Olive Garden returns fan-favorite endless pasta for limited time

Amidst the value meals and deals to lure customers back by companies, all-you-can-eat offerings are surfacing. From Buffalo Wild Wings to IHOP to Applebees, many chain restaurants are giving their fans a chance to stuff themselves with tasty food. Olive Garden will join the mix as they recently announced the return of their popular endless pasta offer.

Available now for those who are members of Olive Garden's eClub or followers of their social media accounts is the Never-Ending Pasta Bowl. And if you don't fall within the criteria just mentioned, the endless option is available to everyone on August 26 and runs until November 17.

As for more details on the announcement, it will allow those who purchase not only endless pasta but also unlimited breadsticks and soup. However, the best part of the return is it will only cost $13.99, the price that was seen before inflation.

Now, those who want to spice up their pasta can choose from 80 different flavor combinations while also having the ability to get endless toppings on the pasta for $4.99. And with all you can eat, you might as well go big or go home.

With this promotion returning, it is hard not to think about what happened with Red Lobster. The filing for bankruptcy after their endless shrimp special is a fate that a fellow Darden Restaurants company hopes doesn't happen to them.

Back to the food side, who doesn't love pasta? Is there anything better than stuffing your face with a carb overload of breadsticks and pasta on a Friday night after work while eating a salad to reduce the guilt? I sure can't think of anything that tops that.

Since I am retired from all-you-can-eat specials, I ask you, Guilty Eaters. Will you visit your nearest Olive Garden to chow down on some pasta?
