Good Samaritan utilizes unlimited Olive Garden pasta pass to feed homeless
Some would use an unlimited pasta pass from Olive Garden to satisfy nothing but their deepest gluttonous desires. Matt Tribe of Ogden, Utah, however, utilized his pasta pass to feed the homeless.
In a video uploaded to YouTube on November 26, Tribe describes how he heard about Olive Garden's unlimited pasta pass promotion, and how he utilized his pass to feed friends and the homeless around his community.
Tribe told ABC his inspiration for the pasta giving.
Tribe has been chronicling his pasta-giving journey on the blog Random Acts of Pasta. Tribe details the date and each person he gave pasta to, while providing a background story on some of his more memorable encounters. Tribe says he's learned a lot throughout the process.
However, some have been skeptical of the whether Tribe's pasta-giving gestures are genuine, with many Reddit users claiming them to be a viral-marketing ploy by Olive Garden. Tribe and Olive Garden both refute these claims.
Since the original video was uploaded to YouTube, Random Acts of Pasta has garnered over 400,000 views and has attracted the attention of media outlets like TIME and ABC News. Tribe hopes that the viral fame will help inspire others to make a positive change.
