At least you’re safe from Vampires.

I’m suprised no one has asked ** this ** question.
beckwall, where do you live and what was the name of the restaurant? It sounds delightful.
Yum.
Too much garlic!
YUMYUMYUM!
Garlic mashed potatoes: Mash as usual, then add one fist of garlic per large potato. Kills vampires at 100 paces, always a big hit with the family. YUM!
I guess this isn’t the thread to mention that I’m allergic to garlic. A little bit won’t hurt me but more than that and I’ll break out in a rash especially around my nose and mouth. I’ve been to a few restaurants (mostly italian) where I broken out by the end of the meal.
Grace, I don’t want to alarm you, but … well … I’m pretty sure you’re a vampire!
That could explain why I can’t see my reflection in the mirror.
The Garlic Rose in Madison, NJ is another good garlic restaurant.
btw–their website is http://www.garlicrose.com/. Their motto: “Follow your nose to The Garlic Rose.” Heh heh.
I hate garlic! I hate the way it tastes, smells and makes me feel. If I needed to live I would die.
This opinion isn’t very popular.
Grace you have my sincere sympathy. There is one food I love as well that I can’t eat due to allergies (cucumbers). I always felt bad for myself about that, but now I can say “At least it’s not garlic.” 
I just last week made my notorious chili. Lots of different and unusual spices in it, but the kicker is, of course, I bulb of diced garlic cloves per gallon.
The secret is that you cook the chili. Then you let it cool. Then you cook it again, let it cool and reheat one more time before serving it. It takes a long time, obviously, but the blending and saturation of flavors you get kicks the snot out of anybody’s first run chili.
I think I’ll go grab that jar of garlic stuffed olives before I read any more threads now.
