Every dinner plate will be embossed with this image...so that when you finish eating your spaghetti, THIS is smiling back at you.

Anyone can top the Olive Garden.

Not if your plan is to consume 15,000 calories from just bread and salad and spend only $9.99

well, Greg and that one mod idgit and a couple of other robot lovers will like that. I think he's giving free backstabbing at the door. I hope Wade never visits it.

Jokes aside, I hope he does well with it. There's always demand for good Italian restaurants and I believe they're one of the ones with the cheapest overheads. Pasta isn't expensive to make/buy and people will pay for good Italian. I've no doubt he researched all about what might do well. Do I think he has anything to do with the recipe creations for it? Other than tasting what chefs are offering and saying yes or no, I don't think he is. (Or maybe I'm wrong and he has a passion for making Italian food).

Good luck to him and his endeavor. I'm not going to eat there, but I hope he succeeds.

??? This kind if stuff I don't get. My family was in the restaurating business for over 50 years. I don't understand how people think they can get in the biz without any real experience and domain expertise.

Between him and Babe would you trust either of them to curate menus, taste experiences, run food and beverage operations efficiently to bring good value to a customer base?

I will concede domain expertise in football, and the NFL, but restauranting and Italian cuisne???

Unless they think Olive Garden is real Italian food.

That's probably why Jason and Babe are teaming with a restauranteur. They write the checks and he adds the sweat.

I would rather go to an Italian restaurant owned by Tony Devito's family!

Garrett made probably 60 million dollars off Jerry alone. This is just a plaything and ego move for wealthy people like Garrett.

What Garrett and Laufenburg not Italian enough for you? Forget about it, you big marmaduke.

 

[SuspectCorner]

What could go wrong.

Just gotta find the RKG’s, right?

I was going to crack a joke about ginger Italians, but then did a quick Google, and lo and behold, 0.57% of Italians are natural redheads. 1 in 200. So who knows, maybe his mama mia taught him some home country recipes.

Named Garrett, right? Oh, he’s autentico, no doubt.

 

[SuspectCorner]

Howzabout ‘Loser’s Garden’? Nice, eh?

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

I hope he doesn’t invest too much because 80% of restaurants fail. Even the ones that know the business. He better hire the right people….

Elementary, me lad, elementary. Banks, investors etc. Invest heavily in analytics.
Things such as don't buy restaurant land where demographics suggest poverty. Analytics will indicate foot traffic and traffic patterns and even set projected income and profits. And the top people there gotta have top resumes.

Garrett will prosper because curiosity and hunger will draw customers.
Ah, capitalism!

Yet Taco Hell and Chipotle dish millions of meals daily with little authenticity either. Americans are not picky, lad.

Simple strategy - just continue to stack pizza box on top of pizza boxes, and you will be successful.

Man, it took me forever to get that. Didn't until you used numbers instead of ate and ate.
