When I was young a good friend of mine had worked as a chef/cook in fancy restruants and at taco bell, he said that taco bell had the highest quality and freshest food of all the places, back in the early 80’s.
My little brother used to work, back in the day, at Long John Silvers.
Holy Crap. He’d come home and take a 20 minute shower. Just to get the grease off of him. His clothes always got washed separately for obvious reasons. Even after washing, they were still slick and greasy.
I believe it. Fish - chicken - hush puppies - whatever. They all tasted the same. Why? Fried in same greasy oil.
