Last week, the Internet rushed to crown its newest viral star, Grand Forks Herald (North Dakota) Columnist Marilyn Hagerty for her earnest review of the new Olive Garden that just opened in her sleepy town. Along with that came a great discussion on what snobs urban food enthusiasts have become and whether Olive Garden's food could actually be decent. So Sac Bee's lunch columnist Allen Pierleoni decided to do a straight forward review of Olive Garden in Folsom

The Olive Garden chain is to Italian cooking what the Mimi's Cafe chain is to French cuisine...

Our plates were heaped high with steaming fettucine Alfredo mixed with strips of moist chicken breast. We added ground black pepper and Parmesan cheese. Filling, yes. Tasty? Again, yes. Genuine? What do you think?

Meadowood's new $500 chef's table menu -- discuss - Critics and admirers are divided about the new $500 dinner. Certainly, the price is fair game and it's hard for many to stomach in an age of layoffs, foreclosures and budget cuts. As I see it, no one is obligated to order it. The $225 dinner is certainly a stellar food experience. What the chef's table does is give Meadowood an extra dose of prestige and, for better or worse, media coverage. In that sense, it's a great marketing tool whether anyone orders it or not. I would also imagine these huge meals might serve as a creative laboratory for new dishes and new techniques that just might find their way onto the main menu.

Is it Local If… -  Is it local if you have no other choice? Does having a nearby monopoly somewhat lessen the effect of local-ness? After all, no matter how much endive we elites shove down our craws, the single endive grower in America will still ship his product all over the world. It’s like eating artichokes in Castroville. They aren’t really grown anywhere else. It’s not like we have a choice. On the Sac Rag.
