  1. Honestly? Olive Garden is NOT as good as people think it is, it’s so bland! The last time I went there my food wasn’t even hot. Such a disappointing restaurant, especially sense it was so popular when I was a kid.

  2. Josh's comment about medicine was so wildly relevant to my life last week lmao. my kids had a slushy at a festival and didn't like it because it tasted like medicine – i thought so, too. my husband thought we were crazy and drank them both for us.

  3. Hating Burger King is from a McDonalds propaganda campaign. Their burgers are better, bigger, and cheaper. It's insane that it's accepted that McDonalds is better

  4. STOP! I thought bucco di beppo was a fake Smosh restaurant. I did not know it was a real place whatsoever

  5. I will say in the defense of olive gardens breadsticks…. something about them…, they HAVE to be eaten while fresh still. Something about them flavor wise never holds up once they get cold or are reheated. It's like all the garlic/salt/butter flavor is just zapped out of them.

  6. Yall must have shitty Olive Gardens in LA. Colorado has fantastic Olive Gardens. I have given up on ever going to Italy so it’s the best we have

  7. Ive always loved OG's breadsticks, but tbh they're not as good as they used to be. My fav is the Zuppa Tuskano tho..so good!

  8. well yes, the sad reality is cheap and fast and factory will always be more successful than the mom and pops. Mom and pops taste amazing!!!!! but they cant afford it forever is the truth.

  9. 15:16 this is a legit italian-american thing to "italianize" english words! I've heard "pockabooka" but my personal favorite is "shutthefuckupa tu!" My grandpa calls it "pidgin english" though I don't know if that's the most linguistically accurate term😭

  10. ok buy WHY is angela litteraly the best guest on this show?! Really enjoyed this one. I'm glad to see angela alittle more in her irl mode.
