My kids love Olive Garden – a lot.
With an Italian last name like Barranco, I’ll admit I’m slightly embarrassed by how much they love what may be the most generic Italian restaurant in the country. But I keep that to myself and indulge them.
Every time we go, I’m reminded of a question I like to ask my students: Why can’t we eat spaghetti with our hands? Sure, it’s fine for a toddler. But an adult? Definitely not. Seriously, though – why not? It can’t just be because it’s messy. Pulled pork sandwiches and sloppy joes are messy too. Restaurants even hand you wet wipes because they know it.
