Is the Olive Garden reference a metaphor or other abstract thing like Fresh Plum? I thought it was a restaurant chain in the US.

I imagine it just means that Nick is a recent graduate whose last job was at a restaurant. I worked at O'Charley's in college before I got my first dev job.

I think I had Nick as a server at the Olive Garden, once. I'm pretty sure he's a better engineer than a waiter. I did get a free Sprite off of him though.
