Signs You're Eating Pre-Made Food At A Restaurant

[@MashedFood]

Do you care if your food is pre-made if it tastes good?

[@soadj28]

I can forgive lasagna or classic eggplant parm, as long as it is not frozen.

[@chiyerano]

If it tastes good AND is safe to eat then I am ok with it.

[@Chancey13]

Depends how much I’m paying and if I’m in on a time schedule

[@Ariels888]

These days such "foods" don't taste good at all. China exports fake synthetic foods every day! I was a cook in 4 restaurants and I know their tricks. Synthetic oil for the flat grill, extra flavorings that are not healthy at all, etc....needles to say i don't eat out much, because I can make it better myself. I went to a new Buffalo Wildwings recently and the chicken was tough, slimy and had absolutely no flavor! I sent it back and walked out. Disgusting!

[@chiyerano]

Unless your eating at a high-end fine dining restaurant and willing to wait an hour for your meal then yes this may be true. Items such as mashed potatoes, ravioli or tamales take time to prepare. Food order should take about 20 minutes to come out

[@peterkracht6621]

[@ryancoulter4797]

I’ve eaten at some places where it’s premade or pre prepped and it’s still delicious. Then I’ve been to some places where it’s so premade it should’ve been tossed. One Canadian breakfast chain where I swear they just scooped the ingredients out of buffet style trays, some have sat there for days, pour ‘cheese sauce’ over it all and call it a breakfast hash platter, served with ‘orange juice’ somewhere between Tang and Sunny D. Or one small town highway restaurant where the hot meals they served still were shaped in the stouffer box shape they’d just been nuked in

[@whatsfordinner21]

Pretty shit observations here. I've worked in fine dining restaurants for 8 years. Every single dish requires prep, in other words, you need to prepare the components of a dish ahead of time. I'm not going to cut a tomato, wash and cut lettuce, peel and cut an avocado, slice meat and cheese and bake a bun to order if somebody orders a sandwich. I do all of that before service, then I assemble the ingredients to order. Your video makes it sounds like nothing is fresh unless you prep and assemble everything to order. Fresh dishes can be prepared in less than ten minutes if you have prepared your fresh ingredients ahead of service.

[@Stunnedstudios]

As a server I've noticed some things where you can tell easily if your meal is made fresh or not. It's all about the type of restaurant. If you go to a burger place and order spaghetti, then it's most likely going to come pre-made and just heated up. Also no matter where you order lasagna, it's always going to be microwaved because restaurants make it in bulk instead of one single serving.

[@WeerdMunkee]

Worked at many a restaurant like Texas Roadhouse, Applebee’s, Chili’s, and Outback Steakhouse, and you’d be surprised how many things they use a microwave for.

[@SMHS2004]

Lol, the Blooming Onion is definitely NOT pre-made :-). The Outback cooks EVERYTHING to order. Even the salad dressings, with exception of one (can't remember which) are made daily.

[@80budokai]

Mashed, great video! Enjoy your Sunday!😍

[@1997aiya]

Removing items from a soup? It takes time and collective efforts from different ingredients to make it taste the way the chef or cook needs it to taste. It would take a literal hand/tong in your soup to fish it out! Doesn't that sound pleasant? XD A very VALID point a commenter also added below, "premade vs prepped." Do you or 15 other people want a salad cut fresh but also in a timely manner, that is delusional! It is inefficient for the restaurant and the guests. Greens can be cut a head of time but not already made.

[@sierrasouthwell9237]

I worked at Olive Garden for a bit. The salad came pre-mixed in a bag shipped from corporate.

[@frostspork6930]

I worked at a restaurant that cooked their food to order. People were like Idc if you have 18 customers ahead of me 10 minutes for fresh cooked steak is too long.

[@jayj7340]

When a restaurant is busy, the food is probably coming out fast because they can afford to cook things in bulk while still being fresh. New Mac and cheese is being made like every 15-20 during a lunch rush because everyone’s ordering it. But it’s made in bulk, so yes, you’re going to get it as soon as you order it.

[@IAMDIMITRI]

Actually frying fries then putting them into a freezer and REHEATING AKA frying them again is what makes them taste so good!

[@ericlopez7120]

I went to eat at a local chain called the thirsty lion and they had a special menu item: shepherds pie. But it was made with beef (that would make it a cottage pie). I noticed the had lamb burgers and other ground lamb dishes. I asked if they could make it an authentic shepherds pie and sub the eel with lamb and I said I’d even be willing to pay the difference. They could not do it. That tells me that the pies were already made and not made to order. I’ve made plenty of shepherds pies and cottages pies, I know it doesn’t take that long to assemble and make.

I went to Denny’s with my mom during New Years 2019 since the rest of our family went out of town, we didn’t feel like cooking and no other place was open. We settled.

[@silentjester4817]

Something of note about the point of large menus, ethnic restaurant usually get a pass on this point. An overwhelming majority of their dishes share ingredients with some being substitutions for each other (chicken or beef). If you don’t believe me, go to a Mexican restaurant, once they open back up obviously, and order a dozen different meals at random. I’m willing to bet each on has rice, beans, flour tortillas, and the protein will be chicken or beef.

[@sierrasouthwell9237]

​@@abuiel Agreed, but most fish, even the stuff sold as "fresh" has been frozen, defrosted in order to de-bone, then refrozen again to get shipped to the store to thaw out again.

Anyone can serve food but to do it properly, safely, and timely, is hard. Please tip your servers when they do a good job, because you could have ended up with the other guy that's actually a drug addict, or the one who literally never washes their hands, or doesnt wash their aprons, or doesnt know how to tie up their hair so it doesnt get in the food, there are 15 terrible food service workers out there for every 1 that knows what they are doing.

A lot of this is simple common sense and knowledge, except perhaps to someone at Mashed who I doubt has ever worked a real job. Many years ago when I worked in a restaurant where out of a can or a box. When you have to cook for hundreds of people, who want their food fast, it is the only way. Granted, at times quality might suffer, but most of us know going in that most places do this.

I worked at an Olive Garden and it didn't seem like much was made in the kitchen there. Everything was shipped from corporate and re-cooked. Breadsticks - yes. It came in large frozen bags. The cooks would take them out, brush them with butter, then cook them for about 20 more minutes. Salad - yes. They came in large pre-mixed bags which we would dump into a dispenser that the waiters would fill salad bowls from. Pasta - yes. One time I literally saw a cook take a pre-portioned bit of pasta in a bag and microwave it. However, I think most of the time they just boil it for a few minutes. I think that meat and seafood they do cook (after thawing it out), so that's kind of from scratch. Some chain restaurants are good and some are bad.
