I didn't really follow the premise of the original video. Can you find identical food at various locations throughout the country? Yes. Are you required to eat this same food? No!
You could likely order the things that local restaurant/pub does make in house, rather than go for the variety of items on the menu that are simply there to appease customers' fancies.
Or you could go to a proper restaurant that makes the majority of their dishes in house. You have this choice.
If Sysco and these other companies didn't offer pre-made jalepeno poppers and the like, they simply wouldn't be on the menu in the first place.
- nemomarx 1y agoWhat's a good way to tell which things are made in house and which are mass market? And I think Sysco acquiring other local suppliers does suggest that more menu items might be from them than were in the last at least

- fruitworks 1y agohow are customers going to tell in-house dishes from sysco premade dishes just by looking at a menu?
- burnt-resistor 1y agoThat's unrealistic. The problem is most restaurants in America exist in rural areas in commercial food deserts and are almost entirely dependent upon mega broadline suppliers that have merged into de facto oligopolies. Furthermore, by offering a wealth of finished items, in addition to ingredients and supplies, it's seductive to restaurants use these boring, lazy, pre-made offerings rather than cooking from scratch like respectable restaurants that do the work and pay the cost of sourcing quality ingredients, taking the time to do the preparation, and cooking good food.
