A WRITER has claimed to have uncovered the behind-the-scenes secrets of one of the most famous Olive Garden locations in the US.
Twitter was captivated when Joe Wadlington first shared his story in 2017 after telling his followers about a date he went on with a former Olive Garden employee who worked at the famed Times Square branch.
His account went viral with news outlets covering the insider secrets revealed by the unnamed man.
So what exactly did the date reveal?
According to Joe, the date claimed to be a general manager of the restaurant in New York City.

They also noted that the three-floor restaurant may be the "biggest in the world" with wait times of two hours.
Jim went on to ask about the famous breadsticks, and what happens if they run out.
He wrote: "Q Did y'all ever run out of breadsticks? If so what happened?
"A Yes. Twice. Worst shifts of my life. People were angry, kept telling us 'no.'
"They kept saying, 'OLIVE GARDEN DOESNT DO THAT, our Olive Garden, in Ohio, doesn't do that.'"
Joe also asked about charges in the restaurant with the former worker claiming the NYC branch charged city prices.
"Q: National pricing or city pricing? A: City pricing. It made no sense why the Americans were there," he added.
The date added: "They were paying 3x for the same food."
The former worker also revealed the most popular choice to be the tour of Italy, a combination of lasagna, a chicken parmesan, and fettuccine alfredo.
And in his most startling admission, Joe claims the former worker described the day there was a knife fight in the restaurant.

Two women who "came together" began fighting before they both grabbed a knife from a table, he adds.
But it was still not the worst shift at the restaurant, he adds.
That was reserved for the days the breadsticks ran out.
"You may be surprised, but yes, Olive Garden running out of breadsticks is worse than a knife fight," the date is reported to have added.
The US Sun has contacted Olive Garden for comment.
