$150k/year is "rich"? Dining at Olive Garden is for "rich people"? Not to long from now, anyone with more than $20 is going to be considered rich.
I hate headlines like this. They are talking about Darden's data, which owns Olive Garden, but most people haven't heard of Darden, so they call it 'Olive Garden' to simplify the headline.
However, Olive Garden is just one of the restaurant chains they own; they also own Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and the Capitol Grille, high end chains that rich people do dine at, so they have data from all over the spectrum.
I don't care how much you make Olive Garden just isn't a good value for the money. A few ounces of protein some sauce and pasta and that is 18 to 20 bucks. Naw... Much better restaurants to spend my money at.
I do really like their zuppa toscana though. I can't hate on that.
The unlimited salad is pretty great. There are breadsticks too. I just demolish the salad then my rather lame angel hair, chicken, and Alfredo sauce makes and appearance.
But I’m recalling memories from 10+ years ago. I don’t go out to eat anymore.
