Bwrrrryan has asshole buddies... and he eats a whole lot more
hydrogenated vegetable shortening than he realizes, probably more than
most because he doesn't do a whole lot of cooking/baking. Even the
most high end commercial kitchens/eateries use the cheapest shortening
they can find... there's a better chance of having foods prepared with
real butter at the local greasy spoons. Small mom n' pop restos don't
buy enough to take advantage of bulk pricing from the wholesalers,
they buy much of their foods at local stupidmarkets and big box
groceries same as the general public, and they typically buy the
"used" meats and other expired products at deep discount, like butter,
margerine, and other dairy. How do you think restos decide what their
specials will be.
