Almost-Famous Rosemary Bread

You can’t get much for free these days, but diners have been eating insane amounts of free rosemary bread at Macaroni Grill since the first one opened in Leon Springs, TX, in 1988. Founder Philip J. Romano decided to serve the bread so the restaurant would seem more like his Italian mother’s kitchen, and now it’s the standard welcoming bite at all 200 locations. Sure, a mall parking lot doesn’t exactly scream Italy, but Romano figured hot bread, along with an opera soundtrack and some jugs of wine on the table, would help diners feel a little closer to Tuscany.
