of course they do - and they are well known for taking another's recipe and giving it an exotic name so that it looks like they invented it themselves - they probably used soy sauce and decided it should be called something with the name "Chinese" in it - but if sweetnsour could give the name of the restaurant - I could go through my notes and see if I have the recipe - I have a lot of recipes from al different types of restaurants - even the unpopular ones!
Wow! mama that's really nice. I don't know the name of that restaurant but next time I know whom to ask for when I am falling in love with the stuffed mushrooms at Olive Garden!

sweetnsour - do you need this??
Olive Garden Stuffed Mushrooms
2 large pkgs button mushrooms, washed
1 can chopped clams, drain and put through food processor
1/4 - 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 - 1 cup REAL butter (do not substitute)
1/2 - 3/4 cup Fresh Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 - 3/4 cup Fresh Romano cheese, grated
1 - 1 1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella cheese
1/2 carrot, finely chopped (food processor is best)
1-2 cups Seasoned Bread Crumbs
1-2 cloves garlic, mince
1 egg
Remove stems from mushrooms and place in food processor with carrot, onion, and clams.
Once finely chopped, place in saucepan with garlic and about 1/4 - 1/2 cup butter. Saute until tender.
Mix cheeses together, leave about 3/4 cup aside.
Mix stem mixture, bread crumbs, egg and cheese together.
Mixture should pack well and not be wet or crumbly - add to mixture as
you see fit.
Stuff mushrooms and place in a 13x9 baking dish. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top, cut butter into pats over top of cheese.
Bake at 350 until mushrooms are fully cooked.
Broil about 5 minutes to brown the tops.
Remove from oven and serve immediately.
