I need some suggestions. I am working on re-opening a barbecue sandwich shop which my grandfather owned and operated for 22 years here in my hometown and am searching for a supplier(s). I have a meeting Friday night with a rep from Sysco but would like to know your opinions on who you use and why. I will be buying Cure 81 Hormel Ham, Gooseneck Round beef, and American Cheddar cheese among other items. (these are the main ingredients of the sandwiches he made) Please give me your thoughts of Sysco or anyone else you may recommend.

On a scale of 1 - 10 Sysco rates an 8 in my book. They inventory everything under the sun and the quality is right up there. Unfortunately, the pricing isn't quite as competitive as it once was...unless you're a MAJOR ACCOUNT buying millions per week.

Over the years, Sysco has gobbled up most of the smaller regional suppliers, as has US Foodservice. If you pay your bills on time, you can cut deals with your sales rep. Also, check out "weekly specials"

If you have a Sams Club or Costco handy, check prices and their' specials too...and let your sales rep from Sysco know that you do watch the competition Smiler
