‘PASTA PASS’ MAKES ITS RETURN TO OLIVE GARDEN

Starting Thursday, pasta lovers will be able to vie for an all-youcan eat “Pasta Pass” from restaurant chain Olive Garden, allowing them to eat all the pasta, bread sticks and salad they desire for two months starting in late September. Diners will have a half-hour beginning at 2 p.m. ET to nab one of the 22,000 passes that are a ticket to partake in Olive Garden’s popular “Never Ending Pasta” bowl. The passes cost $100, but you’ll have to hurry. The restaurant chain says that last year, 21,000 pasta passes were gobbled up in one second.
