"People can't eat that much bread."
Midgarmerc
Wait hold on. He went on a date with him "last night" and it's phrased like the first but by the end of the story they're married?
ZedaZ80
Elsewhere in the comments is information that it is a literary reference.

Still a better love story than Twilight

Waaaaay better

This is a great Q&A +1

That's a classic ending there.

Married him right after the date, or in the morning?
SillyZombie
... I've eaten there.
FinneganBojangles
Never understand people who come all the way to NYC, which has great good everywhere, and choose to eat at fucking Olive Garden.
kendalfromdimensionC132
I currently bartend at the olive garden in grapevine tx. Shits all real. Thanks for the laugh

Red lobster cheddar biscuits are better. Olive Garden bread sticks are like the dime a dozen whore's cheddar biscuits are the exotic ones.
PirateFroglet
Yes. I agree completely. But Red Lobster doesn't offer unlimited soup to go with them.
KMStory
I used to work with Joe!
ZOMGNO
Was he married? Did they do it at an Olive Garden? WAS THIS ALL A LIE?
KMStory
He wasn't married, but I last saw him five years ago. He was hilarious and a great writer, though.
ZOMGNO
Neat! Thanks for the answer!

First post: "I went on a date last night..." - Last post: "I married him". All posts dated Apr 19. Moving kind of fast in that relationship.

As an Irish man, The fuck is an Olive Garden?
GreenYawgmoth
Take a frozen dinner from Tesco, put it on a plate, microwave it, and charge $20. That is Olive Garden.

I did not know what Olive Garden was before this post.

We dont have it in australia so its kind of mysterious for me honestly.

It's basically what people that have never actually been to an Italian restaurant before thinks Italian food is.
WhatAnAbsoluteCasual
Spaghetti, lasagne and pizza?
Lexicana
I've worked the restaurant industry for my whole worling life (including olive garden) people really loose their shit when there is no 1/2
Lexicana
More free food available for them. People are rude and get really mean about it. And treat you horribly like it's your fault.
SpikeTheGoat
Yeah, it tends to be like that in sales regardless of what the product is. Item on sale sold out?No discount bc it was the wrong ad? ANGRY!

I hate olives. They're fucken disgusting
MateriaCaelestis
I suppose they ended up giving breadsticks to each other. Keepin’ it within the family
ISayFuckAllTheTime
Married him...after that date LAST FUCKING NIGHT? Fellas, if you're forever alone, go get a job at the fucking time square olive garden!
ReginaKasteen
In college my brother + friends would hang out at Village Inn for 6+ hours doing group projects and such. Better atmosphere than their dorm.
ReginaKasteen
Granted that wasn't a 3x-priced Olive Garden, but I guess in NYC you adapt to that sort of thing.
Wr200m
A three story olive garden. In time Square. The most American thing ever.
EnJnY
It really is. Right next to the M&M store too...so many M&Ms
dorkowastaken
I ate there in H.S. with a group of 20 on a saturday night. The hostess' eyes almost popped out of her head when I told her
dorkowastaken
4 of us got unlim. Pasta and breadsticks. They told us they ran out of bread sticks after only a few baskets. We believed them.
dorkowastaken
Something happened though where they messed up our order and the server apologized and asked if there was anything they could do to fix it.
dorkowastaken
I politely asked if there was a chance we could get more breadsticks and we got them! We were happy to get more, but pissed they lied to us.

Yeah, but it seemed like it was just easier to name them at that point as Question guy + Answer guy, even though it was more convo than Q&A.

So was he live tweeting this entire conversation, taking notes, or what?

As I’m reading this I’m thinking “I hope they’re still together.” Great story.

"Did he give them breadsticks?" Comment of the day, right there. Signing off the internet today. Not getting better than that.
McJakenBerry
Wait so he went on the date "last night" and married him... The next day??
AdmJota
What? Why would they wait for the next day?
imadethiswheniwastooyoungshootme
I think "reader, I married him" is a literary reference

Correct. Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë.

Thank you for being cultured so the rest of us don't have to be

Tbh I don't think people could eat that many breadsticks, I've had a binge eating problem for like 4 years and even I couldn't stay 1/
museofheart
8 hours eating breadsticks, especially considering that things like bread swell in your stomach, personally that results in vomiting a 2/
redfeather1
I know a 5ft 11in girl who is about 135 pounds that can eat pizza at a Cici's pizza for 6 hours. NON STOP!! She just kept eating it.
redfeather1
We were there for a school function and the bus broke down... And it was HORRIBLY storming. They loved us being there. End Pt 2
redfeather1
They even made a lot of special stuff for us. Lunch then dinner. But this girl, she just kept eating the pizzas the entire time. end pt 3
redfeather1
She may have been purging when she went to the BR, but when we dated later, she had no eating disorder. She just loved pizza. even Cicis.
snaccident
^^ I used to work at OG and during the endless pasta bowl promotion people would stay for hours eating pasta then vomit in the parking lot.

Carby mass, which ain't ideal for a family restaurant. I guess if you paced yourself you might but who knows I'm British not American.

Here is a good poop story. One time I didn't poop for a month and when I finally squeezed out the biggest shit I've ever seen it was 1/2

really painful but the sweet sweet relief afterwords was totally worth the effort plus you know I didn't die.

When I was normal weight with a hyperthyroid, I could eat more bread than you've seen in the past year.
LetumComplexo
When I was going through puberty I’d scarf down a loaf of bread a day, like 5 days a week. Didn’t know at the time but that was the best.

