Even fancy schmancy eateries are more and more serving pre prepared
frozen foods, especially entrees. Today most steak houses buy frozen
steak at bulk prices and thaw as needed. Last year I went out to eat
at an expensive restaurant and ordered crab stuffed flounder, I had to
send it back as it was still frozen inside. There's a huge wholesale
distributer nearby that supplies restaurants, they sell wholesale and
retail, they sell every frozen food imaginable. Restaurant cooks
don't need to know how to cook anymore. There are places like this
all over:
