Yeah, I used to know cooks there. Back as recently as the early 2ks, they were doing real cooking for the majority of the menu. But that stopped; the last cook I talked to from the place said that except for breakfast, most things were pre cooked and frozen without anyone using more than a microwave. Kinda like most chains tbh, but you can’t do that with some dishes and expect quality.
But holy crap, the ev station idea is brilliant for most restaurants right now. The ones that jump on it early are going to have an edge until others start doing it. Waffle house, Denny’s, all of the ones that like to be right near an exit ramp. Whoever gets there first and gets known for it is going to etch into public memory as the first option.
