Do you or have you ever ordered spaghetti at a restaurant? I have found that most people have only ordered spaghetti at the spaghetti factory, and don't order at other places. To the best of my knowledge I have never ordered spaghetti at a restaurant, however I have never been to the spaghetti factory.

Dos equis.

Maybe beacuse we all know how easy it is to make it, so we know it isn't worth paying for.

True. The other day I was at Gianni's and had some gnocci. Man that **** was good. I always thought spaghetti would be good with some shrimp in it.

I love all that all of that ****. Have you ever eaten at Georgio's in S. Everett? That place is so damn good! I love their pizza.

No I don't think I have ever eatan there. I will keep them in mind, have to try them. I ate at buca de bepo once, that was pretty tasty. Kind of a weird atmosphere though. Two gin fizzes later and it was all good.

I am not a big fan of spaghetti...probably due to the "Eddie Spaghetti" childhood tauntings. When I go to an Italian restaurant, I always get chicken parm...can't get enough of it.

First off Spaghetti factory sucks, but that's beside the point. Honestly I don't think I have now that you mention it, kinda funny. It's just too easy to make or when I go out I want something I can't/don't make often at home... I dunno, actually this is an interesting topic to ponder! :lachuh:

Now you've just made a point that I've been trying to make to various people for a long time now.



Most italain food is a rip off. I refuse to pay $7 for noodels in some sort of a red sauce just cause they want to give it some fancy name. Want cheese stuffed inside the afore mentioned noodle? WHOO HOOO 12 bucks down the drain!



10 different dishes all named different just cause the noodle is thicker or thinner or they added a bit of sausage to it.



Rip off.

:bigok:

LMAO!! "Eddie Spaghetti"!! My friends and I were wasted the other night and he happened to come up! I totally forgot about him until the other night!



I agree with Spaghetti Factory sucks. End of story!



But, I will admit...I LOVE spaghetti...so YES, I have ordered it at a restaurant before! (Geez. Now I feel like a moron with your "it's so easy to make"...)



You know, the thing is: I can't cook. Nope. Not really even spaghetti. Oh I've tried. Somehow, I always end up with noodles in a sticky, slimy clump that I usually just have to throw out. And I grew up with my mom making sauce from scratch, so I have a real hard time eating the **** in a jar. Trying to make her sauce from scratch is just totally out of the question. One day, maybe...I just hate clean-up, too. I'd almost rather pay someone $7 for something I like and have them make it and clean it up, too...Plus, it'd probably taste better than mine...Even at the Spaghetti Factory. ???
