And you'd be correct. The only pork I've seen on their menu (other than
sausage as an ingredient) is, IIRC, Pork Filettino. which is OK but not
earth-shatteringly tasty.

The only times I darken OG's doorsteps is with a group and I have been
dragooned. I consider them to be the McDonalds of Italian grub. OTOH,
there is a chain of "quick serve" Italian places called Fazoli's where
I make a point of having either lunch or supper if I'm near one. None
in my town - but the St. Louis area has several - on both sides of the 
river. They are on a "quick serve" rather than a fats food plan and
thay often have AYCE specials on things I particularly like - as in
baked spaghetti. Especially their pizza-baked spaghetti.
