Kendra Wilkinson, one of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends, is a huge fan of Olive Garden. Playboy tells us that in her hundreds of visits there she concluded that, "The waitresses are often as hot as the food." She decided to run a search to find the "Girls of Olive Garden." The winners will get to model for Playboy.
The Playboy website specifically states that this contest is not affiliated with Olive Garden. It doesn't strike me as a match with Olive Garden's image as a "comfortable, home-like Italian setting where everyone is welcomed as family and friends." Does your Grandma cook up and serve her spaghetti in the nude?

I would think that Olive Garden would love the free press, and a little spice is never a bad thing. If a pretty girl wants to pose for Playboy, more power to her!

I saw my grandma fry chicken while topless once.
Does the offer to pose in Playboy come with a free set of implants and a hair bleaching kit?

I remember when they did this with starbucks. My sister worked there at the time and all the employees where told if they where approached by a rep to turn it down, and if they didn't they would be fired.
So I'm betting Olive Garden will take the same stance.

Which IMO is stupid, if you look at it this way... What is better my $8-10 an hour job or getting a quick $20k and possibly some fame?
Oh no I'm going to lose my waitress job!!!

Geesh. What is this part of the Gawker network. Please Slashfood, don't go all Jerry Springer on us. The only porn I want to read about here is Food Porn. I've always loved how Weblogs have kept to the high road. Straight linking to Playboy is just bad and worse off you didn't even mark it NSFW. Please keep being the better blog company and don't go the low road.
