It's just that since I currently live in a metro area of 3 million people (counting Boulder) there are at least 4 places I can think of that have prices similar to Olive Garden, are owned locally and serve far better quality food that I'd rather eat at. That's why I would rip on them. I'm beginning to understand that not everyone has options and if you're driving an hour to get there you're probably stuck with the chains.

um . . . des moines has a huge italian-american population, compared w/ its size, and i can come up w/ 8 restaurants off the top of my head that are similar in price, but dominate in quality . . . you can find them anywhere, if you want to do the research and are willing to try something new.
