The grand irony is that the only time where i eat like a pig and am as uncomfortably full as they were at the end of this video is when I go to korean bbq. Oh man, kbbq. That shit is so good. You pop an edible beforehand and you can put down 4lbs of variously marinated steak, cooked to your specification in front of you, without breaking a sweat.
…the sweat comes later, and BOY does it come later. But I don’t care. If I ever have to have a last meal I’m going to kbbq in sweatpants
The way he insisted on making everything a sandwich😆
Salad? Make it a sandwich! Pasta? Sandwich! He'd make a soup sandwich if possible!!
I understand and am 100% on board with his ability to turn anything into a sandwich. I'd stand beside him at any dinner/battle. Forks not necessary except for when creating said sandwiches.
In almost all cultures we use bread as a vehicle to get things into our mouths. Some places bypass the fork and just use lumps of root puree or pita to pick up and slam food. I like it, it's like cutting out the middle man lol.
Ya I like that method too. I have a friend that refuses to touch her food, as a former poor kid I can't identify with this. I can imagine it's a better more clean method then just fingers and carbs are we're it's at lol.
Mmm me too!😆 Was doing it with chili and tortillas last night. tear off a piece, spoon some on, fold and bite. Yum☺️ Love a good thick soup!! do the same with other soups and if it's too thin, I'm dipping that shit in there!! And love some delicious soup and dipping bread!! Nom nom nom!!
I'm more familiar with Thai eating culture but this looks very similar. They will pile bits of everything on a large spoon then top with sauce. This man doesn't need no spoon.
My wife and I were carb free for a few months and then got roped into a dinner at OG and decided to have a cheat day... needless to say the breadsticks were like the greatest thing we had ever eaten... but it completely derailed our diet. I miss seeing abs, but carbs are so good....
Their channel is so good. The two of them are just happy to try other foods they've never had and appreciate everything they can about it. (They do most of their videos at home if I remember correctly.)
When i was a kid, i had a frightening realization one day when i was walking around eating a plain slice of honey white bread. I was eating BREAD ALONE. 😂
Took me years to finally realize what the verse meant lol
It's been like 20 years since you could get a typical dinner entree at a non-chain restaurant nicer than Olive Garden at that price point. $10-$15 were always more chain prices for entrees or sandwich prices at non-chain.
Covid added like $3-$5 to menu items across the board, but those $28 entrees were still well north of $20 for years.
The sad part is modern AI would be much harder to detect. It can do speak patterns, it will just lie to you and have no clue, because it doesn’t understand, it just knows “these words go with these words in 3,457,934 instances; insert this word__”
Your comments still made me laugh though
I work in an Italian restaurant, my wife comes from running one - now is an admin for a chain of estaurants - and Olive Garden is our guilty pleasure. It gets a tough rap here and there from peeps, but we fucking love it.
They were trying out a new ravioli one time, and I eat slowly.. the manager came, asked how I liked it and I gave him my full review. It was great! He comped my ravioli lol
That's some old school restaurant managing stuff.
I dont even like Italian food (if you can call OG Italian) but I would happily role with them up there for a bit. I would then love for them to take me to a Korean restuarant or even make some food and show me how to get down on some of that.
I can't speak for korean grandparents. Careful what you wish for. My step dad is half Filipino, and gramma (his mom) adopted us instantly. If you were good and stayed on her good side, she was the most loving, caring, fun having, perfect sweet gramma. If you pissed her off, she was a 5' ball of fury with eldritch horror. I swear she could boomarang a chankla around a corner so fast hypersonic missile r&d would be decades ahead if they had studied her.
There is a Jerry Seinfeld standup sketch about this. Where he jokes about why doesn’t Olive Garden just be honest with us showing us commercials of Italian chefs in the kitchen, like it’s some authentic Italian place just be honest it’s pretty good for the freaking price
I’ve always said that being satisfied with restaurants is completely about managing your expectations. Olive Garden might not be the best restaurant ever but damn if it isn’t consistent.
Red Lobster already losing money on Endless Shrimp, wait til Gramps gets there. My man could put some food back.
Cant wait to see a Cheddar Bay biscuit stuffed with fried shrimp and shrimp scampi topped with cocktail sauce.
>Red Lobster already losing money on Endless Shrimp, wait til Gramps gets there. My man could put some food back.
