Sorry, thought you were a bot --

I'm not sure what you mean, could you expand? Do you mean Sysco?

Also, I don't think this is really the same as canned food... I'm thinking more of the case where there's a relatively large restaurant with lots of cooks in the kitchen (or even multiple kitchens)




I missed your comment until today. Sysco is a giant company that supplies food material to restaurants. I've read that even at supposedly fancy restaurants, if you order soup, it's likely to be canned. If you order meat, it's pre-cooked in a bag, and is re-heated by throwing in boiling water.

It probably saves money and could be more sanitary. On the other hand, it kinda diminishes the appeal of restaurant dining for me.


Ah, yeah, I've heard of Sysco, they served my school lunches way back when.

And yes, what you're saying is probably true... in that case this wouldn't do very much good, I think. Maybe the idea of a restaurant that still makes it's food completely from scratch at every order is farfetched nowadays


Indeed. I think it's in France where the government has tried to create a legal definition for a restaurant that prepares food on site, and from what I read, they still ended up with a variety of weird loopholes.
