good, but the remaining food is mediocre.

Can't go back after their stance on the ACA.

I am not a big Italian food person, so I only eat there when others I am with want to eat there. Since there is no Olive Garden in my town, I only eat there about once every five years or so, if that.

Good gentles, please commence...

Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they fought with expert timing

They were funky China men from funky Chinatown
They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down
It's an ancient Chineese art and everybody knew their part
From a feint into a sli, and kicking from the hip

Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they fought with expert timing

There was funky Billy Chin and little Sammy Chung
He said here comes the big boss, lets get it on
We took a bow and made a stand, started swinging with the hand
The sudden motion made me skip now we're into a brand new trip

Everybody was kung-fu fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they did it with expert timing

we live in a burg just outside Orlando.. when the family goes out for a quick bite... 3 kids, one wife, we argue like cats and dogs about where we will eat. It was so much easier when they were little...

Anyhow... When I mention Olive Garden they tend to agree---something about the unlimited bread sticks that do it.

They pay their employees with direct deposit in a debt account set up by the company in a bank that charges fees to the employee . It's an insidious evil plot to steal money by a third party a bank and it should be illegal. Jimmy anyone is doing it and soon your job will too unless you make a stand now. Boycott Olive Garden And Jimmy John's.
