To my knowledge, I've never had roasted garlic in a restaurant -- just what I've roasted myself. And I've never seen any kind of recipe for roasting garlic that said to use elephant "garlic."

Not that I doubt that restaurants might call "elephant garlic" garlic and not even know the difference, though -- we once had dinner at a pretty nice place that listed a special as some dish or other accompanied by "sugar beets."
