I waited on another football player tonight
You may remember that a few weeks ago I waited on Ron Stone, OG for the San Fran Fag... err, Niners. Well, tonight another pro football player came into Olive Garden. This time it was Dat Nguyen of my beloved Cowboys. He came in with his wife (who I recognized from Hard Knocks) and I guess either his little brother and sister or his neice and nephew. The man ate a ton of salad, more than just about anyone I've seen there. He changed his order three times on me (after the order had been sent to the kitchen), and sucked down his water like there was no tomorrow. He seemed like a nice guy, and his wife was very friendly. Hmm, nothing else very exciting to report about this...

bbor, you guys must have some BAD food up in Canada if you are asking for Olive Garden. That place tastes like frozen dinners. You can call them Italian food, but really it sucks.

Overpriced, overrated, and over shitty. I have had a $25 gift card there for over 3 months and have yet to use it.

It's not too bad, Marm. Personally, there are a few Ma and Pop Italian restaurants in the are that I prefer to take my girlfriend to. OG certainly isn't the greatest, but it's not bad. Man, I almost busted out laughing at school yesterday when I overheard a girl sitting behind me telling her friend about how her mom was so overwhelmed when her husband took her to OG for V-Day. I feel sorry for that woman if the highlight of her year is eating at OG...

I like the Olive Garden. Anyone eaten at the Macaroni Grille? I got hooked on it when I lived up in Akron. Good stuff.

Never eaten at Mac Grill. But Johnny Carino's has some bad-ass stuffed mushrooms...

Decent for a normal person, but disappointing for a millionaire football player. Their check was about $30 and they left me nbearly six. His wife was the one who signed the credit card slip.
Larry Allen is still my pro football player tipping champ with his thirty dollar tip on a seventy dollar check...

I love the Olive Garden's side orders. I'm addicted to their salad dressing, breadsticks with alfredo, soups, desserts and other compliments. Their main dishes....well...I get the feeling I could make something comparable to most of them. I have the same question as Logan, what kind of tip did Dat leave? I worked with one of his cousins before, she was a nice (and very smart!) lady. I wish the Wrecking Crew still had players like Dat.

I like Olive Garden a little, but mostly for the all you can eat soup and salad lunches. Mac Grille is fantastic, but nothing beats Carrabba's. If you haven't had it, you're missing something special.
Of course, while I'm on Atkins, I've stayed far away from all three. I could find a meal without pasta at Carrabba's, but watching everyone eat their great bread would kill me.

I always looked at the Olive Garden as one step above McDonalds. I guess Dat Nguyen is playing for the league minimum now?

Yes! I agree completely. Ipps is a great place. I've had many lunches there. Probably too many. There is also a place near where I live called Italian Oven. Food is pretty good, service is GREAT, and the prices are pretty good too.

I like the Olive Garden too. It's one of the places me and my girlfriend go one those 'special holidays'. But that's only because we are both poor. If we were older and had money, we'd be going to other places on those holidays.
But for a regualr dinner, I like it. Good stuff. The Tour of Italy is what I usually order. |

There was an Italian Oven outside of Baltimore (Severna Park), that was great, but it turned into a steak place. We have one in a local mall where I live now, and it's not as good. Well, the food might be, but the service was extremely slow not once but twice, so we haven't been back (when you have kids 3 and under, you can't afford to wait very long for your food). I can't wait 'till they finish the Macaroni Grill near us. I like Olive Garden ok (though their prices keep going up and up - 7.25 for a lunch portion of Chicken Giardino??), but I love the Macaroni Grill. Knowing they were building one by us was enough for me to abandon the Atkins Diet (ok, after only 2 weeks). I could eat their bread and olive oil alone all day. |

Waited on Richie Anderson and his family last night. Nice people.
Bradie James has also been in the restaurant a few times over the past few months, but I haven't waited on him personally...

It completely fucks with my head when someone brings back an old thread and I don't realize it. Especially when I'm scrolling through quickly and see something like:

Happened to me too. Until I read my post, I was about to post what I posted a year and a half ago.

I love Olive Garden, they have a professionally trained staff of cork soakers that are just out of this world. It really helps the flavor of the white's. But I know, I know, most people prefer a good red while enjoying Olive Garden, and they have expert cork soakers for that too.

My wife and I love Mac Grill and have been tortured by their local commercials even though they don't have a restaurant anywhere near here. When we go on vacation we always try to stop where we find one. Heard a rumor that they might be opening one in town in the next few months. Can't wait.
Jeeb, do you work across the street from a stadium or something? |

Nah, but the restaurant is in a nice, central part of the DFW area. It's also not too far from the Cowboys facilities in Valley Ranch...

I briefly had a bartending gig in Milwaukee, got to serve quite a few NBAers. Dikembe Mutombo is the tallest motherfucker you can imagine. Tracy McGrady likes to drink. Toni Kukoc, I think, is always in agonizing pain. Always.
