If you've never worked in food before, you may be unaware that borderline half of the foods you eat, in restaurants, hospitals, prisons, even schools, are just the same frozen foods from Sysco. Their products are sold nationally and are lower quality than the frozen foods you get at the grocery stores, sold at ridiculous markups at restaurants. Sysco UPFs are at best "mid" and usually worse. They also involve a lot of worker exploitation in Mexico and the far-east.
A popular meme variation in the chef community is as follows:
"Wait, it's all just Sysco?"
"Always has been"

- impish9208 1y agoAdd Sodexo and Aramark and you’ve got close to the entirety of food caterers and suppliers to schools, universities, prisons, etc.
- michaelsshaw 1y agoI've never heard of sodexo, but note that when aramark isn't operating restaurants themselves, they're mainly the towel guys.
