I attempted Olive Garden's Never-Ending Pasta Bowl. It was a reminder of why chains can't quit bottomless deals.

I tried Olive Garden's endless pasta deal. I could only get through two bowls before I wanted to tap out, but it was incredible value. Erin McDowell/Business Insider Olive Garden is back with its endless pasta promotion for those brave enough to try. I visited the chain and ate my way through three bowls of pasta, plus salad and breadsticks. It's clear to me why casual-dining chains across the industry love bottomless deals. Why stop at seconds when you can go back for thirds, fourths — even fifths? I recently visited Olive Garden's flagship Times Square restaurant for my first-ever meal at the chain . While I couldn't wait to try its iconic breadsticks, there was one specific deal I was gunning for: Olive Garden's Never-Ending Pasta Bowl, which starts at $14.99, depending on location.
