Watching TV as I fade off this evening. An Olive Garden commercial comes on -- young woman is talking about bringing the guy she's dating to meet all of her friends. "I had the perfect place," she says. Flash to group joking with said guy over seafood pasta with cream sauce. If I brought the guy I'm dating to meet my friends over dinner at the Olive Garden, it would be really hard to determine who would be the most horrified person at the table.

Those commercials MUST be aimed at suburbanites. Or tourists. Even their bread is horrible.

I'm happy for the girl in the commercial. Serious. She has a date and doesn't need to go to some fancy place that will cost over 100.00 bucks for dinner. Ahhhhh...NYC girls...have to love them.

There are plenty of cheap, amazing places in NYC that aren't hideous chain restaurants where you can definitely get dinner for two for far less than $100. I'd take any of them over Olive Garden!!
