NoVA fam, I need your help…I am getting married December 7 and am curious if there are any companies you might know that would do a last minute food delivery from the OliveGarden in Manassas to Delaplane, VA. Something fell through last minute and I’m trying to get the food delivered to a small family wedding . Luckily it’s only like 7 chafing dishes, but I am in real need of finding a food delivery truck that can pick up an order from a restaurant and drop it off at a winery. I’m at the point I’m about to post on craigslist asking if someone wants to use their pickup truck for a delivery and make $100 😅.
All the research I’ve done it looks like Doordash, etc, only do corporate events and you have to order through them. I just need a company with a truck that handles food delivery.
Any tips or information are appreciated :)

And have made it public what common allergens are in different dishes?
For example like Olive Garden has https://media.olivegarden.com/en_us/pdf/allergen_guide.pdf
Applebees has an app that allows you to see only dishes without your allergens https://www.applebees.com/en/nutrition/allergen-info

I have about a cup of raspberry sauce that came with the zeppoli we had at Olive Garden. I want to use it instead of throwing it away, but I’m usually more of a “savory” person so I’m not interested in like using it as an ice cream topping or something. I mean it doesn’t have to be a totally savory dish but I just wanted to use it in a better way than just as a topping.

Armen walked to the dining pavilion, washing his hands and getting ready to cook some food. Although he was president of cooking club back at high school, he wasn't really sure what to make. Finally, he decided on some wholesome Italian food.
MAIN DISHES

• Fettucine alfredo
• Bucatini with sausage and kale
• Steak gorgonzola alfredo
• Pizza Margherita
• Lasagna

DESSERTS

• Tiramisu
• Panna Cotta

And of course, due to the magical goblets...

• any non-alcoholic drink

We've all seen those fad challenges/diets where someone eats specific food/type of food for a long amounts of time and see where they are at at the end. (The latest being Chipotle for 155 days straight)
Today, Olive Garden is selling a 7-week pass for never ending pasta bowls for $100.
Do you think it would be possible to either maintain one's fitness level or even show progression in fitness?
Their selections are pretty slim and the chicken and shrimp looks breaded, although people in forums state that some restaurants will sub with grilled chicken.
Nutritional Facts
If one would try, what would be the best dish, macro-wise? Anyone up for the challenge? :)

Hi there folks, welcome to another delicious subreddit of the day by yours truly. Tonight we are featuring a delicious array of Tuscan fare, inspired by the rolling hills of that lovely region of Italy. Let us first select a flavourful Chianti and then partake in a pre-meal Lanzo Torinese offering; pencil-sized sticks of crisp, dry bread called grissini, otherwise known to North American palettes as Breadsticks.
While you are selecting your entree from our unmatched collection of traditional italian dishes, please be sure to note that both the fresh soup and crisp salads have been prepared with only your dining pleasure in mind. After all, our chefs are trained at the famed Culinary Institute of Tuscany, and they don't fuck around.
Now that we have placed your order I would like to ensure that your every need is met. Do you have enough water? May I top off your wineglass? Can I interest you in some more breadsticks? They are unlimited, if you weren't aware.
Does the restaurant's ambiance met your expectations? We are renovating over 350 of our locations to more accurately reflect the tradition Tuscan dining experience. Please excuse the mess. Can I offer you some more breadsticks? Don't forget to save room for dessert!
Now please, direct your attention to the mods of this tasty subreddit, for tonight's entertainment.

When you visit your favourite restaurant for dinner, which side do you prefer?

CircleJerkAmbassador: Nothin' zapps me up like a golden weaved basket o breadsticks! Just make sure they are from a restaurant that has hospitaliano!
reese_ridley: Whenever I go out to eat, I always get caught up in a similar dilemma: do I want a house salad with my meal, or would I prefer a delicious soup made from scratch? Then I thought, why not have both? And if I'm going to have my cake (and by "cake," I mean Olive Garden's soup and salad bar) and eat it too, why not have unlimited amounts of each?
eyjafjallajoekull: What a silly question! Nothing gets me in the mood quite like breadsticks! As the famous poet Brad Stick (formerly Handsum Hart) once said, "His animal ways / Of feeding her / His breadsticks of love / Altered her thoughts / Needs and appetite / Transforming her into his / Creature of love / Wilder than any beast / Moving upon the earth / Even wilder than / An unmarried woman / On the prowl for a husband // Always in hungry growl was she / With want of savagely wolfing down / His breadsticks of love / That he toasted to tasty perfection / Over the white-hot eye / Of her flaming passion / Impossible to put out / So consumed was she / With savage desire / To be transformed further / Into his wild creature of love / That her thoughts / With great ferociousness / Growled at his mind / And dared him / To use his tongue as a spoon / And feed her / A bowl of his love-soup / And behold what happens to her"
Suspended_Animation: I'm a breadstick and soup kind of guy! Give me a basket of unlimited breadsticks, a big hearty bowl of Zuppa Toscana, and maybe even throw in a Garden-Fresh Salad, and I'll be in heaven.

Are there any other items which catch your attention on the menu?

