Hey, I like Olive Garden. I even tried to have my birthday dinner there a few years ago only semi-ironically, but they didn't take reservations. But I think Sioux City might be a little bit too excited about their new Olive Garden. That article is guaranteed to make *anyone* feel like a food snob, though it's not any more ridiculous than the fuss New Yorkers make over Momofuku or whatever. (Via Die Actor Die)

I like how the Sioux City Journal article takes the care to refer the general manager as a "bachelor."

I live in Iowa - my roommate is from Sioux City - and this post made my life today. No lie.
Because she is from the METROPOLIS OF SIOUX CITY.
Oh, this is awesome.

I have a great aunt who lives in a small town in Georgia, and you should have SEEN how excited they were when a Waffle House finally opened up there.

So I talked to my roommate from Sioux City and
a. this happened a long time ago.
b. that olive garden is closed? or something?
c. she feels rather insulted.
I just think that the article was an *amazing* piece of "journalism," and as a native of a much, much smaller Iowa town that flipped out when we got a Taco Johns, appreciate the sentiment of your post.
