strange wikipedia detail:
Despite Olive Garden's advertising that it has a cooking institute in Tuscany, news outlets have reported that, in fact, there is no institute or school. Olive Garden does send a number of managers, trainers, and cooks to Tuscany each year, but they stay in a rented hotel and spend only a few hours at a local restaurant in its off-season.

I've never been to an olive garden. Growing up where I did there were always a ton of good basic Italian places so going to OG would be criminal. Their popularity always mystified me but I guess there's a lot of places in the US where that's the only Italian food you would get? Seems insane but idk. Saw a tik tok where an American girl living in the UK praised all the bakeries and said in the US the only bakeries they have are Dunkin Donuts. ?!?!
