99% of restaurants are just reselling Sysco food anyway
Exactly. The headline could just as easily read "Customers discover their $30 meal is made with the same prepackaged food they serve down the street at a school cafeteria."
...last week i learned that the cafeteria food i grew up with was scratch-made; the reason it tasted the same everywhere wasn't because they all bought prepared foods from the same distributors, but because they all used the same USDA-provided recipes...
Many, many people need to realize that there are like 3 companies that own all food distribution in the US. People aren't talking out the ass when they say "late-stage capitalism"
After working in enough sysco-based restaurants I fucking hate eating out because that's all I can taste is sysco products. I only eat at places that make their stuff from scratch and that's hard to find, and spendy. But worth it.
