Wait, I'm confused. Is it a buffet, or do you order?
Also I am given to understand that "naan bread" means "bread bread"

They wonder and want to see a restaurant named after a world’s highest peak has its name chosen for the lowest level reading of Grand Forks.

real Nepali style
Unlike all those lame-ass fake Nepali joints in the North Dakota. I mean, some of those places don't even have real yak milk, let alone authentic chapatis. Sure, they will serve you dal bhat, but it's probably not proper Nepali dal bhat, because they use too much tamarind. Might as well just call it Pakistani food.
Sheesh.

from this review it sounds like grand forks doesn't have any other nepali / north indian / pakistani restaurants? that can't be the case surely.
there's a very midwest thing going on in the review of not acknowledging someone's national background / ethnicity (because it's rude to do so?) but also communicating strong "they aren't like us" vibes that is way too on-the-nose and very off-putting of course.
if this restaurant and review were in colorado we'd have three paragraphs about the magic of nepal and sanctification of the immigrant family with an orientalist flavor.

She returned to OG a decade later:
There are appetizers including meatballs parmigiana and spinach artichoke dip. Homemade soups and salads include minestrone and a creamy chicken and gnocchi with roasted chicken.
The choices are many in the restaurant with its large parking lot and large seating area in the south end of business in Grand Forks.
With friends and family, we found the familiar menu on a recent winter day. Five of us were seated in one of the large and homey dining areas. Service was good. Friendly.
We tried the fettucine alfredo, which is a favorite. The menu says it is made in house every day. The classic entrees include chicken or eggplant parmigiana, lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs, shrimp and chicken scampi. There are stuffed pastas including a new ravioli carbonara. And there is a choice described on the menu to create your own pasta. This gives a choice of pasta, a choice of sauce and a topping, if desired.
We found the Olive Garden a pleasant setting to visit with friends — Joel and Amy Medd along with son Bob Hagerty and granddaughter Carmen Hagerty visiting from Pittsburgh. The staff is very friendly at the Olive Garden. And on visits there I am reminded of days in March of 2012. That was the time that an Eatbeat column in the Grand Forks Herald caught the attention of national reporters. Some at first scowled at the attention given a chain restaurant. Then their fury turned to support. And there were calls from Fargo, New York, California, Florida. This writer was invited to widely discuss on national television the Olive Garden arrival in Grand Forks.

This speaks worlds about where Haggerty comes from. It has a different mindset.

I legit hope Carmen enjoyed her dinner.
(BTW our local Olive Garden, like our local Red Robin, has little electronic tablets at each table - once you have placed your drink order you can play trivia quizzes or Angry Birds-style games. Then you can pay and tip through it. Judge me as much as you like, but sometimes it's a godsend for a hyperactive toddler who cannot otherwise make it through an entire meal in a sit-down restaurant.)

Some people go to Florida. Some prefer Arizona. Maybe Texas.
Then there are those who prefer a motorcycle or sled ride over to the Snow Sled Inn near Crookston.
They go there by sled when the snow piles up. Many get there by motorcycle the rest of the year. They talk, they eat, and they just hang out.
Everybody seems to know everyone else. At least that’s how it was on a recent stop there with my niece, Joanne Jensen of Sacramento, Calif. She was hanging around on one of her occasional visits to the “hinterlands.”
