Nzoner's Game Room>Red Lobster vs. Olive Garden
Otter 02:39 PM 11-18-2016
So, you're walking down the street minding your own business and I come up behind you (lets pretend I'm 6' 6" 260 and not 5' 9") and get you in a rear naked choke.

I say you have to have dinner with me and I'll take the cuffs off I bound us by the ankles with with my magical extra set of hands if you promise not to have food on lip that makes me uncomfortable and spoils an otherwise fine dining experience.

There are only two options: Red Lobster or Olive Garden. Where do we eat?

Another thing that varies wildly in quality compared to lasagne is pizza.







I was satirizing your snobbishness about lasagne. Seafood is yet another thing that varies 100x as much in quality. Yet in successive posts you demean me for my lasagne peasantry and then say 'crab is crab, even at RL'


Seafood varies greatly, yes, especially fresh vs. frozen (pretty much everything but fresh catch at RL is frozen). Crab - snow and king anyway, as referenced in my post - mostly comes from the same region and is mostly (all, I think) frozen. There's a world of difference between a lasagna and steaming some frozen crab. Crab is pretty hard to fuck up unless you over-season it or overcooked it. It's simpler and has fewer points of possible failure. I've had frozen snow and king crab in my house from a shitty steamer that was as good as any crab I've had at RL. It just isn't hard.

Of course this is all just my opinion, which I would think on a message board would be obvious without specifying.

I wasn't demeaning your opinion, stop being so dramatic.

I'm not just talking about me, but you need a little self-awareness. I'm saying this out of love.

It's easily a 1/2 dozen times a week you tell someone their cooking or eating choices are 'unacceptable' for some reason or another.

I try to be easygoing generally. Today it just struck me particularly wrong. If I was too harsh, I apologize.

Red Lobster, especially if allowed to carry-out and avoid wall to wall crying children.

Hard to fina a national list that even mentions that place.

I use to love LJS for a long time but it's gone down hill as a franchise they don't keep up fixing up the restaurants to make them nice and they get a bit grungy. I still will go once in a while but it's not the memory I enjoyed when I was in my younger years. The food is meh anymore also but I still like it enough to go back, I just don't feel like ringing the bell when I leave.

As long as you're not ordering the bag of dicks, I think you're good. :-)

I've had a Wendy's resurgence recently. The one near my house was fixed up quite nice, and I've had a few meals there now. Good stuff.

it's good - again, not as good as it once was - but still not bad.

if you try the Portobello Ravioli from OG - it is strong enough to entirely reshape your opinion of the restaurant as a whole.

Not even close for me. Red Lobster is the winner.

Olive Garden is disgusting... If I want Italian food, I will go to Carrabbas.
