My Rating:It’s time for meal 2 on the “Ready for Spaghetti” theme! I’m heading over to Orange City, FL for my 35th Olive Garden visited during this Pasta Journey! I’m going with Spaghetti, Alfredo & Grilled Chicken [Half]: Delicious! Another 10/10 meal! You can never go wrong with Crispy Shrimp Fritta! Service at this location was fantastic as well! Here is the Ziosk showing a cost savings of $15.96: Here is the nutritional information for this meal:
My Rating:New theme day! As I did 50/50 Sauce Week back on Week 2, and did Double Meat during on Week 5, it’s time to get creative with the Pasta! This is 8 Weeks of PASTA after-all. We are going to do 50/50 Pasta, combining 2 of the 7 Pasta options together. To start off, I am going with Rigatoni/Whole Grain Linguine, mixed with Asiago Garlic Alfredo & Crispy Shrimp Fritta: This probably would have looked prettier if the Pasta was mixed together, but it still came out great! Rigatoni on one side, Whole Grain Linguine on the other. I was […]
My Rating:After a fantastic Record Breaking Day in Burlington, NC with #PastaPreacher Alan Martin, it’s time to head back to Florida, on a 600+ mile road trip. As I didn’t leave NC until almost 5pm, I should get home around 3am. It’s going to be a long night! As I have to make 2 stops along the way for Meals 2 & 3 today, I’m stopping at a new location off I95, over in Pooler, GA. I’m going with Fettuccine, Five Cheese Marinara & Crispy Shrimp Fritta [Half]: This was good! I’d say 8/10. This was also the first time I was at […]
My Rating:Today is the BIG DAY! It’s time for Meal 116, the one that passes the prior record held since 2014, from #PastaPreacher Alan Martin. I took a road trip from Inverness, FL to Burlington, NC, 600+ miles away (1,200 round trip) to have a nice meal together while passing his record at the same time. On Friday, it was time to throw on my 8 Weeks of Pasta shirt… … and hit the road: I stopped at locations along the way in Georgia, South Carolina and finally ending up in North Carolina, where I met up with an old […]
My Rating:It’s Wednesday, so that means I’m over in Orlando today for work! Fortunately, there is an Olive Garden close by, at the ORLANDO – WATERFORD LAKES NEAR UCF location. For my 107th visit, I’m going with Rigatoni, Alfredo & Crispy Shrimp Fritta [Half]: This was another ridiculously good meal. I wasn’t quite sure how it would work with the Rigatoni, and it worked REALLY well. 10/10. I also a added in some freshly grated Romano, which is always an excellent companion to any dish. It’s also part of that Italian generosity that Olive Garden loves to provide, as they literally […]
