In today’s crazy world, there are plenty of reasons to be sad. Your sadness may derive from the knowledge that the polar ice caps are slowly melting and therefore changing the coastlines around the world or perhaps that innate sorrow stems from the great divide in our country as we struggle to find some sort of commonality in our individual ideals for society. But if you’re a guy named Monty, your sadness is coming from Olive Garden and the fact that they replaced Steak Gorgonzola.
I always believed that one person’s emotions were no more important than another person’s emotions, but thanks to Monty I no longer accept that. Monty has shown me that there are some levels of sadness that are simply more important than others. I mean, Steak Gorgonzola no longer being offered at Olive Garden? Yeah, that’s a grief unknown to most of us and we all need to band together to send Monty our love. Sure, Olive Garden offers a Braised Beef Gorgonzola-Alfredo, but it’s just not the same. We cannot expect Monty to let braised beef into his heart like he did with the steak. What if he falls in love with that dish only to have the culinary team at Olive Garden suddenly decide it’s no longer a viable option and rip it from the menu? Taking an item off the menu is easy, but taking it away from Monty’s heart is just plain cruel.
During Monty’s time of need, I ask that you all send him heartfelt prayers. If you were planning on praying for the victims of the flooding in Missouri or for those suffering in war torn countries on the other side of the world, please put those prayers on the back burner and focus on Monty instead, because this is serious.
And to you Monty, I offer this: I will do everything in my power to get that Steak Gorgonzola back on the menu so that your heart can mend. You may think it will never, ever be the same again, but maybe, just maybe, there is a God who will see your suffering and make things right for you. On your behalf, I have started a petition to get your beloved Steak Gorgonzola back on the Olive Garden menu and if enough of us sign it, maybe someday your heart can be whole again. Prayers to you, Monty. And all of my love.

Know wonder so many restaurants are closing up . The pandemic is winding down . But its bottom line the restaurants are cutting back on the selections by cost . Olive garden is one of the worst for that . Forced to eat in most nights . I’ve found the recipes for so many favorites . latest is that steak Gargenzolia . My O Charlie’s just closed. They used to bee packed most evening’s . But they changed the way they prepared their streaks over a grill . It was good . Especially for a family price place . They went to something like a flat iron fried style . I take mine Rare ..first one was well done ..Sent it back. Second was dripping with grease and sad looking . The manager said hex try again . That’s when I asked about the way it was cooked ? He said its the new cooker the company sent . I told him thanks but no thanks .

I apparently have been a home-body too long, as I am a year late to this common cry-fest, but I just went out to the Olive Garden tonight for my most favorite meal there (the Steak Gorgonzola), and I was also very heartbroken to not find it present on the menu. I refused to buy its replacement (the full steak meal), but I did order a side of the balsamic glaze to dip my shrimp scamp into, and let me say that even this current balsamic glaze is 100% missing some of its original pizzazz… RIP Steak Gorgonzola.

To be fair, I used to be a server / trainer for Olive Garden and the Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo was effing fire, man.
It was WAY too good for Olive Garden. I hope it finds a better home in a much more upscale restaurant.

Just found this looking for the recipe for Steak Gorgonzola from Olive Garden.
Do you know anywhere I can find it?
Thanks.

The only thing missing fm a note like that is a PS of “Btw: I’m a Vegan”.
You know, just to emphasize that they are going to be an asshole no matter what you do…

The restaurant I work at recently took Cedar Plank Salmon off the menu. I thought the local geriatrics were going to picket outside the restaurant the way some of them carried on (we have quite a few retirement communities around here). Kind of hard to hold up a sign and maneuver a walker at the same time, especially when one of the tennis balls slips off…
