“What Was Your Family’s ‘Celebration Restaurant’ Growing Up?” — Viral Twitter Thread Reminisces

Growing up in a stereotypical Midwestern town, our choices for celebration restaurants were based on which had the shortest wait time. It was usually between Olive Garden, Outback Steakhouse, or Benihana.

Many other restaurants were mentioned in this thread by people sharing their family’s go-to celebration spot, and I can confidently say that I have been to almost all of them at least once for a special occasion.

If you’ve ever worn a tie in an Olive Garden, this thread is for you.
