Original Title: TIL A restaurant in Long Beach, CA, was found to be serving Popeye's chicken and passing it off as their own. They would buy the chicken at Popeyes and upcharge for their own chicken and waffles dish. Once found out the owner refused to apologize.

No. I run a bar and don't deal with Sysco whatsoever. Fucking garbage is what they bring. For example, the boxes of wings i get cost 80 dollars more than sysco wings, but they're old breed chickens with thick skins and strong bones, non rubbery meat, they don't grow to market weight in anywhere near the time the modern NA meat breeds do, these chickens taste like 1985. I don't have to batter them, they don't taste like shit. The extra money is worth it in customers actually wanting to eat the food here.

Tompkins, Saskatchewan. The wings are imported from Brazil.
