Mmm, broccoli and tuna is an interesting choice! So many different textures to bite through, way better than normal macaroni salad.

@Kulinary Kevin: I’ve been to the Broad and Chestnut location and didn’t like it much. I think it was the combo of it being incredibly dark and the Art Institute kids who loiter outside.
I’ve heard that a lot of the food the chain uses is nuked from frozen, though I haven’t had cold meat there..yet.

@Al a la Carte: Steak Gorgonzola sounds amazing, just might have to make a followup visit to the place.

I’m all about Olive Garden. Though, Steak Gorgonzola is the only thing I ever order. I rarely touch the breadsticks and will scarf some soup but the Gorgonzola is the only thing I care about. Spaghetti Warehouse’s sourdough bread is still my favorite for before meal snacking.

Good review.

The City Line Ave. Olive Garden isn’t up there on my short list of Olive Gardens (the only other one I’ve ever been to is the one near Chestnut and Broad Streets). The last time Jen and I went to the City Line location it was…. strange. I had a Yuengling and I remember it being incredibly flat and overpriced. Also, their seats were filthy (make sure you don’t accidentally move the cushions on the booths, you can’t take back what you see there). I didn’t expect much from their food. We had the soup, salad and breadsticks deal. The soup seemed microwaved (some parts SCOLDING HOT some parts ICE COLD) and the breadsticks just seemed like something I can pick up from the freezer section. It was like bread in a rod shape with fake butter. Despite not expecting much, it was moderately enjoyable. We had a gift card, I’m pretty sure that’s why we went and I think that’s what it was enjoyable.

P.S. Can I get a cool nickname who’s first letter is the first letter of my first name? I suggest: Kitchen Kevin. That severely limits Kelly’s options, though.

I tend to agree. In my opinion, Olive Garden should be 4 dollars less expensive across the board. Then again, I price things based on their value in 1895, so..

Vetri might be worth checking out. I need fancier clothes though

$16 for pasta with heavy cream and hammered shrimp is way too much.

any pasta at vetri (which is widely regarded as philly’s best restaurant) only costs $19.

A salmon BLT sounds like the perfect brunch sandwich. Why are BLTs always made with the lettuce on the bottom? Without fail, it makes everything slide around needlessly. Devil’s Alley indeed!
