“It should be a crime that so many people misuse ‘Italian’ for food which is an absolute travesty.”

Speaking of Gernal Mills scratch franchise Olive Garden.

I’ve been dragged there for dinner (as well as spaghetti factory).

I’ve made it clear that I will never eat at either again in my lifetime.

As well, I’ll ONLY sample an ‘Italian’ Ristorante on personal reference. That comes after a literal lifetime of disappointment. Same goes even for pizza (although there are merely 2 pizza places in the state which earn my irregular business).

The ONLY Italian eatery that I’ve sampled in 40 years with what I classify as ‘good’ Italian food is Crusco’s in Angel’s Camp, CA.

Thus, my pursuit of a real kitchen with which to retire (and cook until room temperature)
