rappahannock Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Our first impression was made by the Sysco truck pulling out from the Inn...sigh.Why does Sysco make you sigh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Pressley Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Why does Sysco make you sigh? A lot of people wrongly believe that the only items Sysco sells are prepared foods. In reality, they sell everything from plastic wrap and aluminum foil to kitchen knives to stainless steel insert pans and toilet paper...and no, I am not employed by them.

rappahannock Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 That's kind of what I thought... You are right. They are much more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulk products, too, like: oil, sugar, flour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rappahannock Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 One guilty pleasure I have with Sysco... They make (have made for them) a fine hot dog, packed under their label. (If I may stray off topic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walrus Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 As someone whose good friend used to work for US Food Service, trust me, I know the range of stuff that Sysco and their ilk provide (and how important the service they provide is to some restaurants). I still am put off by seeing the Sysco-mobile pulling out from a fine-dining establishment. It simply does not give me a good first impression. Period.

I still am put off by seeing the Sysco-mobile pulling out from a fine-dining establishment. It simply does not give me a good first impression. Period.While I understand that some of the products Sysco (and their ilk) provide is less than stellar to a fine dining establishment. But in reality, there are products they provide that are as high a quality, and at a lower price, as you can find in the marketplace. Plugra butter is an example. I personally get more put off by the Bud truck pulling out of some places... Just my opinion. Again, sorry to be off topic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
