7. I'm an ex-waitress - you literally have to pick your nose and flick boogers in my food
right there at the table for me to give anything less than 15%. I usually do 20-25%

8. LOL! That's cool by me.
It's not on my list of favorites, but they ran a limited time special on one dish I had there a year or so ago, and it was TO DIE FOR!

But given a choice, I prefer Macaroni Grill.

13. I'm hooked on the glazed salmon, and I could also make a meal out of the appetizer platter
With the salmon I get a pasta that looks like rice, but I can't think of the name of it right now. I have it written down somewhere because I want to make it at home.

That's the only place I have ever had calamari, and I like that too. Their bruschetta is also very good! Another great treat there is the little loaf of bread to break off in chunks by hand and dip in olive oil and pepper. Oh yum!

okay, now I am salivating ....

12. I'm with you LS...
We have a salesman in Italy that comes to the states about 3 times a year. He LIKES the OG and he LIKES the Macaroni Grill. I will ask him the next time I see him about the og....lol

I have traveled all over and food is food. Western tastes have influenced most all of Europe now..

17. The OG in Clearwater? Hardest Waitress job to get. Why? The Phillies all go there.
Many an O.G. waitress has wound up out and about with The Boys of Summer.

28. Why would I want to "shame you?" Eat wherever you want to. It's not for me
to judge what you do.
