I hate it when u work at a restaurant and they have a ton of food left over. With so much food going into the trash I don’t know why they don’t call these homeless shelters up and tell them that they leftovers do they want to send someone over to pick it up? And if they don’t pick it up before all the employees leave then throw it away.

@ditackett unfortunately in some restaurants employee's were cooking too much so that there would be food left over at the end of night to take home...so they stopped and then some restaurants got sued for giving out food ..so most restaurants have nixed both policies

Great video, guys, thank you for sharing that video. I like these videos when you eat at either national restaurants or cook from home so that people from anywhere in the United States can either replicate the food that you cook or enjoy the same food at a different restaurant location in the U.S. My wife and I live in Kansas, for example, and while we have Olive Garden and Cracker Barrel here, most of the restaurants you have reviewed to date seem to be just around the Sevierville or Tennessee area. We are not able to travel much so there is little to no chance that we will be able to go that specific area of the country. At any rate, your videos are fun to watch anyway.

I'm so starving! Olive Garden is one of my faves and wish I had one close. Alfredo ALWAYS for me!! I would've asked for a cup of their freshly grated Romano and Zuppa Tuscana and breadsticks as well. Love you guys❤❤❤

Thanks for the review! Anytime we go to The Olive Garden we will get these meals for my elderly mother, they make a perfect easy dinner or lunch for her. * I think it would be interesting for you both to make a video about starting your KZbin channel and what inspired you to start.

You know that is a good idea. We may have to do that. We really appreciate you watching and I’m glad that your mom has you nearby to take care of her.❤️😊

Ok- we will do it. Probably will be on next Thursday!! When I was a kid we lived in Woodville Ohio. My Dad worked in Toledo. We moved to Florida when I was 8 so that was along time ago!

First time watching your channel, loved the review. I would recommend not heating in the plastic as heat will break it down and you may be ingesting forever chemicals. Hand wash the containers if you want to reuse again.

You could add meatballs (Italian meatballs from the freezer section) to the spaghetti and get 2 or 3 high protein meals out of a single $6 platter. Same thing with the Alfredo - add grilled chicken to create multiple meals. I would add sautéed zucchini and onions to the last one.

I save the IHOP, and Chinese take out containers to use for leftovers. Great to reheat in microwave. Same for lunch meat containers. I have a small 'collection'. LOL They can easily add up. 😅

For sure! You could get two meals under $20 and get the salad and breadsticks complementary. Have a water instead of a tea or soda and then get a couple of takeoff meals and be all in under $60 for sure.
