[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Should say many of those types of places have an in house pastry chef or partner with a local bakery so don’t skip dessert. [/quote]

OP here. I think you’d be surprised. Even at nice local places like Italian or French. I have to ask about dessert ingredients due to allergies, and many times someone will offer to “bring me the label.” [/quote]
Yes, I think most places buy these from distributors or Costco.

I was in a group that planned a high end benefit dinner. Two different caterers suggested serving slices of Costco chocolate cake with some raspberry sauce on it. We went with a local baker.

Anyway, I like your idea but[b] how is it linked to tariffs?[/b][/quote]

anyone? higher cost of ingredients perhaps? labor too? anything else?[/quote]

It’s already been explained. Read the thread. I don’t get what you get about avocados and tomatoes going up in price by 25% won’t be passed on as a cost from the restaurant who buys the produce and prepares the food to the consumer who orders the dishes and pays for them. I don’t get what you don’t get about the fact that immigration crackdown = no workers will work, or not enough will work = vegetables and fruits left to rot on the vine = not enough fruits and vegetables at the store.[/quote]

They can buy local and hire local too right? So nothing like the impact from Covid lockdown. They’ll be fine.[/quote]

If you are familiar with seasons, growing zones, gardening and food climates, you can probably think through a big part of the problem here.[/quote]
