Dine #2

Lets cut to the chase - I LOVE Alfredo sauce! My love is on the verge of an addiction. You can guess what I get when I go to the Olive Garden or what I got tonight for that matter. I had the Broccoli Alfredo with Penne – which doesn't really makes sense as normally people have pasta with some sauce and not sauce with a little pasta...It was great though! In the past Dining Services biggest mistake with this dish has been adding the broccoli TOO soon. What starts off as an Alfredo dish quickly becomes a broccoli flavored cream sauce, covering the creamy parmesan flavor that makes Alfredo so good not in a good way. I personally like Alfredo when it has a bit of garlic in it, but I didn't notice as I was distracted by the half melted parmesan that covered it! I wish I had gone back for a second bowl!

I also had the Taco pizza. I actually didn't enjoy it that much, but at lunch it was amazing! It is really an interesting if you have never seen it. It was all the taco toppings, (seasoned ground beef, cheese, salsa, tomatoes, lettuce, and sour cream) on a piece of pizza. It really is great - but once cold it loses its quality of taste. The cheese loses flavor, the seasoned ground beef becomes over powering, and the crust starts to harden a bit. Personally I enjoy more lettuce on my taco pizzas, preventing the pizza from becoming too dry and just a tad more sour cream - both were lacking during dinner.

I had a fun realization today looking at the dinner menu . On Monday the Crave served Grilled Chicken Breast. On Tuesday they served All Natural Grilled Chicken Breast...does this mean that Monday’s was artificial?

There’s some food for thought...
