Good people of the lower 48, you have no idea how Alaskans have longed for an Olive Garden. Eater National says that the first Alaskan Olive Garden opens on Monday in Anchorage: "Now the 5,154 fans of the 'We want an Olive Garden In Anchorage!!!' Facebook group will be satiated." As Anchorage resident (and Flickr user Keltron) sagely noted, "If I could, I will tell Anchorage this, 'It's not the 2nd coming of The Messiah, it's a restaurant that serves pasta'." [-EN-]
