The venerable Olive Garden (AKA “OG”), often dismissed as a punch line, I stand by its food. Hey, it’s not fine dinning, but it's somewhere to go to have decent Italian food. The food is solid, a bargain really. $12.95 for bread sticks, salad, pasta, and egg plant parmesan? You kidding me? It’s a night out, convenient, and comfortable. For any doubters I leave you with the words of Top Chef under-performer and executive sous chef at Jean-Georges (obviously she’s no slouch), Lia Bardeen: “Everyone thinks the olive garden is hilarious. And I can understand where they are coming from. But I think for what the category it is in they do a really good job. People don’t realize or don’t think about it, but everything is done fresh every day. They have a saucier that does all the soups and sauces in the morning. However cheesy Olive garden is in some ways, the kitchen is no joke.”
A foodie’s delight? No. But don’t be such a snob.

The Olive Garden delivers value with their free salad and breadsticks. If you're cheap enough, you can virtually get two meals: one the salad and breadsticks, the other, your entree. I mean sure, it's iceberg lettuce, and there are only fourths of tomatoes, but salad is salad and it would cost you $1-7 dollars someplace else. The Olive Garden used to taste processed, but with its remodeling to its food and decor, tastes fresh. It's solid food at reasonable prices.
Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. (If he will be possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll I thankful, bye friend).
