I always thought this too until I had the opportunity to go into an Olive Garden kitchen.

The chef back there was very, very proud of the work they put into the food there. Almost everything is hand made. It was really nice to see.

You mean he actually boiled the pasta and tossed the salad?

I'm exaggerating but when you think about the things that Olive Garden are known for (unlimited bread sticks, and their soup and salad deals), they're all essentially premade. I don't know many people who go there for the steak, for example.

Prep-cooks aren't a new thing.

Steak is basic cooking, lol. It's literally one ingredient and some seasoning.

[-] Sharpiemarker@startrek.website 1 points 2 years ago

I'm sure that's why steakhouses are selling them so cheaply.

[-] Vent@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

It tastes good and good cuts of steak are expensive. Just because it's a little pricey doesn't mean it's difficult to prepare. High-end restaurants will happily sell you caviar for hundreds of dollars, but it's not exactly difficult to put on a plate.

I was not expecting this.

Olive garden is always a great experience for me. Never had the impression that the food was microwaved. Probably best not to pay a meme that much attention

Ok, just said this to my wife and she cracked up.

Chef Mike! Always coming in clutch for so many people 🥲

[-] PopcornPrincess@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

What a coincidence my in-home chef looks just like him! And get this: his name is also Mike!

[-] lledrtx@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago
