On the other hand, I quit going there ages ago as they did away with anything even close to fettuccine.

They have some mac and cheese crap now that they try to pass off as being close.

When I want authentic Italian pasta, I certainly head to Applebees :) -- nm - ty97 May 16, 11:14 19
- No, it is when Amy and Logan want to go to the closest sit-down restaurant to our house and I need to find something to eat on that menu. - Spawn May 16, 11:25
- this is why Spawn is not allowed in food conversations. -- nm - groiny May 16, 11:14 17
  - I mean, doesn't Indiana at least have Macaroni Grill?! -- nm - ty97 May 16, 11:16 16
    - They have Buca di Beppo which is a pretty tasty chain if you ask me. -- nm - Diva May 16, 11:17 13
      - *LOVE* their apple gorgonzola salad. -- nm - Strongbad May 16, 11:35
      - A great place to go if you are down with it taking 90 minutes. -- nm - Spawn May 16, 11:30 4
        
        wow - I haven't been to Indy in a long time, but that was not my experience there. -- nm - Diva May 16, 11:43
        
        that is what appetizers are for. -- nm - groiny May 16, 11:31 2
        
        I meant it more that any time I take the family out to eat for dinner, time is an issue as Logan has a bedtime. -- nm - Spawn May 16, 11:42 1
        
        tell lil man to fucking suck it up. -- nm - groiny May 16, 11:43
      - I've never been. Not even sure I've heard of it. *searches* Broadway & 45th, not far! -- nm - ty97 May 16, 11:20 4

        fwiw, their dinner portions are huge -- nm - budice May 16, 11:24
        
        oh, yeah, and bring a friend or two. -- nm - groiny May 16, 11:22
        
        if you like garlic and olive oil, it is the bomb. - groiny May 16, 11:22
      - Word. -- nm - budice May 16, 11:17
      - WORD -- nm - groiny May 16, 11:17
    - Indiana still has Hardees and Stuckeys -- nm - budice May 16, 11:16 1
      - jeebus - Pippy May 16, 11:17
this is my gripe too - as soon as I love something on the menu - its gone and replaced with something inferior -- nm - Pippy May 16, 11:13 4
- I find this to be true at most casual chains (Chili's I'm making an annoyed face at you!) -- nm - ty97 May 16, 11:14 3
  - They will never get rid of their greatest achievement. - Spawn May 16, 11:26 2
    - which is funny, because they are not close to crispy -- nm - groiny May 16, 11:28 1
      - IIRC you now have that option, but I stay with original. -- nm - Spawn May 16, 11:32
Do you mean alfredo? -- nm - Shaun May 16, 11:11 2
- Both work in this case, but yes, I mean fettuccine alfredo. -- nm - Spawn May 16, 11:27 1
  - We would probably induce a food coma in you if you had our homemade alfredo. -- (edited) - Shaun May 16, 11:30
