With more than 600 Olive Garden locations throughout the United States, Playboy.com is confident it will uncover the freshest ingredients for its sexiest "Girls Of" pictorial yet. As a special appetizer, Kendra Wilkinson, star of E!'s top-rated show "The Girls Next Door" and a huge fan of Olive Garden, will personally hand-pick the models to be featured in the exclusive Playboy pictorial.

Not only is it my favorite restaurant, but I always notice how cute the staff is. I look forward to finding the sexiest employees and giving them the opportunity of a lifetime -- to be featured in a Playboy pictorial." Candidates must be current Olive Garden employees to qualify.
