Olive Garden Breadsticks

My first posting will be that of Olive Garden's famous breadsticks. I have been a long time fan of Olive Garden's breadsticks because of sheer warmth that the breadsticks come out everytime. I can not remember one bad incident involving their bread sticks since I have been going to Olive Garden. Everytime I have eaten at The Garden, I have received hot, delicious bread sticks. However, I get the occasional grumpy server who gets tired of having to go back and refill my bread basket. Olive Garden has a bread rule that makes my servers disgruntled; its what I call the "One for One plus One" rule. This rule inclines that servers bring one breadstick out per person plus one extra breadstick. Example, if two people are on a date, the server will bring out three breadsticks. A party of four receives five bread sticks, etcetera etcetera. By the time my server is finished adding cheese to the salad, it is common for the breadsticks to already be eaten, forcing them to return with more. This is the first sign of one of many trips back to the kitchen for bread refills for my table. But what can I say, I absolutely LOVE these breadsticks! Combined with their alfredo or marinara sauce used for dipping, or the sponging of the last of your soup, these breadsticks will always have a place in my heart and are the reason I keep eating at Olive Garden.
