Red Snapper Fillet, Sweet Candied Yams, Collard Greens, Cornbread, Macaroni & Chesse and Tartar Sauce in a Package ?


Every once and a while I get a craving for some Soul Food There's a small chain of soul food restaurants in Southern California called M & M's. The food is absolutely to die for (shall I add literally?)My husband and I dined at M & M's recently and we ordered the Red Snapper entree. The entree consists of 3 sides. Now take a good hard look at that plate ($14.99 by the way). Everything is cooked to order, fresh, and generous portions (you get two plates)...and as you salivate over this mouth watering entree...imagine a PACKAGE of tartar sauce laying next to your fried red snapper. So, we got all this scrumptious, finger-licking homemade food and then our taste buds are insulted by PACKAGES of tartar sauce. C'mon on now, all the economy sized food items, huge steel fryers and refrigerators, spatulas and talent located in that kitchen and M & M's couldn't take the culinary time to make their own tartar sauce ? What's up with that? Is there a Health Department code that prevents M & M's from preparing their own special tartar sauce ? I'm sure the packaged kind is worse for your health than some specially made ? Am I wrong ? Somebody help

Tartar Packages for such delicious looking plates like those does seem a bit silly! I'll bet if they made their own Tartar sauce, it sure would be tasty!

What are you serious...PACKETS?!! What an outrage. Now we don't expect them to churn their own butter. But Tarter Sauce. I mean they could have at least bought a big container and poured it into little cups to make you feel special. But WOW!! that food sure looks good. I think i'd just have to put up with the packets.
