Akst: What price for salad & breadsticks?

But given glowing remarks Monday from the mayor and City Council, the city manager’s recommendation, the endorsement of this newspaper and the desire of residents, it’s safe to say DeKalb will loan the world’s largest restaurant corporation ($8 billion in annual sales) $900,000 to build an Olive Garden.
If we don’t, it would be a “deal breaker,” and DeKalb needs to show Darden Restaurants, Inc. (Olive Garden’s parent company) that we have “skin in the game.”
