The food is HORRID! Calling The Olive Garden the "McDonalds of Italian cuisine" is an insult to burger-flippers everywhere. It's a vile restaurant. I'd pick a Big Mac over their slop any day of the week.

I think it depends on which Olive Garden. My husband's first wife was Italian and he loves good Italian food and really likes Olive Garden. His in-laws who are really Italian actually order their food from OG in quantity at times when they are unable to make everything for their big parties. OTOH, I have eaten at several that were dreadful. But you can't indict the entire chain.
