Like many things, dining out feels more expensive than ever. So, when Steven John chooses to do it, he wants to be sure he's getting his money's worth. In search of good value and tasty dishes, he decided to compare similar meals at chain restaurants near his home in Long Island, New York. First up: Olive Garden and Red Lobster. Both American casual-dining chains have several hundred locations, mostly in the US and some outside it, and feature complimentary bread alongside their extensive menus. At each, he tried to order the same meal: fried calamari as an appetizer, a shrimp Alfredo pasta as his entrée, and chocolate cake for dessert. See how his meals at the chains compared at the link in our bio. Review by Steven John (Credit: Getty Images) #olivegarden #redlobster #restaurantchains
