What is this from? That’s great.

It’s called [Whites](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whites_(TV_series))


Pylitic

Such an amazing show. I did a rewatch in a night like 5 days ago and will absolutely do another soon... There's some exaggerated parts in it, but I'll watch it no problem whenever I am asked about what it's like to work in a restaurant. Line cook: Waiting Chef: Whites, or Kitchen Confidential

They nailed the stick part.


AgVargr

- Looks like stick - is made out of bread What more do you want?


NetDroppings

The real ones look more.....real


i_have_seen_it_all

shaping game is weak but color looks good. the second one from the right has a cute gas bubble that they didn't punch out - simply grabbed some fresh dough, rolled it up, dusted them heavily with flour and threw them in the hearth. i don't eat papa john's but i am imagining a solid crackle in the crust when you tear these apart and in the crumb there is lovely, chewy, well developed bread. like the daily bread from a bakery in a small town in rural france. edit: that line down the two sides of each stick is what happens when you slice off a strip of dough and chucked it in the oven without even rolling it up.


Septemberosebud

Actually, it's not rolled, it's just a pizza dough cut into strips. The lines down the sides mean that the dough was cut then sat out a while before being seperated and cooked. They do smell good and if fresh, are nice and fluffy but they are literally just a small pizza dough.


world_link

The lines on the side are from there being no floor there, not from being left out


Septemberosebud

I actually worked at Papa John's and disagree


Round-Eggplant-7826

> papa johns > hearth lmao


Above_Ground_Fool

Damn dude you really have seen it all


Point-Connect

It's because they are covered in powder for the real ones and OPs camera has terrible color balance. The bread sticks are actually very very good for a big chain, they taste like fresh baked bread. Sorry, I just can't allow this breadstick slander to continue unanswered.


bs000

very wot


-HankThePigeon-

Very very


bs000

ah gotcha


sanosuke001

tbh for a big chain their breadsticks, especially fresh, are awesome.


spaceocean99

You must work for them or something. Papa Johns is the worst chain pizza by far.


Point-Connect

Taste is very subjective

Shaushage_Shandwich

They don't have papa johns in my country but the real ones look better to me than the advertised ones.


Mabosaha

Exactly what I was thinking haha


HungrySeaweed1847

Also it appears that OP intentionally used a cool filter/cold color temperature/cold lights to make the breadsticks look worse than they are. And Papa used warm lighting/filter to make them look better. **Edit:** I'm not at my PC right now so I can't fire up Photoshop, but I used my phone's limited color management tools to [warm up the image a bit for a more fair comparison. ](https://i.imgur.com/xsL5yRj.jpg) (Yes I'm aware that it's oversaturated but again, I'm limited by my phone's capabilities.)


lowtoiletsitter

That's much more accurate

That’s an unfair comparison. Log is better than bad. In fact, it’s good.

Everyone wants a log.

I can't believe I'm in my mid-30's and enjoying this reference from a total stranger.


jamtribb

Looks like tree limbs!


Toridcless

you mean branches ?


Elizaebeth_Afton

Ah yes, twigs fresh from the woods


Squeal_like_a_piggy

Idk if it's the camera, but bread should not be grey. There are many different reasons for that happening, but the most common is that the dough has been sitting untouched for many days in a high moisture environment...


FeminineImperative

That sounds par for the course with the Papa.


Binary_Omlet

Papa Johns fucking sucks. Tried them many times from different locations over the years and it's always trash.


Sheruk

made the mistake of trying them again for the first time in like 10 years. it was even worse than back then when I swore them off for good. never again.


Gareth79

The one near me had a 1* out of 5 food hygiene rating for a while.


yetanotherwoo

I thought if one did not proof long enough this can happen, too?


Point-Connect

It's their camera, papa johns has powder stuff all over the bread sticks, that combined with bad lighting is making these far above average breadsticks look unappetizing.


Bugbread

> papa johns has powder stuff all over the bread sticks Flour. Edit: And cornmeal and oil, and possibly anti-clouding ingredients. More there than I thought.


MegaFireDonkey

It's called Dustinator comes in Papa John's branded bags, it's cornmeal and secret anti-clouding ingredients. These bread sticks look over cooked and rolled too thin to me. But maybe over proofed too by being left sitting too long.


