Ok starcatchr... We are gonna have to make you our official restaurant reviewer!!!
Kris and I ate together at the Olive Garden tonight and at least one of us had a wonderful server named Anna....
Yummy DELICIOUS if you can stand the wait...
Wonder why they don't branch out to say... Brassfield?
If anyone decides to open a Olive Garden Franchise over this way, please double the parking lot. Thank you.

Cracker, my husband says he wants to get the franchise for the northwest side of town. I think we'd be millionaires. I have never been there and not had a wait. That parking lot is a zoo!
Starcatchr - so glad you had a great Laddies & Dukes dinner!

There's gotta be a reason someone hasn't opened another one somewhere in town yet....
I'd like just a small piece of that business!

Sounds like a partnership in the making Cracker 
It would severely cut into my computer time to have a restaurant to worry about though

We'll hire good staff and steal Anna. And we'll add on a computer room.
Next to the breadstick storage room.

You could just build the wireless system into it -- then advertise as a cyber restaurant -- like a cyber cafe.... Then you'd have even more business, with people logging onto their laptops all during their meal, or while they wait out on the bench in the lobby.
Oh, wait... Then you'd be able to identify each other, because you'd say where you were, what you were doing, who your server was, where you were sitting... You'd look over your shoulder, and there on your neighbor's screen, you'd see what you had just posted!!!
dododoooodo...dododoooodo
And then you'd choke on the breadsticks you'd been chowing down on!
I guess we'd better not incorporate that feature into it after all!! ♥♥♥

After I logged off, I thought of a name... but I dozed off again....
Anyway, (or ANyway, as Bama would say) IF you don't purchase an Olive Garden franchise, but instead decide to go with your own establishment...
You could call it (ta-da!) MUCHADO!(Get it? As in "Much Ado....")
♥♥♥

| The developer who bought the land where "Teresa's" was would love to have someone establish a nice restaurant there...

MUCHADO! I love it!
Macca's MUCHADO
I think we're over that big idea now. I'll let Macca have Teresa's old spot Macca, let us know when you're open! Love the cyber-idea. Be sure you serve breadsticks

Olive Garden -- Avoided.
Wanted to mention a great restaurant on Market St. It is called Nikita, it is Indian cuisine. If you have never had the pleasure of trying indian, do it. The variety and flavor differences based on northern- or southern-Indian cooking a huge. Afterall you are talking about a country of 1 billion+ people, with a culture that vastly predates europe's. This country is the heart of world's spices.
Nikita serves a lunch and dinner buffet as well as a full menu option. The lunch buffet is $7, it includes several chicken and vegetarian dishes, rice, naan( a type of indian flat bread ), condiments (chutney-relish and raita -a cucumber dressing of sorts, yum), and desserts (usually a sweet rice pudding). The dinner buffett is just $10 a person.
All the food is quite excellent, the owner is friendly and helpful in explaining everything. The atmosphere is very clean, they do catering, parties, etc.
You should check them out. It will expand your food-world.

| I realize this isn't EXACTLY a restaurant review, but it IS about food... so I'll go for it... The Maccas are going to pick up some Brunswick stew from Gideon Grove United Methodist Church tomorrow. Saw it in the NWO today ... We like the stuff and these local recipes are usually pretty good.♥♥♥

I have several restaurants that I think are especially good. We eat at Cafe Pasta on Wednesday nights when Buff &T are singing and playing there. They play every other Wednesday night. Buff has just moved to Summerfield. Cafe Pasta has good Italian food. They are on State St. One of the waiters Mark Henry is a NW graduate.
Another place that we just recently found is the Phoenix over next to Butlers where the new Harris Teeter is. Excellent Pad Thai. Everything we have had has been fresh and well seasoned and cooked. It is Japanese Thai cooking mostly.
The third favorite place is on Tate St. Sushi 101. I learned to love Sushi, which by the way does not necessarily contain raw fish, when living in Guam. This place has excellent Sushi. It is a small hole in the wall with lots ot UNCG students there.
Those are my 3 favorites right now unless you are going to Wrightsville Beach at which point my all time favorite restaurant is Portland Grille in the Lumina Shopping Center. The owner/Chef and his wife are former Greensboro Residents. The food is out standing but they are pricey.
Ok now I am hungry.
