“Unlocking the Hidden World of Chain Restaurants: 18 Insider Secrets Revealed by Employees You Never Knew Existed!”
EDIT: And the “fresh-squeezed lemonade” is made from cartons of concentrate and regular old faucet water. Green tea is the same.
I work at a Papa John’s and as you may know Papa John’s brags about never frozen ingredients. Well, that’s a big lie. Every time that we get a truck with food all the meats are frozen. The apple pie topping also comes frozen. The only things that don’t come frozen are the dough and the vegetables.
I used to work at Romano’s Macaroni Grill and their delicious Rosemary Herb Bread comes in frozen and is stored at room temperature. It must be loaded with a million kinds of preservatives to last sitting two weeks in a storage closet.
I also used to work at Applebees, and can confirm that steaks are microwaved. At the location I was at the cooks threw them on the grill after the microwave to get char marks on them. Seriously guys, don’t order steaks there.
Chipotle’s deep, dark secret… It’s 50/50 lemon lime juice in the rice. Oh no! Seriously, that place was above-board all around.
The servers are in charge of making bread sticks at Olive Garden. I can’t remember exactly how it worked but all the soup/salad/bread sticks were done by the servers. Two servers would usually be scheduled to be in charge of those things. I can’t remember if the breadsticks were frozen or fresh…but I think they were fresh. As soon as they came out of the oven they were slathered in butter and salted, and they usually didn’t last long. So chances are the breadsticks you get at Olive Garden are gonna be fresh and tasty. We were told that a table gets one bread stick per person and then one extra…this did not help curb massive consumption of bread sticks.
Once we had to throw out a bunch of old boxes…one of which I managed to take home. I ate bread sticks for at least a month…it was glorious.