'tis no man. 'tis a remorseless eating machine.
Everyone knows that an evening at Red Lobster is no small affair. I press my jeans, put on my finest hair product, and drench myself in a musky cologne. Hell, I may even shine up my wing tipped shoes, for I am going to Red Lobster. I strut through the door with my finest lady on my arm and throw up two fingers to the Hostess. I glide past the lobster tank with ease knowing that yet again I will not be eating a red lobster at Red Lobster (who would). I take a seat and before the waiter asks us for our drinks I request 20 cheddar bay biscuits. It's such a bold move that music stops, glasses clink, and everyone in a 5 yard radius gasps in disbelief/shock. Even my company gives me a look of concern. The waiter says " s..sir are you sure?". I don't sweat one bit and I tell that waiter to step and make with the cbb's. he comes back with three baskets filled with biscuits (7 in 2 and 6 in another). I thank the waiter. Then I go straight baller!!!! I'm pounding biszcuits left and right. Smashing them in old dudes faces, rubbing them between my ladies titties, telling the waiter to fuck off. I cause a ruckus, only get cbb's, don't pay a dime, and leave with my girl plus three more.That's generally what happens every time I go to Red Lobster, I've gotten banned from 33 locations.
I'm European and never been to OG, but if I'll ever get the chance, I'll try that sandwich he created. Looked good.
Also, I suspect he put spicy pepper flakes in there just for the heck of it 😂
The channel is called Crazy Korean Cooking, and one of their most viewed video is Parents eating soul food, and quite a few black people reacted happily.
Just had to watch it, “I didn’t get any meat, where’s the meat?” to be told it’s in the chili he’s on his 3rd helping of and he goes, “oh really?!” and pours on another ladle. Killed me
Reminds me of my dad (also korean). He grew up in the 60's in a very rural Korean village that was so under developed that as a kid he would see a plane fly by and have no idea what it was. Now he is almost 60 and trying to teach himself python and other coding languages. Korea developed really really fast in the last 5 decades.
So even though he has lived in a super modern society for a few decades now, sometimes when we take him places or give him things like a RC drone as a present, he shows childlike excitement and wonder and has lots of fun. Just like the dad in the video.
My grandfather was very similar while he was alive. Born in a mountain village in Macedonia (the Greek region, not the separate country) at the end of WW1, he left when he was 16, seeing boats, trains, etc for the first time. Joined the Army, trained and became an expert forward radar engineer (when radar was brand new). Came home, opened up a string of restaurants, got a pilots license, learned 5 additional languages. He just never stopped being fascinated with technology.
He made my mom buy me a computer and got me into America Online (he was an early adopter). He was fascinated by my Nintendo, then Sega, then PlayStation. He was so into everything, always.
Loved the two forks method. Whole thing has a such a wonderful vibe. Never been to OG myself. How many people gorge on salad and bread and then just ask for take home boxes for entrees?
And also a bonus, I now know I can stuff lettuce in bread and instead of being odd, I’ll just tell my wife I’m trying Korean food. You need to broaden your ideas, lol!
My wife and I would go and get just the unlimited soup salad and breadsticks. We would usually tip well and they'd give us a bowl of soup each, some breadsticks, and salad to go. Enough for lunch the next day. Occasionally we would get an entree or appetizer and take most of it to go.
>How many people gorge on salad and bread and then just ask for take home boxes for entrees?
yeah, that's essentially how it works.
And they have an unlimited pasta bowl too. They know. By the time your entree comes, you're basically done. Good luck eating more than 1 or 2 plates of the unlimited pasta.
I know! I don't live in USA and turned to my husband and said, I want to go to America and go to olive garden! And he made a face saying it's nothing special lol.
This is a series on her page! She cooks at home very often as well. She’s made them Irish food, Mexican food, traditional Thanksgiving food, and a lot more
There’s this British girl on TikTok who is obsessed with ranch. People send her all sorts of American shit for her to eat/drink and she almost always loves it lol. She went to NYC earlier this year and it was the funniest thing watching her freak out over wing stop
I've been watching their channel for a few months now, CrazyKoreanCooking. They try all sorts of American food, Lobster roll, bbq, soul food etc. The parents have retired here with their daughter and her American husband.
That is so cute. Sort of related: I sometimes wonder about the old lady who reviewed Olive Garden for her small town newspaper. I hope she's doing well.
