I made the mistake of ordering late-night cookies, for stoner reasons. The photos looked decent and ignoring the price gouging I hit SUBMIT They were absolutely terrible, like the garbage frozen cookies that SYSCO sells to restaurants. I bet you know how this ends. Zoomed in on the map where they were supposedly from. And it was a Pizza shop that also sold the same awful cookies.

Yep. The old wacky tobaccy will make you do that kind of thing. Back in the ‘80s I managed to go through an entire bulk warehouse sized box of Cheezits in an evening… dipping each crispy cheesy square in a quart sized jar of butterscotch Carmel sauce. Good times…

This happened to us with late night mac and cheese. There's a pretty awesome local mac and cheese restaurant called Home Room in Oakland and UberEats showed one near us on the Peninsula. It was TERRIBLE. Microwaved mac and cheese sludge still frozen in the center. Nowhere in the ballpark as tasty as the one from the actual restaurant. Turns out a ghost kitchen opened 5 pseudo-locations all over the Bay Area but instead of the actual food from the restaurant it was SYSCO microwaved food. It was actually shocking to me how and why the original restaurant was willing to dilute their brand name with that sludge. Meanwhile that ghost kitchen location 6899 Mission Street in Daly City churns out a bunch of other brand name restaurant food that aren't actually located there. Googling the address in Daly City shows a "Local Food Hall" https://www.grubhub.com/restaurant/local-food-hall-daly-city-6899-mission-st-daly-city/1946637 https://www.grubhub.com/restaurant/local-food-hall-daly-city... Park Mediterranean, a Humphry Slocombe, a Subway and also Dosa all at the same address. And the "Local Food Hall" has locations with other restuarants cobbled together in Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Milbrae and San Jose.
