Olive Garden: $100 Never Ending Pasta Pass

[lnc]

For those like Olive Garden and pastas, Olive Garden roll out the "Never Ending Pasta Pass.  For $100, it gives the holder the right to consume all of the pasta, salad, bread and Coca-Cola branded soft drinks that they can stuff down for seven weeks.http://www.cnbc.com/id/101979356

That's a lot of carbohydrates.

It's a great deal just for lunch alone if you go out for lunch during weekdays.

Definitely doesn't help with waistline.

I believe their Never Ending Pasta was $9.99 per meal, and that was without the drink so this pays back in about 8-9 sittings.

Hmmm... only problem is I never get past the 1st or 2nd serving of pasta (which is actually a good thing).

The deal actually includes drinks for everyone at your table.  Clearly a way to entice the cardholder to bring others.

Bad experience last year at Olive Garden--crunchy pasta, stale bread, and bland salad  You would have to pay me $100 to eat there ever again.

How the hell do you get crunchy pasta unless you fry?  I don't know how to cook and even I can make pasta right.

I made the mistake of ordering their "special" pasta. They over cooked the noodles when they saut?ed it with the sauce and vegtables.

Are u sure the pasta wasn't undercooked?  That's when it's crunchy.

Have you ever had fried pasta?

So good.

That was one of the few things I liked at Olive Garden. The fried ravioli. I don't think they have it anymore. Now I think they have the fried lasagna which is good as well. Any crunch though is by design from the batter.