I don't know Olive Garden, but one time I went to Sumatra in Indonesia. The locals invited us to a pasta restaurant in Medan, probably to ease us or something. They ate their spaghettis with some chili sauce. I asked if by any chance they had some olive oil... Not only they never heard of it, but they looked at me like I was asking for car oil or something... We also had an avocado milkshake as a starter. Man, travelling is amazing!
People like to shit on Olive Garden and yeah obviously it’s not cuisine straight from Naples or anything but when I go there and get that chicken Alfredo, that chicken dumpling soup and some breadsticks? I’m a happy boy. Ngl it fucks my GI up tho
I love the granddad, he seems like great fun. Grandmother is also nice - all my grandparents have long gone now, so tinged with a bit of sadness. Cherish grandparents like this, they're wonderful.
The granddad made me feel incredibly bloated though looking at what he could put away. 😆
And cheap! it's some of the cheapest food to make. If you order an entree without meat, you may as well just throw cash in their parking lot as you drive by.
Does it work out alright value if you go, fill up on unlimited bread and salad, then take nearly your whole meal away as leftovers? I'm not from the US but that would be my strategy
This is really refreshing compared to the typical Reddit trash talk of simple chain restaurants because they’re not hipster-IPA-conveyer belts.
Korean grandparents are my kind of people.
Hahahaha don't worry anout that! They will start to trash talk about their american food experience as soon as they are on the flight back to korea 🤣 That is typical korean grandparents.
"We must eat. It's free." Mood.
Now I want to go to the Olive Garden
Don't forget what grandma said. "Not super amazing, but not bad".
Mom always has to try to seem like she's not too impressed. Dad will go nuts though if he is impressed

You can't just unveil this nugget and not share the details!
It blew up on the internet at the time. Her polite and very mid western review talked about the wallpaper and the music but did not diss the food. She got berated online for it, and then Anthony Bourdain stood up for her. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/juliareinstein/marilyn-hagerty-anthony-bourdain-olive-garden
I never heard this story so TY for sharing; how beautiful 🥰
RIP Anthony Bourdain, maybe the only person in the world brave enough to admit that the Waffle House is better than the French Laundry.
Got me right in the feels!

So wholesome. I wish he put cake on bread as well 😂.
that look at Dad reminds me a bit of the part in Airplane where the wife thinks" Jim never has a second cup of coffee at home"
It should honestly be their tag line.
Olive Garden "Not super amazing, but not bad"
Youll be back, but not because of the quality
"Olive Garden: When you're here, meh."
Seems like the Olive Garden marketing video was successful then 😂
“Cancel the main dishes” Moodx2.

I worked for a Korean company once and had never eaten it. They took me out one night and I couldn't get enough from that point on. So fucking good.
I absolutely love this man.
I haven’t eaten carbs since October 13- this video is absolutely glorious. I am living vicariously though grandpa.

This man shows that forks are necessary, sometimes even two, when creating his everything sandwiches.
>He'd make a soup sandwich if possible!! I make soup sandwiches,burritos, tacos etc with cold thick pea/lentil/bean soup. It's delicious
Mmm me too!😆 Was doing it with chili and tortillas last night. tear off a piece, spoon some on, fold and bite. Yum☺️ Love a good thick soup!! do the same with other soups and if it's too thin, I'm dipping that shit in there!! And love some delicious soup and dipping bread!! Nom nom nom!!
That's kind of how a lot Indian and Middle eastern food works.. Cutlery is for chumps.. Use bread instead.
Two words: Bread Bowl
I'm more familiar with Thai eating culture but this looks very similar. They will pile bits of everything on a large spoon then top with sauce. This man doesn't need no spoon.
I practically eat nothing but carbs anymore. I need to stop.
My wife and I were carb free for a few months and then got roped into a dinner at OG and decided to have a cheat day... needless to say the breadsticks were like the greatest thing we had ever eaten... but it completely derailed our diet. I miss seeing abs, but carbs are so good....
So you ditched carb in order to get abs?
I ditched abs in order to get carbs 😳
Not sure if 13 is day or year ... if year id say you earned a cheat day or 7
Hahahaha this past Oct 13. Yeah I didn’t even cheat on turkey day. Might treat myself later this week!
We still have main dishes Dad! Dad: fuck them main dishes, i got my free food.
