25+ Olive Garden Memes That Will Fill up on Unlimited Breadsticks

Dinner at the Olive Garden is a quintessential American experience. It’s the same everywhere, and I think that’s beautiful.

Cheese curds are a singular delicacy so delicious I’ll forgive them for being a product of Wisconsin.

One thing I love about the Midwest is the way Midwesterners tell you bad news. They will bend over backward to see the good in something and sugarcoat it so hard that you come out with cavities. Some may appreciate bluntness, but I think there’s an art to beating around the bush. Not everyone can …

Nothing quite like springtime in the Midwest. The sun threatens to shine, the pollen is annoying the heck out of everyone, and you’re remembering just how pale your legs are as you put on shorts for the first time in months. I like to think of it as the great de-thawing.  On the first warm …

One thing I love about the Midwest is how obsessed we all are with cheese. Give us cheddar, give us pepper jack, heck, give us emmental. We will slice it, put it on a Ritz cracker, or grate it over tater tots and call it a casserole. And we will enjoy every gosh dang minute …

Ah, corn. The staple crop of the Midwest. It’s not uncommon to see fields and fields of it while driving through the middle of the country. Isn’t there even a name for the kind of madness that overtakes you when you’ve been staring at cornfields for too long? Corn hypnosis? Or am I making that …

Every region of the country has a certain ethos. The East Coast screams Kennedy vibes, American Revolution history, and crab cakes. The South of course is dripping with sweet tea, country music, and state-specific barbecue sauce. The southwest gives turquoise jewelry, desert landscapes, and artsy aunts. And the West Coast is all about avocado toast, …
