Restaurants buy olive oil cut by 90% with canola oil so that the front of house can tell patrons that "they only use olive oil".
Why? Let me know when you can find organic, virgin, cold pressed olive oil for $0.19 an ounce.

What brand of organic extra virgin olive oil do you recommend? Our body and health is a gift and we need to nourish it the best we can
Lately we've been using:

Beyond that, we really enjoy castelvetrano olives with cheese and honey.
The incentive to use lower cost ingredients (that taste good) is too strong. Especially in the inflationary environment we’re experiencing.
Im not a huge proponent of govt regulation but this feels like a no brainer.
My wife just bought new clothes for our kids. Same brand and style as the last time she bought them. The fabric is about half as thick and the overall quality is plummeting. This is fiat.
This is a cool post I am in the industry and say use only butter not margarine when I order the back of house looks at me crazy lol I don't think they will ever move away from cheap ingredients tbh...u have liabilities that r dying away the longer u don't sell the food might as well buy it cheap incase u have to scrap it or fuck ups...the industry is already hard enough with 80% I wanna say failure rate in the first year the ones that do sell better food close often due to high prices from what I've seen unless they have a nice atmosphere or some staple on their menu
Restaurants are basically an end game fiat establishment at this point.
Very thin margins tbh blows my mind the amount of people that go out and eat everyday there was one time our POS went down. Cards could not be processed for a couple days so we'd swipe it there n they move on. So when we got to charging them 4 days later, all the cards bounce, proving most people out there live paycheck to paycheck. My boss was losing his mind with all the bounced checks. And angry customers complaining or having negative balances because of us just was wild to see
I’ve had dietitians in senior homes tell me that margarine is healthier than butter for the residents. I don’t think they’re trying to save money either, I think they watch the news at 7 am and 6 pm and don’t think for themselves.
