>it's the same Sysco shit as everywhere else
Thank you for making all restaurant food taste the same, I'll cook at home instead.

>>21642737 (OP)
All matter is made up of quarks. You might as well just kill yourself

>>21642737 (OP)
Never fear, citizen.

>>21642742
I agree OP definitely should.

>>21642737 (OP)
It's just an impeccable food logistics system that makes accountants happy for having to only deal with one set of invoices. You could use Sysco to get good ingredients delivered, or make your restaurant taste like slightly differently cooked Applebees.

>>21642776
True. Dealing with their invoices is so much better than dealing with 6ft tall receipts from restaurant depot.

>>21642743
Ah, the people that supply prisons.

>>21642737 (OP)
You'll cook at home using food from the same grocery store supply lines as everyone else? Guess your cooking must be the same as everyone else's since you're using the same system to supply you with ingredients.

>>21642825
My food isn't made out of molecules, plebian.

>>21642737 (OP)
>it's the same Sysco shit as everywhere else
Unless you live in some extremely remote place where ingredients are extremely difficult to source I kind of doubt it. At least not for every locally owned restaurant.
>>21642825
You can still go to a farmer's market or co-op. Even some of the big retail chains are trying to do more local sourcing.

>>21642737 (OP)
>it's the same Sysco shit as everywhere else
Don't be American. Problem solved.

>>21642737 (OP)
Where can I buy directly from sysco?

>>21642828
>My food isn't made out of molecules
Let's see how that claim works out for you.

>>21643748
he's clearly on the trendy monad diet

>>21643298
They used to have a cash and carry but not anymore so you're SOL. Try a different brand cash & carry and they'll carry similar stuff from the same factories.
Or if you have a friend at a restaurant you can ask them to order something on your behalf and then pay for it under the table but be prepared to take a whole case of whatever you get to your freezer.

>it's the same Sysco shit as everywhere else
This simply isn't true and I don't understand why you people claim otherwise. Do you live in some weirdo area where Sysco has a total stranglehold on local food logistics or something? They force all local eateries to sell nothing but burgers and fries?
I very, very highly doubt Sysco have
• rabbit in gingerbread sauce
• roast duck with apples
• lamb and cucumber soup
• silken beef
• curried pompano
• bakwan tahu
• doro wat
• etc etc etc
as frozen ready meals to be reheated by restaurants.
Otherwise, Sysco just sell raw ingredients. It's no different than sourcing your stuff from the Piggly fucking Wiggly.

>>21642737 (OP)
just eat what you want, stop living for politics

>>21644932
uuuhh local eateries do NOT make shit like that. they do red lobster style cooking where you put it in the industrial microwave. yes you can even get ethnic food like plantains

Sysco does fresh produce too, don't they? Your average mom & pop diner or café probably just uses them for that or ingredients like bread, cheese, and pancake batter while cooking it their own way.

>>21642737 (OP)
The last time we went to a family restaurant, the staff was all ex cons and the waitress argued with my wife when they served shitty coffee.
We mostly eat home cooked food now. Service is so rude even at the good places now and everything is so expensive. Also, there's to much fucking salt in everything. You really notice it when you have leftovers at room temperature. It's like a fucking deer bait salt lick.

>>21645125
Bruh… hasenpfeffer and duck with apples aren't "ethnic food". Fucking Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck talked about that shit in 80 year old cartoons.
But if you ever get the chance to try silken beef, I can't recommend that shit enough. It's basically a spicy beef bratwurst on a fucking sword and shoved into a fire pit for a few minutes. It comes out all charred and delicious and many places that make it have the pit in full view of the diners so you can watch them mould the meat onto the swords and shove them in there, all fresh-like
The name might vary, though. In brown language, it's often called resham beef

>>21644932
No but sysco sells pretty much all the ingredients for these which upsets schizophrenics

>>21645319
Kinda.

The schizos on this board worked for conglomerate kitchens who ordered from the Sysco menu.

But if you have a nice restaurant in bumfuck Kansas and don't have the resources to buy a whole 50 thousand pound truck load of the best beef in the country packaged 50 miles from you, the middleman becomes important.

