Wow! Did not expect the show to start off with General Mills creating the restaurant.

The food at Olive Garden isn't something that'll wow you, but no matter what Olive Garden I have traveled to, I meet really great people working there. They're either very helpful since I have trouble grasping glasses and silverware (stupid illness) or they'll make sure I don't have to travel far to get to things. Some even go ahead to make sure I can grab the bathroom door. This has been EVERY. Olive Garden. I don't ask for this. This just happens. I don't think this is in their training. It's always just wonderful people.
It makes me comfortable eating at an Olive Garden because that means the food isn't going to make me sick and the staff isn't going to make me feel like I'm a freak in a wheelchair. It's one of my "safe zones" I can eat at. I don't have many of them. We can joke about the place all we want, but in the end... I am just really grateful it exists and continues to thrive.

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. We’ve always had that ratio as long as I’ve worked there since 2015. It’s completely unlimited it’s just to make sure we’re not being wasteful

This man could narrate a documentary on paint drying and I'd listen because he would still find a way to make it entertaining...😊

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!

I have to give a shout out to the waitress at the Olive Garden in Athens, Georgia. I wish I remembered her name. I was going through a hard time, caring for my FIL who was dying of cancer. It was my one night off in seemingly forever.
I guess I looked… well… bad. The waitress sat down across from me and asked if I was okay. I burst into tears. This super kind woman sat and talked to me between every stop at a table. She listened to me cry and talk about this person I loved who was dying.
Her kindness was so appreciated, so unexpected. I’d say they really did make me feel like family, except that my own family was never so kind.

Just enough sass, just enough humor, just enough facts to keep me watching...bravo, you've found the formula.

I just needed to tell you that the Never Ending pasta bowl began in 1995, not in 2012. I went to Olive Garden often with my aunt as a special treat during my childhood. I was positive it began prior to the new millennium, so I looked it up and it began in 95. It appears it went away for a few years in the early 2000s and then returned in 2012

I would really love it if you would do a rise and fall of ponderosa. My mom worked at one when I was a kid and I absolutely loved that place. It was great!!! Ponderosa steak house. One of the greats gone too soon

As a New Zealander who’s never been to an olive garden this story was actually extremely interesting as you always heard about this place from YouTubers etc.

As a Millenial, the only reason I ate anywhere decently during college was the unlimited breadsticks. Go in, get the cheapest item on the menu, and just load up on bread.
Was it healthy? No.
Was it affordable during the worse economic time in America since the Great Depression? Yes.

I was solely responsible for soup salad and breadsticks for 2-3 years at an OG and there were so many times where I was the only person in the restaurant making food as lunches frequently attracted hordes of value seekers.😂😂😂.
I can't believe the amount of people I had to train that just couldn't comprehend how to make a salad to save their lives lol
Handful of lettuce
Sprinkle of onions
2 slices tomato
2 olives
That's it! 😂😂
I saw someone cut themselves on a tomato slicer which still baffles me to this day how someone could pull that off

To me, OG has always been a place for good memories. Me and my daughter went throughout her whole life to get soup, salad and breadsticks w a side of Alfredo sauce to dip. To go w girlfriends to eat and catch up. Family dinners, etc. You don’t go for Michelin star quality, you go for a fun time w loved ones.

Smosh olive garden skit was perfect to use in this video. Ian getting cheese all over his mouth by shayne was top tier comedy.

The endless soup and breadsticks were around before the makeover. Soup, Salad and breadsticks(S/S/B,) all you can eat WAS $4.95 when I started in ‘96

I love the Olive Garden! It's like eating in the kitchen of a delightful Italian stereotype!
Can I just add that it's a tragedy that the combined restaurants folded? The thought of "Unlimited Soup, Salad, and Cheddar Bay Biscuits" got me feelin' a certain way.

I worked for Olive Garden when I was 16 in the mid 80's. We had a professional saucier that would come in weekly to make all the sauces. All our pasta was made in house daily. I came into work after just less than a year to to see all our hand made stuff being thrown in the trash. And everything was boil in bag premade crap after that.
I quit that day.

True story. My best friend and i were hungry around lunch time, and spied the local olive garden. We decided we wanted moderately priced Italian food, and went in. We both ordered, and waited. First bowl of salad and basket of bread sticks arrived. We ate both.
The waitress came back and asked us if we wanted more, and since our entrees had yet to show up, said "yes please."
Ate the second bowl of salad and second basket of bread sticks.
Waitress came back again, and asked us if we wanted more. We asked after our entrees, and were told "not sure, the kitchen is slow today." Asked for more salad and bread sticks.
Ate both again. This time when the waitress came around, we just asked for more bread sticks. Our entrees eventually came, and we ate the bread sticks by dipping them into the marinara sauce. Ended up asking for doggy bags, as we filled up on free salad and bread sticks.
That will teach them to be slow in the kitchen!

My mom used to work at the Olive Garden in the late 1980s… I literally grew up eating Olive Garden almost every day with all the leftover breadsticks, spaghetti, etc. she would bring home every night at the end of her shift.
