Just thinking about eating at an Olive Garden in NY makes me sick.

OK... this has been happening so much lately that I think it's time we start asking some questions and checking to see if any of the companies' affected by this phenomenon have employees named "Mohamed".

A health department spokesman says they're trying to isolate the cause . . . .

I suspect it was the imitation Italian food.

Why does that story about all those people boarding a transit bus after it crashed come to mind?

Do you think it might be because hospitals/emergency rooms have improved reporting? Just a thought.

It's all that nasty white-flour pasta crap that Americans just can't seem to get enough of. I always thought their food was way overpriced since 90% of most of their dishes is just wheat flour with a minimum of protein concealed in a gravy, they call sauce. I'll take good Mexican, Thai, Indian, or Chinese food anyday.

160 people isn't a small number. I don't know about "improved reporting", a similar mass e. coli breakout just happened in my local area, and "they" wouldn't even report the name of the restaurant. I can only imagine that overall restaurant business in town declined pretty badly.

LOL! I was thinking the same thing, but the name is Juan. The e-coli outbreaks started after the illegal alien demonstrations began in April/May. Just an observation....

Hmmm...most curious. First Taco Bell, then Taco Johns, now Olive Garden. All in various parts of the country.

Nope. Too many coincidences, what with the e-coli outbreak at Taco Bell all over the country. And I'm always a skeptic about coincidences.

Here's hoping that I may I be wrong.