>>21645137
look into freshpoint

>>21644920
Thanks anon

>>21645125
>uuuhh local eateries do NOT make shit like that. they do red lobster style cooking where you put it in the industrial microwave.

What God forsaken fly over hellhole do you live in? Every time I hear shit like this it makes me glad I live in NJ where there is enough competition to keep food quality up. Also does Sysco even sell kosher or halal food?

>>21645921
I think anon was being facetious. It seemed fairly obvious to me from his use of uuuhh.

>>21645921
Yes they sell p much everything like for example the former sysco test kitchen chef in canada dominic could source us foie, iberico, caviar, waygu cut same day flown in on the charter jet contracts they had at the time
I don't understand this thread or calling a food distribution company "slop" when the orderer is at fault for buying said slop product.
if you order slop you get slop and serve slop it has nothing to do with the products they carry

>>21645941
Where exactly do you think steak comes from?

>>21645951
Farms with in house slaughter and butchery, butchers who buy cattle at auctionsband then process it themselves, food distribution companies where you can buy cuts from specific ranches that are processed for you
Do you have a point to make?

>>21645959
Imagine going through all this dramatics when I already said I picked up 50 thousand pounds of the best beef in the country at national carriers.

Bruh

>>21642743
These people didn't hire me in my hometown even though I've worked at Sodexo for 5 years at college

>>21645968
Slit your fucking throat you retarded animal i hope you get sideswiped by another trucker who doesn't know quality v quantity like you

Spend more money and eat at farm-to-table restaurants utilizing local products.

When I first saw someone post this, it went something like " when eating out its like seeing who can make the best sysco menu"
then it dawned on me....uhhh...no. There are so many different food providers...sysco, kuna, performance, yamasho, luckys, yadd yadda....its simply not true....plus if you want to go seasonal just get shit thats in season locally if you want to go bonkers.
idk OP youre a fuckin retard

>>21646295
There are only 3 national broadline distributors.

There are still a dozen or so larger regional distributors as well, and some smaller local ones, but the big 3 make up a significant chunk of the market.

>>21646282
I mean that's fun and all but I said all this shit back a decade ago. You can want to slit my throat all you want I've actually killed people in Afghanistan. But you are stupid as fuck.

Imagine learning about logistics and thinking it is evil.

I've killed men. I don't think sysco is evil.

>>21642776
It's an illegal monopoly that isn't broken up only because the US financial regulatory bodies stopped functioning properly decades ago

>>21646307
Im glad your a trucker after the sandbox them you deserve it :3

>>21646308
Sysco is almost certainly responsible for more deaths than you.

>>21642828
Degenerate (matter)

I too got this video recommended to me.

hahah people actually support this fucking company? this place is so fucking toasted lmao. like it's literally the goyslop provider.

Actually if you check this thread was made before that video released.

>>21642828
He doesnt know lmfao

Doesn't joint mean a low quality cheap restaurant in the USA?

>>21642743
I had no idea they sold food. I thought they were a linen service and cleaning supply vendor.

>>21648474
Nope, just means a location.

Could be a run down joint, one of them fancy joints, or a joint that plays live music on Fridays so you want to kill yourself.

There are all sorts of joints

>>21648474
Yeah, it’s an American term.
It comes from the term ‘gyp joint’ which means a disreputable or dishonest business.

>>21642737 (OP)
I thought Sysco just delivers the food. The actual food comes from multiple different suppliers that you can choose from

>>21642737 (OP)

Hello Rabbi.
>>21642776
>It's just food logistics
You're a disingenuous piece of shit. Sysco sells sysco brand, they aren't a supermarket or COOP.

>>21642825
>You use the same grocery supply lines as everyone else.
You really are this retarded. The supply lines are the roads and railroads as well as local vendors. Just because some of my food comes on the same road as walmart doesn't mean I buy walmart you fucking retard.

I'm amazed at the loyalty you retards have to your corporate overloads and the broken retard tier logic you use to justify it.

>>21644932
>Sysco is just raw ingredients
99% of Mexican restaurants, burger joints and Asian restaraunts from Florida to Seattle all taste the same. All Cysco.

To pretend they "sell raw ingredients" is a lie. They sell pre packaged pre processed partial meals that mostly just need to be mixed and heated.

