It's important to trust the folks preparing our food, right?

This just in:

A brand new survey on restaurants in the USA rates them based on "trust".

Which restaurant is the least trusted in America?

Do we have one in Alabama?

Yes, we have 28 of them in Alabama.

The study comes from Clarify Capital and they release one each year.

It's all about trust.

Healthcare is THE most trusted industry in America while the legal biz is the least trusted industry.

Much of the data used to determine this list comes from the Better Business Bureau's research.

In Alabama, construction is the most trusted industry, by the way.

Back to food, if we could.

 

 

These are the Top 3 most trusted restaurant brands:

#3  McDonalds

#2  KFC

#1  Pizza Hut

 

Now, I don't know about you, but I haven't been to Pizza Hut in a minute.

They ranked FIRST as the most trusted restaurant brand in the USA category.

 

GET READY FOR THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL

 

THE 3 LEAST TRUSTED restaurant brands in the USA?

 

#3 Chipotle

#2 Sonic Drive-In

#1 Panera Bread

 

What? Panera is the least trusted restaurant brand in America.

I don't really get it.

Yes, their food has been a bit pricey but they are trying to change that as we speak.

Have you seen the new Panera commercials hyping the new menu with a bunch of meals under $10?

They are making an effort to turn this trust issue around.

In my opinion, they have quality food. Some might say that you get what you pay for in the food industry.

 

THE MOST SHOCKING PART OF THIS SURVEY?

 

Not one mention of CHICK-FIL-A!

What is going on with that nonsense?
