Be Italian.
Make own marinara for spaghetti.
Make own pizza with leftover sauce.

Get on my level.

We went to my brother's foster home, and the Wisconsians gave us a gift basket full of cheeses, breads, sausages, dips, and other snacks. And it was ALL AMAZING.

Chicago dogs are the best thing on earth, loved eating them while I lived there.

Great. Now, I'm hungry. Thanks for keeping it real, vs. thread.

Let's change Moore's Law here: all political discussions should inevitably gravitate towards *food*.

That must have just happened. Surprised since vs. is pretty lenient.

So it looks like the company that runs Red Lobster and Olive Garden are backing down from anti-Healthcare policies after they realized it was causing a decrease in sales. When will these greedy bastards realize that the majority of Americans think healthcare is something every person deserves, especially those that work full-time. As long as the public continues to vote with their wallet these corporations will have to bend to the will of the people or be replaced by companies that value human dignity.

I'd love to see those data. I don't picture the Red Lobster/Olive Garden demographic as being politically interested in the well being of the employees. I see them much like some of the anti-laborer rhetoric on the Wal-Mart Black Friday strike thread here on CAG - utter disdain and scorn for employees who stand up for reasonable working conditions because it might get in the way of a deal on an LCD television.

Clearly I'm wrong.

You have to love this snippet:

The move will come just two days after the company lowered its profit outlook for the year, citing failed promotions and negative publicity from its tests that used more part-time employees.

So they admit to failing promotions, but the real problem is ACA. They aren't losing money because they ed up, nah it was that black dude in that white house, who made them perform these tests.

First, they came for my health care.

Next, they came for my unlimited salad and breadsticks.

Olive Garden should probably blame their atrocious food as well.

Seriously, Olive Garden is basically the Papa John's of Italian food.

Most of that shit is just reheated from pre-made dishes of food. You know who else does that? Fazoli's, but at least they aren't pretending it's gourmet food.

Now y'all are just snobs of the highest order. You're like liberal elites and stuff if you don't dine at Cracker Barrel and Olive Garden.

With so many good local Italian places I'd be and idiot if I went to olive garden.

If you ever talk to people who work in the food industry, you start seeing restaurants in a new light. Not McDonald's and such, but even sit down places.

I've yet to run into someone who claims that Cheesecake Factory is bad. I finally went there out of pure curiosity and it was ing awful. They have a gigantic menu, and it was suggested to me that "There is no way they can cook all of this food fresh. I'm positive it's all reheated frozen premade crap." And that's EXACTLY what it tasted like. So now I'm super wary about any place I go to for food, because there's this new level of perception applied.

I seriously can't even name restaurants I'd be jazzed to go to anymore, except for a small slice of places in Austin that are seriously amazing.

I ate in' awesome in Austin this summer. Ate and drank my way through the warehouse district and then...6th street? I don't remember, but it involved Latino drag queens and loads of Lone Star.

"Name" restauarants are the sort of thing I'll do (a) at an airport or (b) on the road. Even when I'm in " it, I just put in a 15 hour day" mode, I'll still make something at home. I don't eat fast food unless (a) or (b) happen. I'll have McD's like 4-5 times per year. Haven't had Taco Bell in 4+ years, there's a ton of places I've never eaten that people are incredulous. "What do you mean you've never eaten Sonic?"

When I go home for Christmas I'll eat a *ton* of Skyline Chili. That's about it in terms of going out of my way for fast food. Sit down meals? Not a ing chance. Unemployment was around 4% the last time I went to an Olive Garden. Legit.