One of my first jobs was at an Olive Garden. Total den of debauchery. Plus all the food is shipped from Florida frozen. Yuck

Honey all restaurants are full of debauchery. If the chef ain't high on coke you're in a shit establishment.
ILikeCuteGifsAndICannotLie
This was off the scale compared to the many other places I waited tables.

Only way to get consistency

Constancy, sweet constancy
Jagernot
Outback Steakhouse only gets frozen vegetables and Lamb (from New Zealand) Everything else is "fresh". Worked at one for 10 years.
Davincimode
Except the burgers, salads and ice tea. everything else ... maybe. yes even the sodas (That was bullshit, the soda part I mean)
OrangePanic
I want to hear about the debauchery
redfeather1
Used to date a girl that had worked there. Pasta bondage games and drunken sex all over.
ILikeCuteGifsAndICannotLie
I think it’s in the employee handbook. I’ve worked in quite a few places and OG was by far the craziest.
ILikeCuteGifsAndICannotLie
So much sex and drugs. In the bathrooms, in the manager's office, late night parties. I was 18 and aged 10 years the year I was there.
clutchthepearls
It's like any restaurant. Everyone is high and fucks eachother.

I worked in restaurants for ten years. NOTHING came close to this place.

Happens when you combine overworked people with alcohol. So restaurants aren't the only situations. They may be the most widely known.
Lexicana
And in bags. That they defrost in giant boilers.
Assthrasher2000
Does that mean its not shipped frozen here since I live in Florida? I am asking for a friend.
ConsistentlyLateCommenter
They ship it to Minnesota so that they can freeze it and then ship it to you frozen.
ILikeCuteGifsAndICannotLie
It all leaves a distribution center in the same form so I think it probably is.

ILikeCuteGifsAndICannotLie
It was a LONG time ago. Guess they could have changed if that helps.
ojp1977
Yeah, them and Red Lobster are all owned by the same group, they've let the food standards drop, and now both chains are on life support
ILikeCuteGifsAndICannotLie
I used to ask for a gift card to Red Lobster for Christmas.After last year I will never eat there again.It was disgusting, even the biscuits
zamielvanweber
Red Lobster was fine, but recently its become awful. The alfredo sauce was clearly reheated in a microwave. Local Olive Garden is (1)

still nice. Honestly I eat a lot at Perkins (to the point where I have a usual table). Close, 24 hours, solid late night deals. It is (2)

clearly the best option for lazy late night dining. (3)
ojp1977
Understood and agreed; I loved Red Lobster when I was a kid, at some point the food got nasty and I stopped going.
ILikeCuteGifsAndICannotLie
We would go once a year because it's a ways from my house and always had such a long wait. I couldn't believe how bad it got after one year.
ConfessionBare
They make the soups in house daily, I believe.
Lexicana
You believe wrong. Worked there. Everything is shipped in bags and then defrosted.
IAmTheToastyOhs
What? I worked at an Olive Garden, they made soups every single morning. We would put them in big chill tanks for use during the day.
GasBandit
I worked at Olive Garden in high school. SO MUCH METH in ALL THE MANAGERS.
ILikeCuteGifsAndICannotLie
It was the early 90s so they were all on coke.
GasBandit
Heh, late 90s for me, so people still called it by the full "Crystal Meth"
ILikeCuteGifsAndICannotLie
Oh the 90s. I miss the the 90s.

Clearly they were the cultural zenith of America, and therefor the human race as a whole.

better than in the breadsticks I guess

Methsticks coming soon to an Olive Garden near you!
Badsequence
So then there was a meth to their madness!
DreadPierateRoberts
even the pasta? its not cooked on site/
IAmTheToastyOhs
Pasta comes in dry, in boxes. They cook it till just under done and then portion and chill it. Then the line cooks finish it off in pans.
ILikeCuteGifsAndICannotLie
That was the one thing they made there. They had a lady in a cage in the lobby making it all day.
ILikeCuteGifsAndICannotLie
That was just the noodles though. Not ravioli, etc.
originalsins
Current worker, it's not made fresh.
DreadPierateRoberts
Is it least cooked there?
originalsins
Yes. It's in bags uncooked. Just not made homeade.
PhantomGeek
That Alfredo sauce is from a bag, ain't it? The breadsticks frozen too? I'm just crushed
IAmTheToastyOhs
Alfredo is done in house in huge kettles from fresh ingredients. Bread sticks come in nearly done and are finished in convection ovens.
PhantomGeek
That's a lot of sauce at once, only Popeye or Thor can stir it, eh? What about the salads? LOL good times.
IAmTheToastyOhs
Big ass spatulas. I worked the salad station at times, it was bag salad mix like you can buy at the store with romaine added + toppings.

Worked there, and watched it all happen. Trust me when I say NOTHING is "fresh"
clutchthepearls
I worked there for four years. There's a quite a few things that are made in house.
handparty
Is the alfredo sauce made in house? When I make it at home it does not keep, oils separate quickly so I always assumed it was.
Drzhivago138
Near me there's a little town that wants to build a shrimp farm. No, really. First in the US.
AresTechnomancer
I mean if they can do it, more power to them.
Drzhivago138
They've got the land and everything. And apparently most shrimp is farmed with slave labor in SE Asia right now, so this'll be a step up.
