My daughters and I stopped into the Olive Garden in Frisco last night. I don’t care what day of the week it is, there’s a wait to get a table. Olive Garden must be doing something right!
When the server delivered dinner, she asked us if we wanted some grated cheese on our meals. As she put it on, she asked us if we knew what kind of cheese was used. Parmesan was my guess…wrong! We tossed out a couple of quick follow-up guesses to no avail. My daughters even went online with their phones hoping Google would provide the answer. Nothing!
We eventually gave in and told her that she won. What was the correct answer? Romano cheese is used. Apparently Parmesan cheese is a bit too spicy for most people so Romano is used unless otherwise requested.
We had a good meal and some fun as well. Next time we’ll be ready!

Thanks Tom....it is 9:10 in the morning and I am ready for dinner NOW....lol
So, not only did you learn something new yesterday -- you've shared it with all your 'Rainers and now we can say we've learned something new as well. (Wasn't that cogent of me?!?)
I hate being stumped and was surprised that one could not Google the answer. This post should change that!

Romano is not a bad answer. I was thinking she was going to reply glue.
I'm happy you enjoyed dinner with your daughter--sounds like you spent some quality time together.

To ~ when my daughter was in college, she worked at Olive Garden during summer vacations. We had many excellent meals there, and I think we also had the benefit of an employee discount! :-)
