First Taco Hell, now Olive Garden?

Over 250 sick after eating at Indiana Olive Garden
2 hours, 3 minutes ago

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - More than 250 people have reported becoming sick after eating at an Olive Garden restaurant in Indianapolis, Indiana, a county health official said on Friday, a day after an outbreak of E.coli at Taco Bell restaurants was declared over.

The news makes Olive Garden at least the third U.S. restaurant chain this month to be linked to widespread customer illnesses.

Some customers who ate at the Olive Garden restaurant in northeast Indianapolis between December 9 and December 13 have reported nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and in some cases fever, said John Althardt, a spokesman for the Marion County Health Department.

Three of those people have been hospitalized.

Tests of the sick peoples' stool and leftovers they took home from the restaurant will be conducted later today or Monday, Althardt said. He added that the tests would take about 48 hours.

A spokesman for Olive Garden parent Darden Restaurants Inc. was not immediately available for comment.

Wasn't there already a jizz thing with Olive Garden?

Didn't hear that. There is a jizz problem here.

They finally today decided to close that resturant down until further notice. I can't imagine they were doing too much business anyway.

Well, at least he got half of it right.

You know, my instinct is to bust on them, but the last couple of times I went [first times in years], it was pretty d@mn good.
Last x-mas [for my sister's BD, her choice], had the Seafood Portofino. All the ingredients were top notch.
Last June, after the power finally came back on, went to the new one that opened near my home, had the Chianti braised Short Ribs. Course that time, I might've just been so relieved that the AC was back on that anything would've tasted good.

I've never had bad food there, but their commercials make me want to gouge my eyes out with a rusty nail.

Olive Garden makes sick, regardless of E-Coli. Faux Italian food.

Macaroni Grill > Olive Garden

By ALOT! I could sit in MG and dip bread in peppered olive oil and drink wine and be totally satisfied.
