Red Lobster is more of a Northern 48 states restaurant.
While Captain D'S is more in the south.
I think there is an Applebees right next to the Olive Garden in South Bay ... yikes!
I have yet to see a Red Lobster around here. I think we were spared mercifully from the bad chains for a long time.
Just hope Golden Corral doesnt show!
"The Olive Garden hits some kind of middlebrow sweet spot, where people really do like it...but it's also a goofy chain with overblown pretensions toward authenticity.”
The review in question by Marilyn in the Grand Forks paper doesn't say that.
Y'all do realize that the reason that all Olive Gardens have the exact same menu and the exact same food is that there are no chefs in the restaurants? All the food is prepared in one central location and shipped to each restaurant in seal-a-meal bags.
Not for Italian food it is not.In Boston it is all about the East Coast Grill
No. He's not kidding. Everything is designed from start to finish in a lair on a secluded island somewhere off of the coast of Myanamar where all of the other diabolical franchises are. Plotting to eradicate the world of wholesome real food.....Salads in bags, sauces in bags, meats precooked, bread products frozen, cheeses all processed and pre grated. Everything portioned out to the last ounce to assure cost control. Do you know that restaurants can buy tomatoes already sliced in boxes ?I
You're joking, right?
It's been a dozen years or two decades since I've gone to one of their restaurants, so I forgot the menu details. Surely they serve more stuff than could come out of seal-a-meal bags. Even taking for granted the bread sticks, etc. could be frozen without too bad a result.
They've got to be using at least some fresh ingredients. The salad stuff of course. But that can't be the only fresh food they serve.
Other than a few in Ct., there are no RL in the other five New England states, which have been proudly a part of the northern 48 states from the beginning. Looks like they know when to quit.

Yum!
Andy M and I had brunch there once!
Ah yes, I remember it well. But never on Hell Night! I need a creamsicle just thinking about it.
A creamsicle is for wimps
I don't have issues with spicy foods. I eat them regularly.
However, I have no interest in trying to find out if I can eat the hottest peppers on the planet. So if I'm a wimp OK. That's probably not the only reason.
