Do you really think Olive Garden has a cooking school in Tuscany like the commercial says?

Question

Seems hard to believe.

Answer 1

Hilarious.  No.

Answer 2

I'd have guessed they don't but according to their website they do!  Go figure!

Answer 3

They say the do!

Answer 4

Yes, why not?

I know someone who claims he went to Subway's Sandwhich University.

Answer 5

I used to work there. The General Manager of the restaurant is the only one that goes to Italy. They have to be with the company for a certain amount of time.  And they only do DEMOS they don't train them as chefs.But Guess what?? the General Manager is not going to cook your food when you go to eat there, a $9 an hour young kid with no cooking experience will.

At the OG that I used to work in, it was all young kids with kids already and Haitians that barely spoke english the ones that where cooking the food. It was very unsanitary too.

That is why I will never step in an Olive garden again in my life.

Answer 6

Lol no.

Answer 7

Nope.

Answer 8

They have some kind of school. I'm sure they have some type of chefs to invent new foods. But that's as far as it goes. I am not an Olive Garden person. It's all premade. I even asked our one food purveyor, and he said that it was premade. That's why it looks the same as on the menu.

But I"m sure they have a school to experiment and try new things.

Answer 9

they might but i highly doubt that every single cook that they higher goes there to train!!!
