We're constrained on many levels. We subcontract our bread, but because of labor limitations at the bakery, we can't get our signature bread. So we're just taking regular French bread. We don't have enough manpower to cut our own fish, so we are subcontracting the actual filleting. It's a lot easier for us to judge the quality of a whole fish than it is to judge the quality of a fillet. But we don't have that luxury right now. |
