More Perfect Union on Sysco, the wholesale restaurant food distributor ruining eating out

I Tracked Down The Company Ruining Restaurants

For More Perfect Union, Alex Opperman posed the question: “are restaurants starting to taste the same?” and immediately answered with “yes” and the reason why—Sysco, a multi-billion dollar American restaurant food distributor that seemingly sells mass-produced food to a large number of restaurants.

However, with mass-production comes unfettered acquisition of smaller distributors, continuous labour disputes and strike action, and poor work conditions and Alex dug into this by talking to restaurateurs, journalists, and business experts to find out how it all became a deep-fried mess.
