Olive Garden. Ick! My wife loves their eggplant parmesan so I take her there a few times a year. I always pore over the menu trying to find something - anything - that isn't disgusting. I have failed every time. I think the water there is okay. I'm hoping that Sears/K-mart/GM/Microsoft buys them and they all can go down the toilet together some day.
