pork filettino is a winner
ormally, i avoid chain restaurants in general, and most particularly on trips – why would i travel hundreds or thousands of miles to eat the same thing? just seems silly to me. besides, the conversation and people are so much more interesting in places that don’t get hammered out of cookie-cutters.
Italian expert turns nose up at fare [usa today, july 17, 2004]Fourth course: Pork Filettino. Grilled pork tenderloin marinated in olive oil and rosemary, served with roasted potatoes.
Marcella looks distraught, unable to go on. Reluctantly, she turns to the pork. She takes a bite and suddenly brightens. “This is not bad. The meat is very tender. The potatoes are sautéed, so they catch the flavor.” She stops to weigh the importance of what she is about to say. “This is a winner.”
maybe… maybe i’ll have to drop in and try the pork filettino at olive garden. anyone hungry?
