Moving to Breadstick Nation

Chicken Parmigiana Breadstick
Sandwich $7.99

As you well know, I like the Olive Garden.  We eat there maybe four times a year.  We both have the exact same thing.  Soup, salad and breadsticks.  At 140 calories each, I usually enjoy one and one half breadsticks.  (Math lesson:  If you eat seven breadsticks, as many people do,  you are pushing 1,000 calories - for just the breadsticks.)

Meatball Breadstick Sandwich $6.99

Like we Americans love to do, Olive Garden has taken a good thing and gone crazy with it.

On Thursdays an Olive Garden Food Truck was in downtown Orlando to help promote their new breadstick sandwiches.  Lots of folks drove a long way to get a free sample.  Including standing in line to get the Meatball
Breadstick Sandwich, eating it, and then standing in line to get the Chicken Parm Breadstick Sandwich.

The sandwiches are cheap, and come with fries, soup or salad and - you guessed it - unlimited breadsticks.
