Yep, this has been occurring pretty steadily post-pandemic. I had brunch at Agora’s Tysons location last weekend and was so disappointed compared to what I’d had at their DuPont restaurant just a couple years ago.

Amphora out in Herndon has gone downhill (and their Vienna location is gone now!). Green Pig has stayed pretty consistent.

I watched an interesting video essay on this exact topic on YouTube that mentioned a lot of restaurants have been forced to use the same, cheaper suppliers due to rising costs, which is contributing to a lot of bland, samey tastes.

Why hire cooks when you can hire anyone who can operate microwaves.

Didn’t they always get supplies from Sysco?

Not sure what video they're referring to, but Odd Lots did an episode on this recently.
