I've often wondered how many companies employee small armies of grandmothers to bring us their mass-produced cans of soup and frozen dinners.

Olive Garden isn't bad.  It's reasonably priced and very affordable and the food is good.  Actually all of the restaurants owned by Darden are pretty decent.  Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Smokey Bones and Bahama Breeze. 

I just don't go to Olive Garden hardly at all anymore because my wife and I like Carrabba's a lot better.  Nothing against the Olive Garden but Carrabba's is just the best Italian chain restaurant in my opinion.  They're a little more pricey but it's well worth it.  The food is freakin delicious.  We go there at least once a month.

I have a much younger friend of mine who I met at the range I go to.  Known him for a few years.  He's had every odd job imaginable.  One of the jobs he had was as a cook at the Olive Garden.  He said he was the only white person in the kitchen.  Everyone else was Mexican.  Apparantly they were very rude to him because he quit after 3 days.

This from a guy who likes "baboon's ass" and "horsecock sandwiches", not to mention S.O.S. and MRE's.

Nuff said.

Can Olive Garden really be called, "Italian"?? They pale in comparison to some of the Italian restaurants I've eaten at in San Diego (or what I can make myself)

You start mentioning food and San Diego, and my lower lip starts to quiver and a tear forms in the corner of my eye.

Ever try to explain Santana's to a person who thinks Velvetta cheese and flour tortillas make for good enchiladas?  Or the perfect dish of ceviche from Miguel's?

100 hole in the wall Mexican places in Point Loma you could swing and hit with a dead cat were better than the best of anything conceivable here.  Casa de Loma on Rosecrans.  Best enchiladas ever.  EVER.  And the submariner bar in the back.  Ah, good times.

Although I will say the average Italian place here puts SD stuff to shame, with the possible exception of Buca di Beppo.

Little Italy, on University Ave was one of my fav Italian places in San Diego. They had an anti-pasto salad that was awesome!! And Mexican places?? Even Roberto's (the drive through chain) was better than any place around here. El Indio was one of my fav Mexican places, but, you're right. There are so many Mexican places in San Diego that it's a tough call and they're ALL pretty good. There was one dine in Mexican place on El Cajon Blvd or University, I can't remember, but they had a live Mariachi band there and the food was as good as it gets. What I really miss are the street vendors with the tacos or fish tacos in Tijuana.
