These Garlic Breadsticks with Loaded Dipping Oil are equally delicious and traumatic for us. We both used to serve tables in chain Italian restaurants, and 9/10 guests were willing to go to jail over not getting their garlic breadsticks fast enough. This is completely unrelated, but one time this couple came in—the man was probably in his 30s, the woman probably her 60s. They were celebrating their relationship anniversary. Well, everything was fine and beautiful until the woman started screaming at the man because he had talked to the server (who was also a woman). And by talk, we mean he asked for a drink refill or something pretty inconsequential. Then the woman stormed out into the parking lot with the man running after her (and of course half the service staff followed too lol). She got into her car and floored it and nearly ran the guy over. What’s the moral of the story? Only love is worth going to jail over. Not garlic breadsticks.