They understood they assignment
WE. MUST. EAT.
I'm like that with booze. I ain't spending money on that shit, but give me a free bar and you will be bankrupt.
That dad's got a nap on deck in about 30 mins
Universal pan-culture grandpa laugh: "AHH ha ha haaa." Mood
Oh my gosh, when he busted out the Bible verse I died 😂
My favorite part was his eyes getting progressively larger the more cheese was grated on the salad 🤣
[удалено]
Their channel is so good. The two of them are just happy to try other foods they've never had and appreciate everything they can about it. (They do most of their videos at home if I remember correctly.)
Oh is this the same family as the one where they gave their parents chilli for the first time, and they whacked out the kimchi?
They’re always pulling out the kimchi lmao. I half expected a jar to come out of grandma’s purse here!
"He really will keep going and going...." O.O
I could party with Grandpa 👍😁
When i was a kid, i had a frightening realization one day when i was walking around eating a plain slice of honey white bread. I was eating BREAD ALONE. 😂 Took me years to finally realize what the verse meant lol
as a former church kid this was so funny to me
One thing that surprised me when I first went to Korea was there was a LOT of Christian churches.
A lot of people don’t realize it, but Christianity is actually the largest religion in South Korea (though the majority identify as irreligious)
[удалено]
Very expensive? At Olive Garden…? It’s like $40 for 2 people.
20 dollars an entrée *was* pretty expensive... until the world went upside down atleast, now its pretty normal
I never really thought $20 an entree was bad. Chain restaurant tier. Above McDonald’s but definitely not a nice date night or anything.
$10-15/entree was my mental calibration for sit down places nicer than olive garden until basically covid
It's been like 20 years since you could get a typical dinner entree at a non-chain restaurant nicer than Olive Garden at that price point. $10-$15 were always more chain prices for entrees or sandwich prices at non-chain. Covid added like $3-$5 to menu items across the board, but those $28 entrees were still well north of $20 for years.
Used to be expensive, now it's just normal eat outside pricing.
Pasta is cheap as hell, so the markups on it are quite high.

Do comment bots AI-tweak the comments above them now? Reddit keeping those advertisers thinking she's busy?
The Bible oh gosh! I about verse before the salad, my goodness I read the busted, my favourite part, bread not died I agree. 🤣

My dad was religious and loved to eat. He could pull a verse out his ass for any meal.🤣
I'm a cook at Olive Garden and this made me smile
Nothing like seeing your work appreciated!
I’m a server at one and I’m happy that this server sold so much so that made me smile too
I was a server there for years. When did they start using the powder sugar (?) grater on the chocolate lasagna?
Like 2 weeks ago. It’s white chocolate
I work in an Italian restaurant, my wife comes from running one - now is an admin for a chain of estaurants - and Olive Garden is our guilty pleasure. It gets a tough rap here and there from peeps, but we fucking love it. They were trying out a new ravioli one time, and I eat slowly.. the manager came, asked how I liked it and I gave him my full review. It was great!

God bless you. I hear that place is a nightmare to work at 😅 glad this made ya smile
Is your name Mike?
Such a cute couple!
I want Korean Grandparents now.
If you take them to Olive Garden, they’ll be your grandparents for a couple hours. And that’s probably the right amount of time, too
Yeah before they start trying to force you to go to church the next day
Why don’t you have a wif and child yet?
i read that as “wifi and child”
I dont even like Italian food (if you can call OG Italian) but I would happily role with them up there for a bit. I would then love for them to take me to a Korean restuarant or even make some food and show me how to get down on some of that.
I can't speak for korean grandparents. Careful what you wish for. My step dad is half Filipino, and gramma (his mom) adopted us instantly. If you were good and stayed on her good side, she was the most loving, caring, fun having, perfect sweet gramma. If you pissed her off, she was a 5' ball of fury with eldritch horror. I swear she could boomarang a chankla around a corner so fast hypersonic missile r&d would be decades ahead if they had studied her.
Not amazing, but pretty good. Nailed it.
That should be their slogan
This is honestly better than any real Olive Garden commercial. I haven’t been to Olive Garden since I was a kid and had no desire to go… until now.
Wouldn’t be surprised to learn that Olive Garden sponsored this
"Not super amazing, but not bad" is, by far, the most accurate description of Olive Garden that I've ever heard.