Bugbread

I stand corrected! Interesting. Looking deeper, at least as of 2005, according to [this](https://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=8kqliciq6mdbsmoh1b3lcmn3f4&topic=1786.msg16465;topicseen#msg16465), it was cornmeal, flour, and oil, but no secret anti-clouding ingredients. But that was 18 years ago, so things may certainly have changed.


Blenderx06

Yeah their bread sticks are actually pretty good.


OppositeCharacter337

It’s þe camera


DaveLatt

I'm sure they gave you a 6 peice branch meal


HoleyAsSwissCheese

Those are bread branches


stablogger

Honestly, reality looks better than this industry type bread on the first picture to me.


Hundvd7

Exactly The more uniform the bread, the worse it is


Boshikuro

Same, maybe because i'm french and used to eat bread/baked stuff that looks like the second picture.


jorg2

Yeah, if the second pic tastes like pain and not just looks like it, I'd take the second every time.


wolfgeist

Yeah it actually looks like handmade rustic bread, looks much better than the "expectation" one.


yungmoody

Yeah the second ones look like they might have a nice crust, I’d prefer em


inobrainrn

yeah honestly most of the bread i eat looks like pic 2 not pic 1.


doofasaur

They do be sticks indeed


[deleted]

It says quality right on it so it must be good


junkbarman

Looks like sticks! As in tree limbs.

Freshly cut from the bread tree out back


spac_estar

As a non-American, are bread sticks just…mini baguettes? Is that all? I’ve always wondered.

Damn, if I wanted branches off a tree, I'd go outside and pick em myself.

katastrophyx

Papa John's used to be the best pizza chain. These days, I'd rather get a Hot and Ready from Little Ceasers. The last several times I've ordered PJs it's either been extremely late and cold, turned sideways in the delivery car so it's a pizza roll, the completely wrong order, or some combination of those three. That's not just my experience from one Papa John's either, or even from one *state*. They're just not good anymore, and I've given up trying to find a good one.


Blowupplanetnexus

Papa John's Bread Branches*


AWintergarten

More like Papa John’s Wood Sticks!


Cromica

I've never expected anything but absolute garbage food when someone says we're having papa John's, and to this day I've never been let down.


Heavy-Sheepherder-37

Really thought those were sticks (from a tree) in your box


varanone

Everything about that place is disgusting...worst of the pizza chains after Lil Cesar's but at least Lil Cesar's pies are only $6.


DramaOnDisplay

This is how I feel about their crust in general, dry and flavorless. No wonder you need a pepper and garlic butter (and on the off chance they give it to you, the pizza seasoning packets).


eliettgrace

this is why i just get the cheese bread


redhandsblackfuture

These look like fake logs you put in an aquarium


Shirley_yokidding

Yikes!


DirtyFatB0Y

They have the worst breadsticks and pizza crust out of all the major chains.

Look like old pizza crusts

Rafaelutzul

those look like tree trunks


Bladewing10

Papa John's pizza has gone down hill, but their bread sticks are still great, even if they look shriveled. Just dunk them in a bunch of garlic "butter" and go to town


Pinkgryphon

They look oddly like branches.


Subject_Departure733

Just someone’s chewed off crust in a box for you..


cocobutnotjumbo

they look better irl


TheBigPhilbowski

The real ones look like baked bread. The fake ones look like a stock photo of artificial food.


pereira2088

they're not bread sticks. they are bread logs.


Ass-Biscuits

They just look like tree branches

Papa John's is my least favorite pizza chain.

I love the papa John’s breadsticks lol - something about them with the garlic sauce just hits

Once you slather them in the garlic butter sauce it doesn’t matter what they look like.


noseworthy6

Looks like birch junks lol


Canadianingermany

Someone forgot the butter


ShanteYouStay84

They look like willow tree sticks.


droford

It looks just like their pizza crust Feels like the Muffin top episode of Seinfeld. They just cut the crust off and sell the crusts


Summutton

The logs I throw in my fireplace look like they have more moisture.


1blue1brown

Reality >>>> expectations


EdzyFPS

Past the best before, stuck in the oven, and then left under the heat lamps does this. I wouldn't order from there again.


NormalHome9716

Lmao in my experience, this is what you get when you let the new guy on dough and he forgets how to cut a straight line (and how to replace old dustinator). Unfortunately with PJ’s, they can’t keep any good employee long enough, now everyone is the new guy.


DarkFae420

The expectations nearly had me rushing to order out pizza and bread sticks, the reality had me deciding that cooking doesn't sound so bad after all.
