What kind of mayo do restaurants use and where to buy it?

What kind of mayo does restaurants use like Apple Bee's, Burger King, Mcdonalds and where do you buy it? Regular mayo tastes nasty and nothing like there stuff and im not a fan of miracle whip.



And no im not 300lbs i just want a good sandwhich :PWhat kind of mayo do restaurants use and where to buy it?
I have worked in many restaurants in my lifetime and most of them use a simple egg yolk mayonnaise that they buy at a good food store like smart and final and such. Costco has it and many other places that cater to restaurants.
There is no one certain kind. From the wholeseller.What kind of mayo do restaurants use and where to buy it?
just mayo w/ extra sugar. similar to miracle whip
Most restaurants make their own mayo. It's very hard work. Buy Kraft if you do not like to do from the beginning.



Step #1. Whisk together in a medium bowl until smooth and light:

2 large egg yolks

1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice or white wine vinegar

1/4 teaspoon salt

Pinch of ground white pepper



Step #2. Whisk by drops until the mixture starts to thicken and stiffen:

1 cup vegetable oil, at room temperature.



Step #3. As the sauce to thicken鈥斺€攚hen about one-third of the oil has been added鈥斺€攚hisk in the oil more steadily, making sure each addition is thoroughly blended before adding the next. Should the oil stope being absorbed, whisk vigorously before adding more. Stir in:

Up to 1 1/2 (one-and-a-half) teaspoons Dijon mustard

Salt and ground black pepper to taste.



Serve immediately or refrigerate in a covered jar for 1 to 2 days.
Most of the prepared mayo which chain restaurants buy has more additives and is much thicker than the hellmans-type stuff you buy in the supermarket. It is "industrial strength" so to speak, and the only place the public can purchase it is in a food-service specialty store, such as Cirelli's in MA. And you ALWAYS have to buy it in bulk containers. Yes, it does taste much different than regular mayo, it's not just your imagination.
I know of few restaurants outside the Carolina's that use it, but Duke's mayonnaise is by far the best mayo there is, if you can find it.