>>21650793

Just say your jewish. It's a jewish made up word used by pseudoscientists to push drugs on High IQs.

>>21650799
Use your words like a big girl.
We both know you won't substantiate any of your arguments.

I look forward to you proving me correct (again).

>>21650777
Sysco is not a food manufacturer. They get their food from other companies and distribute it.

>>21650809
>Just because someone else processes the food for them on contract means the food isn't processed

I never said they were a food manufacturer you illiterate turboretard. Thanks for demonstrating your incoherent logic underpinned by your tenuous grasp of the English language.

>>21650817
You said it's all the same shit when it isn't. Theyre whole business is logistics. They deliver whatever the client orders. It's up to the client to decide if they want dog shit or decent food. Sysco will provide either or

>>21650808
That would be pointless until you work on your reading comprehension skills, kiddo. Reread that post and try to figure out for yourself why you're being called dumb. Or ask nicely and I'll spell it out for you.
>>21650817
Jesus, are you the same person as >>21650808? If so, then you really really really need to work on your reading comprehension, holy hell

>>21642737 (OP)
I understand where you're coming from. I don't see anything wrong with local joints ordering from these corpos ONLY if they order raw ingredients. I don't jive with the MRE style cookery a la Olive Garden: Chef Mike working his molecules to the bone.

NTA.
If binge watching Hell's Kitchen has taught me anything, it's that owners/operators are lazy and anxious causing them to uphold the culinary status quo. Moreover, it seems a lot of people buy an already running restaurant or copy their attempt to copy their neighbors' style.

And not for nothing, if you give two chefs of polar opposite calibers the same ingredients, they will make different dishes. It just so happens that 99% of those restaurants fucking suck and all taste the same because they have shit chefs.

Stop ordering food that has a high likelihood of being shipped frozen. Shit like jalapeno poppers and mozzarella sticks have like a 90% chance of being frozen Sysco bullshit. This also goes for pretty much all desserts unless the restaurant has a dedicated pastry chef/kitchen. Exceptions are ethnic restaurants like Indian places serving gulab jamun or sticky rice and mango from Thai restaurants, but if it's some run of the mill contemporary American eatery serving cheesecake or molten lava cake, it's a hard pass from me.

Gulab jamun is so fucking shit and trying it made me hate indians like 200% more than I already did

>>21642825
Sysco isn't for supermarkets and grocery stores. Those have their own food distribution process. It's for commercial prepared food providers.

>>21647747
They prime social media to make these topics seem natural and to get more ideas

>>21650900
>Exceptions are ethnic restaurants like Indian
cant speak for America but every single indian here in the uk tastes the same and has the exact same packaged naan breads ect, same with chinese, if anything i wouldnt be surprised if Sysco started with premade ethnic dishes because supply of uncommon ingredients and then shifted to also 'mainstream' dishes

>>21650930
There's a much higher density of Indian restaurants in the UK than in the US so more of them are going to be middling/generic. In my experience, Indian restaurants in the US are either incredible or disgusting gutter tier slop.

>>21650930
I've said this before but Chinese places in the US have their own companies to buy from rather than Sysco. You can find a few on c-r-n.com
As for Indian place, idfk. The one I go to bakes naan to order and the food does indeed taste different from other Indian places so I know they're not getting packaged naan from anywhere. There's not enough demand for South Indian food here so South Indian restaurants are likely not using prepackaged stuff, either.

When did you first notice? For me it was when these fuckass fries started popping up everywhere.

>>21651115
I've never seen those in my life, but there is a place by me that has identical fries from when I ate hot lunch in high school. It's kinda nice to eat sometimes for nostalgia purposes

>>21651115
I think they're fine for chili cheese fries. They're basically a hybrid of curly fry and steak fry.

/ck/ is shitting all over "farm to table" type restaurants for years, all it took was one youtube video to change your mind?
sheep.

>>21651170
They're fine but that's not the problem I was getting at. The first one I had at a bar and grill I thought "oh hey that's a pretty cool idea for a fry" and then they started showing up at like 50% of grills I go to even in different cities. Everything is the same and it's all just "fine".

