What are we looking for?

As an aside, I have no doubt that some of people's favorites buy from Sysco.

Of course they do. People think the food tastes better from a nicer more expensive place. its part of our mental being.

20/20 did a special years ago where they heated up frozen dinners and doctored them up at a high end 4 star restaurant. They had hidden cameras and microphones and 95% of the people were going on and on and about how great the food was.

That's great.

I'm just looking for specific examples.

I buy the little soft shell crabs for frying. They're awesome appetizers.

Mr John’s gets their steaks from Sysco

I think everyone with half a brain knows that the food distribution system has changed a lot over the last 10 years and yes, Sysco has a very deep product line with some great items. Soups were always something that they get get good stuff out to restaurants. I'm sure just about every restaurant in the country uses Sysco or something similar for certain items.

With that said, it's still acceptable to make fun of a place by calling it a Sysco shop. You know the kind of places where no real cooking is happening and everything comes frozen and pre-packaged including the sauces and it's just microwaves and such.

Sysco and similar companies sell a wide array of things, not just pre made frozen stuff. It’s up to the individual place to order the good shite.

95% of people can’t tell the difference between a $5 bottle and a $100 bottle.

Meh, I find it hard to believe with a wine priced that low. Now if you bumped that up to say $20 vs $100 bottle, yeah I agree that the general public couldn't tell the difference most of the time. I know I couldn't. That's why I've only spent more than $25 for a bottle of wine once in my life.

Preach.
