Here's some more information on that viral Olive Garden review I was talking about. Evidently, the review was written by Marilyn Hagerty, an 85-year old food "critic" for the Grand Forks Herald, a small-town newspaper in North Dakota.
"Long-awaited Olive Garden receives warm welcome"
All kinds of people have weighed in on this event. Hagerty's son, who is a journalist for The Wall Street Journal, wrote about it, as have people for The Los Angeles Times, The Huffington Post, and other publications. Even the cooking and review God Anthony Bourdain has decided to publish the review.
Clearly, Hagerty has captured something important in her review, or are we all just a culture that has devolved into the art of ridiculing other people? I'm not sure.