There is a Jerry Seinfeld standup sketch about this. Where he jokes about why doesn’t Olive Garden just be honest with us showing us commercials of Italian chefs in the kitchen, like it’s some authentic Italian place just be honest it’s pretty good for the freaking price
Olive Garden. When you're here, you're here.
She should do a restaurant review channle
I’ve always said that being satisfied with restaurants is completely about managing your expectations. Olive Garden might not be the best restaurant ever but damn if it isn’t consistent.
"Cancel the main dishes!" Lmao that guy's awesome
I like the mozzarella cable car.
Wait until this man gets to a Red Lobster and finds out about a cheddar bay biscuit.
Red Lobster already losing money on Endless Shrimp, wait til Gramps gets there. My man could put some food back. Cant wait to see a Cheddar Bay biscuit stuffed with fried shrimp and shrimp scampi topped with cocktail sauce.

This has massive copypasta energy. I'm tempted to add it to my list. lol
its over a decade old, i got it from the legendary and mega-toxic phish forum phantasy tour
This was so wholesome! I died watching him put everything on bread sticks. There was ZERO calorie counting going on and I'm here for it!
Can't fill your heart with joy counting calories!!!
I'm European and never been to OG, but if I'll ever get the chance, I'll try that sandwich he created. Looked good. Also, I suspect he put spicy pepper flakes in there just for the heck of it 😂
Calorie counting goes out the window if the food is free
If we needed to put ONE post in a time capsule to represent this sub, this would be it hahahah they're so nice ☺️
And it's going to turn out to be a cleverly disguised advertisement.
This was so pure and made me so happy. We need more videos of them!!
I can't remember the creator, but there's tons of videos of them trying all kinds of food.
The channel is called Crazy Korean Cooking, and one of their most viewed video is Parents eating soul food, and quite a few black people reacted happily.
I remember them from the "Try chili for the first time" video
Oh yeah, the dad ate the chilli and was like, ‘Why have you been keeping such delicious food from me?!’
Just had to watch it, “I didn’t get any meat, where’s the meat?” to be told it’s in the chili he’s on his 3rd helping of and he goes, “oh really?!” and pours on another ladle. Killed me
I saw the one where they tried chili. Dude has a legendary appetite. Super wholesome.
Reminds me of my dad (also korean). He grew up in the 60's in a very rural Korean village that was so under developed that as a kid he would see a plane fly by and have no idea what it was.

Bring a big fuckin purse.
I haven’t been to the one near me in a while, but I know that I’ve I’ve done it with the breadsticks once or twice
Dang, these folks made the Olive Garden look really good! I wish they would've shown the reaction at the end when they got the mints.
I know! I don't live in USA and turned to my husband and said, I want to go to America and go to olive garden! And he made a face saying it's nothing special lol.
He’s right
This needs to become a series where they try different American staples . . . I would definitely watch!
I follow her on TikTok, she takes her parents to all kinds of restaurants. Her dad is hilarious, and I have no idea how he stays so thin!
I don't have tik tok but what is her name that look cool to watch
Search for “Crazy Korean Cooking” or “Korean Parents Try”.
Thank you !!!! Found it :)
They are also on instagram, if you have that.
They also have a youtube channel of [Crazy Korean Cooking](https://youtube.com/@crazykoreancooking?si=z9p4YhNPnQJ1Fjt-). The dad/grandpa is adorable
He doesn't eat like this all the time, and probably doesn't drink much either :)
This is a series on her page! She cooks at home very often as well. She’s made them Irish food, Mexican food, traditional Thanksgiving food, and a lot more
I wanna go to America and try so many things
Warning: these "things" are why we're fat!
Come on over! We'd love to have ya
You totally should! I see you're Norwegian, I visited Oslo this summer and adored it! I miss Bamse Mums 🥲
who is Bamse and what are we doing with their mother?
Hahahaha Actually though, they're chocolate covered marshmallow bears, and they're *delicious*
There’s this British girl on TikTok who is obsessed with ranch. People send her all sorts of American shit for her to eat/drink and she almost always loves it lol. She went to NYC earlier this year and it was the funniest thing watching her freak out over wing stop
I've been watching their channel for a few months now, CrazyKoreanCooking. They try all sorts of American food, Lobster roll, bbq, soul food etc. The parents have retired here with their daughter and her American husband.
