Unfortunately, most customers will NOT complain to the FDA or Health Department. We have all been in the kitchens of these places and witnessed health code infractions. One can only imagine what goes on after hours or during peak. No...... I don't think they will draw any attention to themselves. They want the Skeletons to remain hidden.

what they need to do is get rid of the fat dope in charge of purchasing. Scott Panton is one of the biggest losers in the business and the only thing this slob knows about food purchasing is purchasing the garbage he eats. He is the idiot that has brought all the out of code products into Perkins. It is amazing that they dont put his fat ass back in the warehouse loading trucks where he came from.

Cirelli actually has no code problems that I am aware of. Perkins actually is just plain stupid. They actually order the poducts in code expecting their paper salesman to sell it. While Bob Crawford is picking his ear wax and eating it and Jack Boyajin is looking up the staffs skirts, Scott Panton is letting his underlings order all kinds of stupidity that doesnt sell and Larry and Gary are than in charge of disposing it.

Boy are they really scrambling at Perkins. They have been rejected on there bid for Papa Ginos and now there out dumping pasta on the street for $10.00 per case. Out of code of course. Also the show was a flop this year. I visited with one of my accounts as a guest and speaking to there employees I found alot of them aren't happy. Are they serious of trying to bid for such a large account? They are barely holding on to multi units they have now.

Cheshire is right about the shows not being for the customers as seen in Perkins case. The show had no customers but had alot of vendors that were as Cheshire mentioned "blackmailed" to participate. Perkins is probably one of the leaders in the country on collecting money from vendors not only for the foodshow but for sheltered income. Its obvious that alot of the multi-unit business that they service are still not aware of all the sheltered income programs rebated back to Perkins even though the multi-units are on a cost plus program. I didnt attend the Perkins show since we do not service them (thank God) but from what i heard from other vendors is that alot of the customers that did show up do so just to visit Gillette Stadium in the hopes of meeting Tom Brady.
