Sysco is reliable, you order ten pounds of tomatoes and you will get your ten pounds of tomatoes day in and day out.

Sure you could send your chef to the farmer’s market to pick tomatoes but that is more costly and sometimes he’d return empty handed.

Yeah, and for produce honestly they were just fine, on par with what you'd get at the local HEB. I wasn't impressed by the meat quality but our manager might have been getting the cheaper stuff from them.