Suspended_Animation: I'm a big fan of Dipping Sauces for Breadsticks. Most people never ask, "how do you improve upon unlimited breadsticks?" It is a bit of a silly/absurd question. It's like asking, "How do you improve upon perfection?" Well, the answer to the question is you take perfection, and dunk it in delicious marinara, alfredo, or five cheese marinara sauce! I'm also a big fan of Stuffed Mushrooms and Ravioli di Portobello. Mmmm.
CircleJerkAmbassador: Sometimes I just want some soup and salad with it. I've got a big appetite and a man can't live on breadsticks alone! I need unlimited soup and salad as well. I think there's even a place that sells it for $8.99.
eyjafjallajoekull: Besides unlimited soups and salads? Smoked Mozzarella Fonduta and Fettuccine Alfredo really get me going. Unfortunately, I had to move to Europe a few years ago (as a white, gay, atheist scientist in his early 20's the oppression I had to face on a daily basis became simply unbearable) and am hence rather restricted in my culinary choices. Every second week, however, I board a plane to Italy in order to visit Olive Garden's trainee camp there and subsequently indulge in eating orgies the likes of which have never been seen on this Earth, mark my fucking words.
LinkFixerBot: During all the years visiting my favorite, family friendly restaurant, I've memorized the entire menu, enabling me to place my order without wasting time reading. That's why I have more time to admire the beautiful interior, the friendly staff, and the colorful and elegant decoration. It's like you're actually IN Italy yourself.
A_Cylon_Raider: Well they have frozen Coke for a limited time only. A small for less than a dollar!
reese_ridley: I have an ongoing love affair with seafood, so any time I see shrimp fra diavolo or a chile-rubbed Sea Bass I'm sold. I'm not a huge fan of cream sauces, so I'll go for the spicy tomato base every time.

Which two nouns would use if you were to name a restaurant?

reese_ridley: Well, I would want my restaurant moniker to reflect the bravery of a middle-class American entrepreneur struggling to make his way in the world. Is the name "Ron Paul" trademarked?
Suspended_Animation: As an Italian immigrant whose first language isn't English, I had to dust off on my grammar. A "noun" is a person, place, or thing. When I think about my childhood, growing up on the Italy countryside, I think of all the lush and beautiful gardens. I remember running through the gardens, chasing my brothers and sisters, and then dining on the finest cheese and olives at lunch time. Italy is especially known for their olives. I have a lot of childhood memories in Italy, so if I had to name my restaurant, I would definitely call it "Olive Garden."
A_Cylon_Raider: Burger and King.
CircleJerkAmbassador: Well, I really like Italian food. Nothing says Italy like Olive. I love them so much that I think a Garden of them would be absolute Heaven. Hmm, maybe a combination of those two. What do you think? I'm thinking something around A Garden of Olives?? Maybe we could shorten that. It sounds too much like A Game of Thrones.
MrTyphoon: If I were to name an authentic italian restaurant, I'd want a name that would bring back the essence of Italy. Italy is famous for its olive gardens, so I think Olive Garden would be perfect.

Say you were asked to speak out on behalf of a restaurant. Would you be willing to do that?

eyjafjallajoekull: You might not have noticed but I'm a huge aficionado of Olive Garden, so if I were to be asked to speak on their behalf, I would just reiterate what they've been saying for years, because it's true: When you're here, you're family! Olive Garden is what the American dream is all about. While Olive Garden has certainly gotten quite a bit of unfair criticism (see for example this insane rant), we will never back down from our staunch stance against any kinds of restrictions against free speech, whether they be SOPA, ACTA or Puma. We're not here to pander to any phony lobbyist's sensibilities and we're thankful that attractive Redditors everywhere have taken notice, not just of our political righteousness but also of our delicious and unlimited breadsticks, amongst them even a couple of admins as evidenced here, here and here (or here, respectively). We have thus come to the conclusion that Redditors constitute a major share of our customers and will henceforth be offering discounts of up to 30% to them. provided they sufficiently prove that they are part of this secret community by whispering „when does le narwhal bacon?“ when entering one of our family-friendly restaurants. At least, that's what I would say, and I think that it's reasonable to assume that this will soon become a reality, seeing as Olive Garden's staff is highly enlightened and logical.
reese_ridley: Hell yes I would. I honestly don't know why more companies don't do this. I'm a poor college student, I'd shill all over the place for a $50 gift card or something. A man's gotta eat, yo.
ArchangelleGabrielle: no absolutely not i cannot stand shilling especially on a site as pure as reddit (please visit /hailcorporate[1] to learn more)
CircleJerkAmbassador: Well if they were an amazing authentic restaurant I totally would. Pretty much, as long as I feel like family there I'd be willing to do them a favor. Think about it, if your own mother asked you to do a simple favor, would you? If not you're a cold hearted bastard.

Why breadsticks?

