If true, and I seriosuly doubt that it is, Hooters is a poorly run company. Never heard of a corporate office allowing a franchisee to change a recipe. In most circumstances, a franchisee doing something like that would result in a fine or even being forced to sell their franchise.

The only differences you will find in production are places like Asia where the supply chain is different and so are shelf lives. The vast majority of us order from Ben E Keith and are on a cooperative purchase agreement. Meaning, the more we all order from BEK the better our payout from them is at the end of the year. Think of it like a bonus. Now that I remember, the one change that did happen off the cuff was the spicy garlic. The head chef didn't think it was spicy enough and changed it without notice. It was an issue and pissed a lot of people off.
