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.
99% of restaurants are just reselling Sysco food anyway
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”
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…
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.
