Even the country clubs in TV use food service stuff to quite an extent. Do you think those fries that come with your $10 burger are hand cut from scratch and cooked made to order?
It's a necessary evil. People want to get meals served to them without paying much, restaurants want to serve people food without spending much.

Of course any restaurant has to determine its line of cost/labor/quality/value. For me, with McGradys, I tell them to look behind them.
