    Has the quality gone down at Applebee’s and Olive Garden? I haven’t been to either recently but I recall them being consistently ok, certainly better than “shitty microwaved food”, as one commenter put it. I’m sensing some big “I think it’s super cool to look down on things” energy in this thread.

        The last time I went to Olive Garden my raviolis were clearly microwaved as the food was hot but the shells were rock hard without looking overcooked in any way. It’s all garbage corporate food with a facade of being ‘fancy’ because they have some Italian decor on the walls.

      Honestly, it’s just the cool thing to meme on on the Internet. Like saying the ice cream machine at McDonald’s is always down.

      They aren’t the greatest, but they’re ok.

        I’m sure I will curse myself by saying this, but I have never encountered a broken McDonald’s ice cream machine.

        However, I have encountered an El Pollo Loco that was out of chicken.