LiterallyKesha:BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKED.
I'm fucking welling up, sis.
/sigh/ so much beauty in our little online community on this isolated social media website.
H-Hold me fellow diners.
For all the dippers, munchers, whether you're visiting, posting, lurking, sipping, consuming, frequent dining, enjoying that last final bite, or even started your first morsel; the salad dressers, the pasta seasoners, the satisfied customers, the alfredo>everything believers, the vegetarians, the employees and even the Italians at heart who just want a little taste of home.
Often we forget why we're here, our motivation changes as time goes on, as do our goals for ourselves in life. We keep progressing, always changing, always adapting. Many of us have been through the worst of shit, left in the dirt feeling worthless and we never wanted to feel that away again, so we lifted a breadstick, sipped some soup - whatever we could to feel strong and worthwhile, to feel like family, we built ourselves, then rebuilt ourselves again and we mould ourselves still...from that same ball of clay until we got what we wanted.
Millions won't know of our dedication, loss and self sacrifice. They'll take for granted how satisfied you are and what it takes to stay that way, but for you - its your religion now, its no big thing, you eat, sleep and live this because its what you understand most, its fundamental to who you are now, and all of us started somewhere and are constantly giving a leg up to others on a daily basis and we spread our love through gift cards.
Forgive my sappiness, but I really do think that's pretty fucking amazing and lord forbid if this place was to close sometime soon, I thought i'd be one of many who said what they were thinking.
Thank you Olive Garden.
But thank you everyone else here also.
There will be breadsticks in heaven. I promise you this.
ArchangelleGabrielle: Adrian Chen, Rebecca Watson, and MittRomneysCampaign walk into an Olive Garden.
Chen says to the smoking hot blonde waitress, "I'm a journalist, I try to find order in chaos and bring chaos to order. So I'll have the spaghetti marinara, and fuck reddit, it's full of pedos."
Watson says to the waitress, "I'm a skeptic, a feminist, and a blogger. I'm trying to make the world a better place. So I'll have the unlimited soup and salad bar, because fuck the patriarchy."
MRC says to the waitress, "If variance from perfect 50-50 distribution was always indicative of oppression, this would mean that all instances of such variance were cultural, and there weren’t other factors (biology or chance) influencing decisions. This is not even close to true.
But suppose you modify your claim and just say “most” variance from 50-50 is oppression. That’s better, but still weak, and a number of alternate explanations exist. For example, the gender distribution of violent prisoners is overwhelmingly male. Is this because the patriarchy constructs gender roles that hurt men and cause them to act out in aggressive ways? Possibly. But then why do some men act more aggressively than others? Are they just more patriarchy-affected? There is already an explanation for this, and it holds a lot of water: testosterone plus stupidity. Very high or very low levels of testosterone are associated with risk tolerance, and stupidity is associated with violent crime; more men are at the lower end of the intellectual curve due to greater variance, and more men will be more likely to have high testosterone. [...]
reese_ridley: First of all, the breadsticks are unlimited. This might seem like a logistical impossibility but I assure you it's true. Secondly, since you're paying a finite amount of money for an infinite quantity, the price of each individual breadstick can be thought of as $6.95/infinity, which mathematically translates to zero. So not only are you getting unlimited breadsticks, but with a little dose of logic n' science^tm you're actually getting free unlimited breadsticks! Sagan himself couldn't design a more perfect reward for us mortals.
CircleJerkAmbassador: Why? Why not? Breadsticks are great alone, with soup, and even with salad along with various cream based sauces. It's the tastiest, most versatile meal you can have! Sweet salty butter, combined with a hint of garlic and baked to perfection. A browned crust (not too light or dark), yet somehow tender and soft enough as if you were eating the cloud God himself was standing on. Warm like a mother's womb, and even a symbolization of the dismantling of racial conflicts in America by showing every single person with hate in their heart that a crispy flavorful brown crust can intermingle with its soft and doughy white neighbor to make a perfect match that compliments one another to make a peaceful and blissful whole.
A breadstick is just a breadstick. It does not matter the color of its skin, or the color of its heart. They are both beautiful.
eyjafjallajoekull: I am the dressing of my salad,
Flour is my Body and Sauce is my Blood,
I have created over a Thousand Breadsticks,
Unknown to Bertucci's,
Nor known to Carrabbas
Have withstood satiety to feed many families,
Yet those Hands will never hold Salad. So, as I order,
Unlimited Bread Sticks.
A_Cylon_Raider: What?
MANBOT_: What the fuck did you just fucking order, you little customer? I’ll have you know I graduated Employee of the Month at Olive Garden, and I’ve waited numerous tables with delicious Italian cuisine, and I have served over 300 confirmed breadsticks. I am trained in serving soup and salad and I’m the top waiter in the entire state branch of the franchise. You are everything to me but just another customer. I will treat you the fuck politely with courtesy the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with paying for unlimited soup and salad? Think again, sir. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of traditional Italian chefs across the room and your table is being traced right now so you better prepare for the first course, friend. The course that wipes out the pathetic little thing we call hunger. You’re fucking served, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can serve you over seven hundred breadsticks, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in waiting tables, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Olive Garden menu and I will use it to its full extent to satisfy your miserable cravings off the face of the continent, you wonderful person. If only you could have known what delicious entree your little Italian restaurant was about to bring down you, maybe you would have held off on the breadsticks. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying a one-time cheap price, you goddamn genius. I will serve unlimited soup all over your table and you will drown in it. You’re fucking family, kiddo.
