The New York area is full of diners with enormous menus that are not chains. Quality varies highly (and often not correlated with price), but I believe it's mostly made in-house.
- cm2012 8y agoIt definitely varies, but diners bulk buy most of their stuff from national distributors for sure. Nuggets, fries, burgers, meatloaf, gyro meat, etc.
- morogop 8y agoThe items are made mostly by Sysco.
- xapata 8y agoMade in-house in the sense of thawed and microwaved in-house. I learned quickly to stick with the handful of items that are eaten frequently. Everything else tastes like it came off the assembly line a few months ago.
- magic_beans 8y agoJust because it's made in-house doesn't mean it's good.
- draw_down 8y agoMany/most of those places are just a facade for Sysco, which is the actual "chain", if you will.
