Hi friends:

I just come to USA in January from Indonesia for higher studies. Two
American things I enjoy very much are the football and Italian food.
Yesterday I eat in the restaurant call Olive Garden. The food was so
delicious! Where I can get recipe for the Italian dishes they serve?

Thanks

The Italian food will be better at an independently run restaurant.
Think of Mamma and Pappa in the kitchen.
Olive Garden is just a big chain and all the food is much too salty
and NOT made with love.

Believe it or not, there are places in the US where Olive Garden is the
ONLY choice for Italian food and Taco Bell for Mexican. Everyone is not
fortunate enough to live in a multi-ethnic, authentic food paradise.

If he enjoyed the food, so be it.

And even when there is a "family" place that doesn't mean the "family"
is Italian. Was in the local pizza place the other day, asked if my
take out order was ready, the girl at the register goes "Hey, Sergei . .
.." I don't think "Sergei" is Italian.

It's like I've always said, I've been to NYC and ate the pizza there
and it was delicious. But I know you can find pizza just as good by
going to out of the way mom and pop places in Savannah or Santa Fe or
Spokane or Topeka or Toledo. Keep away from the chain places whenever
possible and look for the family run restaurants.

I went there once. I had genuine Italian mashed potatoes on the side. I
asked the waitress if risotto or polenta was an option. "What?"

Um... No. Sure you can find sucky pizza in NY but they also have very good
pizza.
But then I suppose it depends on what you look for in a pizza. If you want
a thick crust you won't like it.

And even if the "family" is Italian, that doesn't mean they are actually
cooking Italian dishes. Just a couple days ago I watched a TV program about
italians in New Jersey in the 30's, it talked about this miner who came from
Sicily and knew nothing about cooking and set up a restaurant where he
cooked what he remembered from his mother and grandmother kitchen. Problem
is: since a man never helped women cooking, he did know zero about those
recipes. Random dishes, just that. It's very similar to the chinese people
setting up restaurants here in Italy: people from southern china who worked
in anything except cooking, so we get dishes of fake chinese cuisine made by
real chinese people.

Hi Victor!

When you say "football", I assume you mean real football not the
soccer thing, right? Here at rsfc we love both college football and
professional football (if you are a Southeastern Conference fan they
are the same thing, though! Ha Ha!) so you have come to the right
place to talk football!

Welcome Victor!

NYC pizza uses way too much sauce. That's one thing the chains
get right -- pizza is supposed to about the bread and cheese.

I lived in Chicago - I know what pizza tastes like. NYC style pizza
sucks. Domino's would have been ashamed to sell.
