    I don't care much for chain restaurants and hadn't been to an Olive
    Garden in at least 10 years. Our experience last weekend at the one
    next to our hotel in Huntsville was pretty good. The food was good,
    the server was excellent. I ordered the minestrone as a substitute
    because I don't like salads. John had salad and their stuffed
    chicken marsala with garlic mashed potatoes. I had crab and shrimp
    ravioli. Darned tasty stuff.

    I like their salad and their soups are better than the norm HOWEVER
    their menu names make me NUTS:

    There is no such thing as Chicken Scampi or Shrimp Alfredo or Chicken
    Alfredo, or Alfredo Sauce.

    It just popularizes misinformation.

    Hmmmm, guess I'll make Alfredo Sauce to go with some angel hair pasta... on
    second thought (!) maybe just a bechamel with grated Parmesan cheese.

    Peccorino Romano is better. Get the imported stuff.

    <shrug> Not me. I prefer Parmesana Reggiano (sp?) to any form of
    Romano.

    Cyndi

    I will take either!