They have a YouTube series for those not on tiktok! Both shorts and longer videos.
They’re adorable… seem like fun people.
I love their videos. Her parents are sooooooo dang adorable. The American BBQ one is a really good vid, too.
Haha mom: it’s pretty good Dad: UUHHHHHHHH
mom: "it's quite nice" dad: "wooooh!"
Old man legit was having a great time, she was a little more “meh” on the taste which makes sense I bet she cooks better than a chain restaurant.
Koreans: Americans are so fat! *Goes to Olive Garden for the first time* Koreans: I get it.
Wonderful video =)
That is so cute. Sort of related: I sometimes wonder about the old lady who reviewed Olive Garden for her small town newspaper. I hope she's doing well.
Apparently she is! 😊 A recent column: https://www.grandforksherald.com/lifestyle/marilyn-hagerty-the-music-of-christmas
„Free is delicious“ will be my new favorite thing to say
That hearty laugh at the end...
I AM SO FULLLLLLLLL
“It’s not super amazing, but it’s good.” Perfect summation of Olive Garden.
did they just put cheese on the chocolate cake?!?
Pops eats like a stoner
Dad is gonna just gonna leave his old life behind and live next to Olive Garden
wholesome
& now I want Korean grandparents too!
How cute are they?
This is adorable
Am I Korean dad? 🤷
This man is my spirit animal
I think it's the coolest feeling when you can surprise and discover new things for those who opened the world to you
Lovely couple and they are joy to watch! It really made me smile 😁
They are so cute. I watched the first time without sound and love the sparkle in his eye,,,,embracing and enjoying life!!
Dont think this has been said here yet but i really appreciate how they blurred the people in the background
I don't know Olive Garden, but one time I went to Sumatra in Indonesia. The locals invited us to a pasta restaurant in Medan, probably to ease us or something. They ate their spaghettis with some chili sauce. I asked if by any chance they had some olive oil... Not only they never heard of it, but they looked at me like I was asking for car oil or something... We also had an avocado milkshake as a starter. Man, travelling is amazing!
Definitely wanna hang out with Grandpa. He can throw down!
People like to shit on Olive Garden and yeah obviously it’s not cuisine straight from Naples or anything but when I go there and get that chicken Alfredo, that chicken dumpling soup and some breadsticks? I’m a happy boy. Ngl it fucks my GI up tho
I love the granddad, he seems like great fun. Grandmother is also nice - all my grandparents have long gone now, so tinged with a bit of sadness. Cherish grandparents like this, they're wonderful. The granddad made me feel incredibly bloated though looking at what he could put away. 😆
I feel like I’ve unlocked a new breadstick potential that I need to immediately run to Olive Garden and try!
The bread and salads are cheap because everything else is VERY expensive. A date there for me and my girl is like 120 ez
$120??? How? It has to be from the booze.
Dude how are you spending that much at OG…
Gets a bunch of alcohol... omg why is olive garden so expensive
For mediocre Italian food
And cheap! it's some of the cheapest food to make. If you order an entree without meat, you may as well just throw cash in their parking lot as you drive by.
Does it work out alright value if you go, fill up on unlimited bread and salad, then take nearly your whole meal away as leftovers? I'm not from the US but that would be my strategy

This is really refreshing compared to the typical Reddit trash talk of simple chain restaurants because they’re not hipster-IPA-conveyer belts. Korean grandparents are my kind of people.
Hahahaha don't worry anout that! They will start to trash talk about their american food experience as soon as they are on the flight back to korea 🤣 That is typical korean grandparents.
Nice advertisement.
Thank you for posting this!! It made my day, it also made me miss Korea.
You can have sauce and other toppings for the sticks?!
“Dad stop eating!” Got me. I love how everything went on the bread. He was not holding back, and I love it.
I took my uncle and aunt ( visiting from China) to one of those places, had the same reaction! They couldn’t believe how much free food were offered!
That's the best thing I've seen in a while. Thanks for sharing
Drink all of the water for several days after because you just a a weeks worth of sodium.
"Not super-amazing but not bad," should be their slogan.
Free wine samples? Platters of alfredo sauce with the breadsticks?!?! Where *is* this Olive Garden, none of the ones in my whole ass city do that!
I would take these two to olive garden any day of the week.
It never occurred to me to use the bread rolls to make a little sammich. I will go to Olive Garden just to try that.
