I don't see what's anticompetitive about it - surely they buy the food they give out from local retailers?

A food wholesaler and a restaurant are two entirely different businesses.

I think the idea is that it's still a local business that handles it. And it's locals who are hired to prepare the food, just like a local restaurant.

What makes a restaurant a more 'worthy' business that a food retailer or wholesaler?
