everyone better learn to make their own food

@Paultron the funny thing is, everyone still *can* tell the difference between something cooked fresh and something reheated.
The French have experimented endlessly on this - what can you prep ahead of time, and then in true french fashion wasted all this optimization on making even more elaborate dishes.

@sickburnbro people don't want to pay $18 for a beer and a frozen entree a guatemalan microwaved for 8 minutes in the kitchen

@EvilSandmich @HWABAG @Professor_Groyper bro, $60 for a strip steak is insane. What's weird is the t-bone isn't a lot more, so the cost of the meat is a minor portion.

@sickburnbro TGI Fridays has some of the worst food. I'm surprised it didn't die off back when they changed their decent mozz sticks to breaded, cold cheese.

@EvilSandmich @HWABAG @Professor_Groyper yeah, that's kinda the standard for how the more expensive steakhouses work.

@sickburnbro it doesn't help that the entire food chain in the US is run by the sort of guy who asked 'how much saw dust can you put in rice krispies before people notice' in the high school science fair. it's all a race to the bottom to see who can provide as much volume as possible at the lowest cost as possible to feed the ever growing masses of retarded third worlders and nigger cattle the US has. you can put in any amount of petrochemical derivatives and cellulose and dyes as you want so long as you don't mark your food as intended for use on humans. it even infects good restaurants since if they're not growing their own stuff locally they'll get the tyson special chickens that have been bred to produce nothing but breast meat via steroids in tiny cages that taste like nothing and the hothouse tomatoes and cucumbers
going abroad is nice because you pay a reasonable price most of the time and get something that actually tastes like food

@sickburnbro I mean the restaurants nobody eats at anymore closing does not necessarily endanger the restaurants people still eat at.

@Paultron @sickburnbro Sysco is one of those companies where they're not widely known outside of their industry, but they're a pillar holding up a massive chunk of America. Other examples include McMaster-Carr and those ancient manufacturing companies that don't have their own website so the only way to contact them is through a Facebook link from 2016

you're implying a) people don't know how to make food and b) TGI fridays experiencing difficulties means that restaurants as a whole will disappear

@d0c40r0 the fact that doordash is still being run with even a dream of making money should put the fear of god into everyone

We don't eat out often because we make better shit at home any day ending in Y. If we do, it's never to a casual dining place. And only restaurants owned by local restauranteurs...

@sickburnbro @d0c40r0 what do you mean? a combo from mcdonalds on door dash after modest delivery fees is 34$ before tip. that same combo is 18 after tax if you go pick it up in person. they're doing just fine

"this company might eventually make a profit which means that everyone is fat and retarded and if a fast food company with 233 US locations goes under we're all gonna starve"

@Paultron @sickburnbro @d0c40r0 every item is marked up 1-5$ (im assuming based on percentage) and they pay a fee to be listed in the app. door dash makes money in all kinds of ways. uber has a better cut in this though because they already had the tech and the drivers, they just had to make a storefront and print money

TGI has one restaurant every half-South Carolina. I guarantee them experiencing issues doesn't mean all restaurants are going down or that anyone is starving

@Paultron @graf @sickburnbro @d0c40r0 As somebody who travels for a living, getting doordash to a hotel is a divine experience and is worth the extra money. Its also useful in certain social situations. People who doordash to their house on a regular basis are high time preference niggers though.

@Rudolf_von_Goldenbaum @Paultron @graf @d0c40r0 I find most food delivery to be a poor quality compared to dining there. Pizza is one of the few exceptions.
