I suppose that OG decided with all the fakers out there, they thought
they'd post their's so you could at least get it right...or wrong.





Olive Garden isn't haute cuisine, but it certainly is decent food at a
decent price. As someone who was born in and grew up in a city with a
huge percentage of recently immigrant Italian families, and as someone
who dated "extensively" many lovely Italian girls in my youth, I have a
taste for "real Italian food." There are several "Italian cuisines"
extant in Italy and in this country, and they are marvelously different
from each other.

I don't frequent Olive Garden but I have eaten there a few times over
the years, and I can't recall having a "bad meal." Was the food I
ordered and ate "genuine Italian," whatever that is? Surely not, but it
was "Italianate," as they say.

We have an immigrant Italian family in the area. They operate two
first-class family Italian restaurants, sort of like Louis Restaurant in
the Bronx (from Godfather I) but a little fancier.

Reggie, as usual, is demonstrating he doesn't know his ass from a hole
in the wall. For a guy who never discusses his life, his family, his
possessions, et cetera, he certainly has much in the way of criticism of
others.
