  • Olive Garden -- again

    We received an Olive Garden gift certificate from a friend the other day. My wife wants to use it this evening so I was puttering around the web trying to get an idea of what I could have. In addition to some good tips from this board (yes, the search feature works!) I found that the OG's website has a little feature that lists appropriate meals for various types of diets. There's a low-carb section here:
    Olive Garden Italian Restaurant - Our Menu - Garden Fare Menu

    The link doesn't take you directly there. It opens to the low fat section but there's a low carb tap you can click about half way down. Some of the suggested meals are obviously not induction-friendly but it seems like there should be something for most of us.

    Even when a restaurant doesn't have "us" on this board in mind, I think one of the silver linings of the state of the economy is that restaurants are so eager to please. In the one year and twelve days that I've been back on Atkins I've never had a restaurant be anything less than happy to subtract what I can't have and add what I can.

    Cheers,

      It appears that most items are high in carbs. If I had to go, I would get the Steak Toscany with the broccolli @ 8 carbs.
