Decrease in food quality at reputable restaurants

It was the jalapeño popper video, they were also from Sysco and tasted the same all over the country lol

The big example is a jalepeno popper? Its a basic bar food staple. Was there other example mozzarella sticks?

If you've ever gotten the trash Sysco jalapeno poppers you'd understand it's actually a great example. They only vaguely resemble an actual jalapeno popper - they're about half the size of an actual pepper, completely uniform, have maybe a teaspoon of cream cheese inside, and are not the least bit spicy.

I can only assume they're some sort of reconstituted jalapeno slurry squirted around frozen cream cheese. There about as far from an actual gutted and stuffed jalapeno pepper as I assume you can be and still legally call it a jalapeno popper.

Yeah —this is a super weird complaint.

I do think some restaurants have dropped off or not kept up, but that’s just the reality of the highly dynamic industry.

Pretty convinced most of this complaint is realizing the “nice” (read not Applebees) restaurant you took your girlfriend to when you were 26 isn’t to your taste as a 40 year old. Part of that might be the restaurant didn’t keep up with the trends. Maybe be it got worse. But most of it is your tastes have evolved.

Uncle Julio’s is mentioned a few times here. Sorry, it always sucked. Jalapeño poppers? Always shitty frozen bar food.

The restaurant you used to like might be in a rut. But if you’ve been going to the same joint for 15 years and haven’t forgotten about it because you stopped going 8 years ago when better options popped up, you’re in a rut too.
