I have $47 in gift cards to Olive Garden. Wife and I are going to live it up something fierce. What would you order?

fill up on soup/salad/breadsticks and take your food home...bam 2 meals

beers

That is exactly what I would get. The zuppa toscana is by far their best soup, a very nice complementary item to the greatest bread sticks known to man.

How did you end up with an odd amount? Have you used some already?

Pasta, boy! Love that shite.

I have a new $25 card from my sister, a new $10 card from 1.5 years ago, and $12 left on an old card from years ago. Yes, that soup is very good.

I used to be really into OG in high school until I began eating out more and soon realized their pastas are just thousands of grams of sodium and fat...bleh. Anyway if you have to spend the gift card, I would go the alcohol route: beer, wine, the works. Soups and breadsticks are refillable so not much $$ there. Do they serve steak? Get that. And make your own pizza is actually pretty good. Finally dessert. Eat that stuff up.

$47 aughta' get you beer, a b*******, and a whole lotta bread. Hope your wife likes b*******s.

*the breads free so don't hold back.

I love pizza, but I was not impressed with OG's pizza for some reason.

I'd sale them for 40 on ebay and go somewhere good.

Garlic bread.

Order two endless pasta bowls each.

wine. Ask for bowls of wine. Proceed to "Eat" it like its soup.

I concur.

There's no debate here.

The Tour of Italy.

3 different pastas in one meal. Go hungry.

OG pizza no good. I come from the Italian restaurant capital of the USA. OG actually, not joking, modeled their sauce to taste like the sauce you get at restaurants in Endicott, NY.

Come to Endicott and go to:

Tony's- in between Nick's (it's his brother) and Oaks Inn- has a bar.

Nick's- cheap, basic, great- no bar, has beer

Antonio's- upscale, great gelato, bar- specializes in martini's (some with gelato), pasta, great appetizers

Consols- cheap, great pasta. Thin crust pizza is the BEST- has a bar

Oaks Inn-a little fancier, more expensive- has a bar

Because that's obviously the most practical thing to do.

If you're in the area it is. Sheesh. Or you can go to someplace that serves catsup for sauce and overcooks the pasta till it sticks to the ceiling.

And:

There's a half marathon in May- The Greater Binghamton Bridge Run. Has modest prize money (google it). Then you'll be here so why not?
