I see a pattern. They all suck.

Where I live there is a plethora of really good, family-owned authentic Italian restaurants. Yet, OG is packed. I think it’s like McDonalds. It sucks, but it’s a suck you know - the product is painfully consistent wherever it is. People stick with the familiar rather than take a chance on something different.

The CEO’s bio on Wikipedia mentions that he “seems to be a Democrat.”

Darden Restaurants is owned by General Mills! Fake Italian food and Wheaties, great combination.
