Weird History Food is getting the family together and going down to get the History of Olive Garden. Originally called “The” Olive Garden, everyone’s favorite destination for unlimited breadsticks and salads was actually a creation of corporate behemoth General Mills. So how has Olive Garden stayed so popular and relevant for decades? Let’s carb-load this video on the OG

They are not good cheap Fazoliโs taste better
What a waste giving the slogan to a corporate shill, moron like Fallon.
Today their main competition comes from Eastside M.C. Mario's!
I hate chains but Olive Garden is certainly an exception
an applebees episode would be good cuz no one likes applebees now
Bread sticks? Who cares? When they start having a REAL unlimited salad, rather than cheap, nutrition-poor ICEBERG lettuce, I'll be back, and NOT before!
Not a fan of Olive Garden. To me the sauces are bland, the pasta is overcooked, the salad is horrid, and the bread sticks taste like they have been frozen. I prefer local places to chains for the most part. There are a plethora of places nearby with better pasta for less dough.
Kind of a misleading title, I expected a video of someone ordering more and more breadsticks until getting kicked out of Olive Garden.
I remember getting the all you can eat pasta at my local olive garden in high school. They wouldn't tell me what the record at that location was until I was done, so I kept pushing through. At 13 bowls, I was told I fell 1 bowl short of beating the record. If only I hadn't also eaten breadsticks I could have managed it darn it!
Shout out to Katina eats Kilos!!!!!!
Most millennials have good memories attached to olive garden
Olive Garden wasn't as bad as people used to insist it was. Then Covid happened and now it's actually a little worse than the wild exaggerations you used to hear.
I was there, at Olive Gardens grand opening. I was in the hallway near the bathrrom screaming "Mary had a little lamb" while smearing my feces all lver the walls!!! The staff loved it, and let me stay to be a cook. PS I didn't wash my hands.
Wait a minute here, the gal in a red and black checkerd shirt is Katina from her "Katina Eats Kilos" tube channel also with Randy Santel… Hmmmm….
When we were growing up it was a big deal to go to the OG.
Iโm nearly certain everything at OG is microwaved.
Are we the only ones who think Olive Garden is a sub-par, awful quality, overpriced, nice-looking place that serves crappy food? I mean, their main thing is pasta, and always it is overcooked and bland. Sauces are heavy and too sweet, and the whole ordeal is overpriced to the max, considering youโre buying not-even-homemade pasta! The atmosphere is lovely, but man! Even the soups taste like they came from a can ( WHY is the minestrone so flippin heavy on pasta/carbs/fat ? Crying out loud, I just want a cup, not 2 days worth of calories!) itโs not tasty or anything that wonโt lead to bellyache. I get that many of you have fond memories from this place, but I for one am feeling vindicated knowing this chain was another corporate ugly. It always tasted so to us here. Plz donโt hate me for speaking our truth- you do you, but if you agree with us, donโt be afraid to say it, either!
Olive Garden is the whitest restaurant chain in America
i love olive gardens food. their prices i dont love. they are way to expensive and known insider information the food is not cooked home made. its heated up and a ingredient or two is added so people think its home made. if you get your food to go order off the kids menu,its way cheaper and you can get some of the same stuff served on the adult menu and its almost the same amount. many of the grocery stores including the store dollar general and aldies sells the salad dressing from olive garden way cheaper than buying from the restaurant . so you can order a kids meal and then go home and make your own salad for way way cheaper. i get the kids Alfredo meal, it comes with Alfredo noodles, i ad grilled chicken to it and it comes with a side and drink for around 9.00 plus tax. the same adult meal would be over 20.00. you have to get it to go though or they wont serve you a kids meal in the restaurant.
As an employee there we do the one per person plus one to keep them from going stale and wasting them. If we bring out a ton they get hard and people ask for fresh ones. Weโve always had that ratio as long as Iโve worked there since 2015. Itโs completely unlimited itโs just to make sure weโre not being wasteful
