[FLAprogressive]

:)

1. Crap - I wonder how he feels about breastfeeding

Madness, sheer madness.

:crazy:

[Motown_Johnny]

5. gently I would hope

[LynneSin]

19. He only breast feeds Pit Bulls and other agressive dogs

:hide:

[Liberal_in_LA]

27. ouch!

[RedEarth]

22. And smoking while nursing a circumcised baby

at the Olive Garden.

[Wickerman]

26. I hope he doesn't let his kids run wild n/t

[salin]

2. and I love Kudzo and oven baked "fried" chicken! n/t

[Broderick]

3. They dropped the best dish in the past few years

Chicken Picatta I think it was called. Haven't been back after they dropped that.

[Motown_Johnny]

9. just ask for it anyways

I have never been to an Olive Garden but I bet they would still make it for you. I cooked for about 25 years and have a degree in Culinary Arts, trust me.


Picatta is a classic dish and easy to make. I'm betting someone would throw it together for you.

[Broderick]

16. I loved the

Artichokes in it. Had a unique flavor from anything similar offered. I might do that and ask them if they can resurrect it for me. thanks.

4. I may be asking for trouble, as I know the Olive Garden is a symbolically contenious topic at DU,

along with circumcision, but what actually is the crux of the debate? I missed the original argument some how and have been wondering for years now, but been too scared to ask.

[salin]

10. someone asked (lounge) for a recommendation for a local restaurant

and another poster responded with Olive Garden (chain, as opposed to a local establishment). At the time - reading it - the piling on was harsh. Now - its sorta funny (per the pile-on blended with shiny object phenomenon that occurs from time to time at DU.)

[Puregonzo1188]

17. Is that really it? Hmm...I thought it was something specific to Olive Garden.

I remember Doug's character on Weeds went on anti-Olive Garden tirade as well. I thought perhaps there was more to this.

[LynneSin]

23. I think the DUer ate at an Olive Garden in Manhattan.

And the thought was - all the great restaurants in NYC and you eat at an Olive Garden?

[Cirque du So-What]

25. I recall an episode of The Office

where Michael Scott was expounding upon NYC's greatness, then pointed to a Sbarro (regional pizza chain) as an example of 'authentic' New York pizza.

[Zanzobar]

12. Smoking in outdoor public spaces.

[flvegan]

6. Is Vick circumcised?

[tishaLA]

20. no, but the dogs were

[denem]

28. Stupid Kick for Vick

[Hawkeye-X]

7. I was there on Sunday

Crowded as hell, seat wait was only 15 minutes.

And then me, the wife and the kid ordered food, plus dessert.

Cost me all of $15.

How? $50 gift certificate from a friend.

[apocalypsehow]

8. The one right across the street from my free circumcision clinic. n/t.

[NoGOPZone]

11. And a Merry Vicksmas to you too!

As I write this, there are at least five Vick threads visible on my screen.

[CatWoman]

13. those bread sticks kick ass

:)

[Dappleganger]

14. Lots of people love overcooked Italian grub...

they wouldn't know what truly good Italian food tasted like if it hit them in the face.

[pinboy3niner]

15. But do they let you do algebra there?

:evilgrin:

[salin]

18. its a requirement.

;-)

[GoCubsGo]

30. Only the ones on low-carb diets to lose weight.

Or, was that low-fat? Or, low-glycemic index?

:evilgrin:

[rucky]

21. I was just Vicking about how Vickety-Vick it would be

to Vick Vick's Vick.

[cherokeeprogressive]

34. I was just Vicking about the Palin on Rove's McCain...

{{{{{shiver}}}}}

[toddaa]

24. He takes his kids there and let's them run wild

[proud2BlibKansan]

29. LOL

[salin]

31. and the bill for his hair cut... outrageous!

[jberryhill]

32. Do they still make you show a receipt on the way out?

[PBS Poll-435]

33. The Olive Garden is AWESOME.

So is their Minestrone Soup!


(Is it weird that Minestrone was in the DU dictionary, but it took 4 years for "Obama" to be included?)