>>21651177
Why are you going out to eat food you can easily make yourself at home?
That's the problem here: Sysco supplies the basest shit possible and practically morning else so if you're the sort of retard who goes out for that simple shit, you deserve what you get.
Can anyone show any Sysco menu that offers even one of the dishes mentioned in >>21644932?

>>21642737 (OP)
>my neighbor and I shop at the same grocery store, so our food and cooking must be exactly the same

>>21650926
You should have paid me for making this thread then.

>>21651275
If we both buy the same ingredients, we can cook things differently.
But if we buy the same microwave meal and use different microwaves to heat it up, it'll be the same.
That's the problem with those huge distributors like Sysco, if you use them to get raw ingredients and actually cook that's fine, but the problem with "Sysco restaurants" is that they order the same frozen premade garbage and just reheat them which makes them taste the same.

>>21651269
Ah yes, frying at home, famously easy and simple to do.

>>21651301
>you just can't fry at home!!!
Where the fuck did this meme come from?

>>21651301

What? It absolutely is. It's literally just boiling but swapping the water out for oil. It's not hard. My wife and I do it several times a year. Just last weekend, in fact, I fried six pounds of stuff for a cookout.

Proof needed beyond "everyone says it's true".

>>21651326
That's what you get for going for the open floorplan meme. A kitchen should be its own room and that room should have a door that separates it from the rest of the house.

>>21651439
Gosh, why are open floorplans so common on this side of the pond? I moved here from yurp forever ago and bought my first house in 2012. Just about every one I saw was open floorplan and I hated it. I hadn't considered the kitchen smells aspect, though. For me, it's just that I prefer rooms that are fucking rooms.

>>21651462
All rooms are fucking rooms if you fuck in them

Saying jokes are low brow is like not eating rice because filthy chinks eat it with gutter oil

>>21650793
Whether it's Sysco or US Foods, I haven't had a good dumpling in over a decade, almost two. That alone is enough to make me want to murder those fuckers.

They sell raw ingredients in bulk along with their fryulator frozen slop.

>>21642828
You WILL eat the molecules

>>21651727
This. They allow the restaurant to be lazy as hell if they want. Its completely up to the restaurant if they want to be lazy and cheap. And most often they do. They'll sell you 50 cents worth of Sysco fries for $4 and a $1 dessert for $9. Don't eat at those places.

>>21643265
>Unless you live in some extremely remote place where ingredients are extremely difficult to source I kind of doubt it. At least not for every locally owned restaurant.
Then you get smaller food disturbers and guess what, lots of them have the same business model as Sysco without having in house brands like they do
source: I work for smaller food distributer, we send lots of the same french fries, breaded chicken, mozz sticks, etc in bulk to both tiny diners and the kind of company that has $60 baseline for an entree

>>21651831
Fair anon, but there are restaurants where I live that do source locally and cook from scratch.

>>21645125
I dunno what slop joints you go to, but the local chain (it IS a chain, there is like 2-3 of em driving distance for me) chinese food slop maker has a window where I can see the greasy mexican make my food. And they don't just nuke the food. They have a fucking griddle and everything and stir fry right in front of you.

Now maybe the Americana chains like Applebees, TGIF, RL, RR, OG, and others all do that crap, but I find it hard to believe all the slop restaurants make identical food because it's from some monopoly corpo delivery system.

>>21651309
Adam Ragusea. He had the retarded hot take that frying at home was dumb, and he showed himself being a dumb retard in that video. And of course the /ck/ cooklets ate that shit up because it justified them eating out all the time. LOOK! I can't fry at home, this jewtuber said so! Gotta eat fast food and be 400lbs!

>>21651326
I have a shitty hood and my house only smells for an evening on the 2nd floor when I do long ass cooks. And I don't mind it because it smells wonderful. What the fuck are you doing that you stank up your whole house for days on end?

>>21651462
The upside is if you live anywhere north, you can vent the whole house with windows being open, and a good cross breeze in the spring and fall is nice - free air conditioning. It's also to make things look WAY bigger and roomier.

This kind of shit is for people who don't cook really though, but "entertain".

It sucks dicks though for power outlets, noise control, and privacy. That is why there are no curtains - this weirdo is a exhibitionist.

>>21651684
Yeah, the dumplings seem to all be racing to the bottom for a common denominator. I was sad when my local place stopped making good ones.
