I Am a Host at the Olive Garden

Interesting that the man looks like a person of color. We get such a bad rep from stuff like this.

Oh gawd, I read this strip about six months ago and died a little every second. I used to be a hostess at Red Lobster (sister restaurant), and that comic is pretty dead on.

As for the racial thing, I understand the discomfort, but since this is based on that guys actual years of working at Olive Garden, it doesn't bother me. He probably just didn't think twice about it - assuming that the customer was actually black. But hey, it's complicated, and I'm not the artist. ::shrug::

Damn good strip, though.

A small serving of grilled chicken or fish, either steamed veggies or salad with vinaigrette, brown rice or grilled sweet potato and a small glass of red wine.

Wow. I saw a person "of color" too. But the color was red. As in, the stereotypical trailer-trash redneck. Since hubby's from the South, maybe I should be insulted? Let me think...

Nope.

Sarahthegreat: Nooo! I can assure you we didn't think of race when posting this cartoon. I don't even think I read the character as a person of color until you pointed it out. I was concentrating more on what the cartoon bubbles were saying—and thinking of my own days in food service (if you can call the concession stand at a movie theater "food service") and all the crazy questions and requests I got from people of all races. ("Can you put nacho cheese on my popcorn?")

Rice and veggies. So quick to make and you can change up the sauce to match your mood!
