Olive Garden Is the Real True North, Says New Yorker Essay

Original: Olive Garden Is the Real True North

The New Yorker has published a piece declaring Olive Garden, the American Italian-American restaurant chain, to be 'the real true north.' The essay uses the chain, known for its unlimited breadsticks and salad, as a lens on North American identity and Canada's relationship with the United States. Readers are sharing the piece for its unexpected framing of a casual dining chain as a symbol that crosses the border.

Why now: A major magazine's playful claim that a US chain restaurant defines something quintessentially North American is striking and widely shared.
