Our analysts examined how dining habits differ across Gen Zers, millennials, Gen Xers and baby boomers in our research consumer study.

Setting aside the challenges of today, it is important to recognize just how instrumental the restaurant business is to society and how significant the role of cooks and chefs. I feel privileged to come from a lineage of restaurateurs, and although not chefs, they represented a taste of this importance. Throughout history it has been the cook and the restaurateur who have given a spark of hope and life to even the bleakest of times.

So much was different before March 2020. Restaurant’s safety protocols were done “behind the scenes,” and guests most likely didn’t care about the sanitation of high-touch surfaces or whether they were sitting within six feet of other tables. For many brands, an annual audit was the norm, while employees may have focused on not "getting in trouble" or "getting a good score" rather than the creation of culture.

Cooking oil is a staple within commercial kitchens. It’s required for deep frying, and the various types of cooking oil to choose from affect the taste and texture of the food. Once a batch of restaurant cooking oil is spent and no longer good for frying, it must be disposed of somewhere. Because it is a liquid, you might be tempted to pour restaurant cooking grease down the drain, but that should never be an option.
