--- Quote from: awkwardness on 20 Jan 2021, 07:05 ---Is Renee one o the bakers? I thought she was just the sales clerk with Eliot and Jim did baking...why would a clerk be banned from other bakeries unless their owners are so insecure and jealous of Jim that they refuse to allow someone who's buying baked goods who works for the competition to buy any. It's money that they're kissing goodbye.
Then again, Jim is a great baker and has a connection to good coffee that the others lack...I guess they could have that against Secret Bakery

Renee and Elliot both bake. Padma I don’t know/can’t recall, but she and Faye had a semi-serious duel regarding muffins on one of their first meetings. In the Q.C.verse, loyalty to your baked goods provider is *serious business*.

That and there might be concern about recipe poaching. When McDonalds wanted the recipe for what became the chicken McNuggets, and the original chef wouldn’t sell, they sent researchers to St Louis to eat at the restaurant every day until they deciphered the recipe and the recipe for what became the bbq sauce.

Now did Elliot do that to Clinton intentionally, or was it a honest "it MIGHT be good" moment?

Gotta have your friends/family taste test before you start selling stuff.

That makes sense in a roundabout way...so it's really jealousy and a fierce rivalry at play.

That wouldn't really work with breads and baked goods, you'd need a spectral analyzer and a lot of money to get the percentages right alongside a lot of batches of baked goods to decipher the recipe...but the fear makes you do irrational things at times.

That way you won't get sued if things go wrong ;)

This feels like a way better environment for them to be in than a bar in every way to be honest
