Higher quality seems like a stretch based on the last times someone dragged me to a crappy national chain.
Higher salt and fat content definitely, because that shit tastes good. At the grocery store, you’re far more likely to shop for things that seem healthy, and the restaurant meals would have insane nutrition labels (especially if they were honest about restaurant serving sizes).
There’s a lot more frozen food served at restaurants than you realize. And not just at crappy national chains like Applebees. There are different grades of frozen foods, and the better restaurants use higher quality ones.
It seemed like you presented it as a given that just because it’s at a restaurant, it’s higher quality.
I was trying offer the counterexample and suggest that the grocery store frozen food is also intentionally different making “quality” difficult to compare.

Yeah, I get that.

Ah. Makes sense.
