Fascinating.

Amazing.

Rat's foot bisque is a delicacy in some countries.

Film at 11.

Definitely a scam. I have been to that Olive Garden many times with no problems.

Someone told me that someone at another Olive Garden told them (so you know it must be true ). that it was a scam.
They were able to easily ascertain the foot had never been cooked.

Olive Garden is disgusting. All the chain italian places are nasty. Maggiano's is good, comparatively speaking, to Olive Garden and Carrabba's, but shit is trash there.

The best italian I've had in the area was cafe cortina. I really like the whole Franklin area.

OG is pretty good in TC. I'm not gonna trash-talk any restaurant based on this story.

One of my fave IT restaurants back when I traveled for work often was Spaghetti Warehouse in Akron, OH. 15-layer lasagna was a food coma delight!

It's been quite a while since I've been, but glad to see that they still have a relatively strong foothold in OH (at least compared to other states) after all these years.

Without a doubt, if you talked to anyone who has worked at any restaurant, they can tell you a story about the place that would gross you out. My sister used to open at a Chinese place. First order of business every morning was to flick the mouse turds off the egg rolls. Every restaurant breaks up the meat customers didn't eat and puts it in the chili pot.

As far as Olive Garden, I rarely eat there either. I'm more of a Mom & Pop diner customer myself. But the parking lot of the OG by me is always full.

Spaghetti Warehouse is my favorite Italian place. We're all regulars there.

I agree it's likely a scam, although the object in question does indeed look just like the foot of a field rat (comparing it to other images online).

Olive Garden sucks. Last time I went to one was nearly two decades ago. The lunch entrée I ordered for $13 or $14 was gone in eight bites. Just a pitiful quantity of food for the money. The sodium content of most of their food is off the charts bad; worse than many frozen dinners in the supermarket.

I grew up eating at the one in Toledo. So many fond memories of that place. When I was very young, I would get so excited when we got to eat inside the train they had.

People who go to Olive Garden by choice are white trash.
