On the front page of reddit today was an askReddit piece on how much cooking actually goes on in restaurants.  I don't want to overgeneralize about all restaurants, but it's crazy to me that some restaurants take prepared frozen meals, reheat, and then call it fresh or homemade.  The chefs on mealnextdoor prepare their food fresh and more than likely shop at the local market for their ingredients.  The link to the reddit comments is below.

And here's a link to an article from Slate about the largest supplier of frozen meals, Sysco.
