I've worked in restaurants for 35 years. There's 1 food I avoid ordering on Mondays.
Brian Russino, a 35-year restaurant industry veteran and The Cheesecake Factory kitchen operations manager, advises avoiding 'Monday buns' due to potential freshness issues. He explains that many restaurants receive weekend deliveries, and leftover ingredients may not be as fresh by Monday. The Cheesecake Factory combats this with systems like date coding, inventory rotation, and forecasting.
