Its a japanese word that’s been co-opted by the porn industry. Ivan Orkin’s cookbook has a recipe for bukkake udon where he tells a little story about the word. According to Orkin the word means something like splash with so…

I’m trying to imagine any way in which one of those can go right.
Jeff Foxworthy had a joke about Olive Garden (paraphrased)
(JF to relative) “Hey, I heard y’all got a new Italian restaurant in town. Is it any good?”
(Relative) “Well, it’s no Olive Garden, but it’s awwright.”

Yeah. Serious Eats version of the recipe starts with a disclaimer:
- I’m relatively confident that no English-language article has ever been written about bukkake udon without a joke … I wish this one were different, but there’s no way to get around it … let’s just get it out of the way. Tee hee, hoo hoo, ha ha, lolz, lmfao, rotfl, and all the rest. Okay, now that we’re all giggled out, let’s be clear: Bukkake udon has no relationship …except that the word describes the act of splashing liquid on something.

Fun read. While I will admit to an enduring fondness for OG’s salad and zuppa toscana, those are literally the only reason I will ever set foot in one, and even then, only if I happen to be out shopping or something in an area that has no non-chain options. Bukkake party is too kind a euphemism for most of their pastas!

at the b*kkake references.
If Im in a group and get out voted, at least the soup and salad and breadsticks will get me through.
Everything else is buried in cheese and cream, so not psossible for me even if it looked good.
I must have lived a very sheltered life but at least I learned a new word today

I doubt if the cream is real, nor the quality of the cheese high. Blah
Definitely not worth thenprice I would pay.
True that, in your case. I would only pay the price of the dinner, and that doesn’t seem a great value, either.
My honeymoon with Olive Garden ended decades ago when my sister worked there and told me that the fresh pasta that was produced jn the front lobby was carried back to the kitchen, gathered into a ball, then carried back out to the lobby and run through the pasta maker again. She said this went on until the gluten was so devoped that it wouldnt roll anymore, then the cooks would hand over another ball of flour and water dough to sacrifice to the machibe.
