Weird. The only Olive Garden I know around me is right next to a Red Lobster.

I'd guess Red Lobster.

Responses:

They're owned by the same company IIRC -- nm - oblique Apr 8, 06:22 14
- they are; darden rest group. the "which has more" was a question at trivia last week. I was like, "obvs OG" - amanda Apr 8, 06:24 9
  - So which has more? - JaxSean Apr 8, 06:43 6
    - This was my thinking as well. OG started in FL where RL is more of an entire east coast thing. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 8, 06:44
    - that's what trevor said: "I figured RL because of all of the land locked fly-overs wanting sea bugs." - amanda Apr 8, 06:44 4
      - Here's your map of Red Lobster locations -- (link) - TWuG Apr 8, 06:48 3
        
        And your Olive Garden map -- (link) - TWuG Apr 8, 06:50 2
        
        I'm not sure these are 100% comprehensive, but they look pretty good. -- nm - TWuG Apr 8, 06:51 1
        
        now I'm hungry -- nm - Beaker Apr 8, 06:51
  - I would have guessed RL but not very sure. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 8, 06:37 1
    - every single person I just polled here said RL as well. it's the OG by a fair margin. I think maybe eastern PA is where all the OGs are, because there - amanda Apr 8, 06:43
- They are. Darden Restaurants, along with Longhorn Steakhouse and a few others -- nm - Strongbad Apr 8, 06:23 3
  - Mmmmm....Bonefish Grille. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 8, 06:44
  - A Longhorn Steakhouse is right next to the other two. It all makes sense now... -- nm - Inigo Apr 8, 06:36 1
    - The very first Longhorn was built here in Atlanta, bought by Darden and converted into a chain. - Strongbad Apr 8, 06:40
