    Can we just take a moment to appreciate the evolution of Raphael's cooking skills? He's so much more confident in the kitchen now. Love it.

    As someone who hasn't even seen an Olive Garden in their life (wrong country and all that) I am waaay too invested in seeing these videos xD
    I also really appreciate the recipes in the description, so thanks for that!

      The copycat Alfredo is worth it! I haven’t tried Raphael’s version of the copycat yet, and when I made it my garlic didn’t fully dissolve in the sauce. So I did it slightly wrong, and it still tasted almost identical 😅I will be trying it again soon with the proper technique lol

  • @SheriLynNut
    @SheriLynNut ปีที่แล้ว +154

    The only thing that makes me question it as authentic is, (as a former restaurant owner), the quantities are not written in typical restaurant amounts. But maybe they made it so the average person could make it?
    Whatever the case may be, I’m here for you trying them!

      @raphaelgomes  ปีที่แล้ว +88

      I agree with you and specially comparing with the Panda Express recipes these are way more home cook friendly?? At the same time I can't argue with the way they taste. If I didn't think they were legit I would have just deleted it from the video 💙

      I think every restaurant makes a portion of 1 dish or sth and then they transfer it into the measurements of choice depends on the need of the dishes!! But you know better for sure since you used to own one!!!

    Always cook flour n butter mix for thickening such as for mack n cheese and the alfredo sauce for a few min b4 adding liquid because it helps you not have a flour taste .

    Canes uses Cajun seasonings. Tony Chachere specifically. It's basically an allspice. ALSO! If you go to Canes again you should ask for their honey mustard. They use sour cream in it.

    My local olive garden will actually give you their Alfredo sauce recipe, but it's in quarts. They say it's too expensive for most people to make it at home. So, they people will come in still even if we know the recipe. 😂💀

    That Olive Garden has since deleted these recipes saddens me. Don't they know the internet is forever? May as well just maintain the brownie points from leaving them up.

    Hi Raphael, In one of these type of videos you should try Skyline Chili or Gold Star Chili. It's a favorite here in Kentucky and Ohio. It's a German style chili over spaghetti, topped with onions (if you like), lots of cheese and oyster crackers. You can buy the seasoning packets on line for both, to make it homemade or you can get Skyline frozen. I'd love to see you try this. I think you might love it.
