable cost. My family prefers OG, but I really think it depends on the particular store more than the chain. Either of those two can be terrible if you go to one that is poorly managed. The upper end wines on the the list ($7 a glass and up) they are decent.

LOL, has anyone else seen the new Taco Bell commercial with the British guy who "assures you that their food is safe"?

His accent was so refined, I thought he was going to host Masterpiece Theatre right there in the Taco Bell dining area.

hmmm, sounds familiar.
