There’s A Hack To Get Food For $7 At Olive Garden
These days there are social media hacks for almost anything and there’s a new one involving Olive Garden going viral that claims you can get a ‘feast’ for just $7. As it turns out, it’s not as much as a hack as a way to ‘game’ the system.
A TikToker posted the video that involves ordering takeout from the kids' menu that’s designed for “Under 12” only. Kids have 11 options for pasta, pizza, or chicken with a side of broccoli or grapes and a drink as well as their famous breadsticks for $6.99. It seems that as long as you are ordering as a family with kids you can grab this deal which is a great way to save some bucks in the current economy. There’s always the chance that this viral hack could get blocked just so that you know.
Olive Garden also has a $6 ‘Take Home Entrée’ deal that gives you one of three menu options – Fettuccine Alfredo, Five Cheese Ziti, or Spaghetti with Meat Sauce as pre-chilled meals to be re-heated at home. By ordering breadsticks on the side for $13 you can grab two pasta dishes, breadsticks, a side of broccoli, and a drink. Regular priced entrées go for $16-$20 dine-in, so this is another way to cut your costs at Olive Garden.

Serious Question: Is Pizza an Italian Food or an American Food?
Here's a serious question that's trending right now: Is pizza an Italian food, or an American food? It's in the news after a history professor IN Italy claimed it's more American than Italian. So the Italians have been freaking out.
The Italian government made a formal request with the U.N. last month to get Italian cuisine "World Heritage" status. And that same day, he did a big interview about how some "Italian" food isn't really THAT Italian.
He claims carbonara sauce was first made in Chicago in 1953, and that Italy doesn't really do traditional parmesan anymore either. He says the only place you can find anything close to what it was 50 years ago is in Wisconsin.
Basically, he says Italians got to America and started tweaking their recipes. Then Italy followed suit, but now they're trying to claim those recipes as their own.
His beef with pizza is that it originally didn't have tomato sauce. He says that happened in New York, not Naples . . . it's the reason it's become so popular worldwide . . . and so America deserve most of the credit.
He claims Italy's World Heritage application includes, quote, "a lot of [B.S.]". The U.N. won't decide whether to accept it or not until 2025.
