1935 incident not reliably sourced

The page that claims that a Stouffer's restaurant discriminated against black diners by over-salting their food isn't reliable - it contradicts other information on this page and its sources by claiming there was a Stouffer's restaurant in Philadelphia in 1935, and it also discusses a separate incident involving the "United Colored Socialist party," a group which doesn't seem to exist anywhere but on that website.

Article Revised

Ball State University expanded the page by editing the history section and adding marketing, products, and legal dealings sections. We welcome your feedback! JenRobb (talk) 15:44, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good research overall. I would strongly recommend rewriting the first paragraph of the Marketing section. Three consecutive sentences begin with "In order ..." which is not good writing style. Also the first sentence of the paragraph is not needed. Anybody who wants to know what marketing is can just go to the Wikipedia page on marketing. Under Products please identify the organizations rating Stouffer's products in the text itself rather than just calling them "one organization." Check to see if those organizations have Wikipedia pages and, if they do, link to those pages. ObtuseAngle (talk) 21:42, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Originated as Restaurant Chain

Can someone more familiar with the chain- is it now defunct?- write about the original restaurant chain? They used to have a spectacular location on the top floor of a skyscraper in Philadelphia.Hillsboro 15:56, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The restaurants are gone- Stouffer's sold off the restaurant and hotel division to Rennaisance Hotels in the 1990's, and there are some Stouffer Rennaisance hotels. The restaurants were already closing down in the 1980's although there are still some anomalies like the Stouffer-sponsored French Restaurant at Disneyland.Saxophobia 00:26, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Cleveland restaurant was known as Stouffer's Top of the Town. The Solon headquarters has an outlet store where one can buy items at steep discounts. Some are "irregular" which usually means dented packaging, some are regular quality. The store also sells large quantity packaging and restaurant size entrees.THD3 (talk) 15:45, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There were actually a number of Stouffer's "Top of..." restaurants across the nation. I believe the one in Columbus, Ohio was called Stouffer's Top of the Center. All featured spectacular views - especially at night. Can anybody find a reference on this? It would be a great addition to the article. NorthCoastReader (talk) 04:23, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I just ate 2 of their "French Bread Pizza"s, my favorite in the 80s when I was a kid. My mom and I agree, they used to be a lot bigger, almost twice the thickness and about as long. I would love to be able to document this! Anyone not cleaned out their freezer in a while?

It's pretty much crap now.

Stouffer's Restaurants make an appearance (in name, at least) in the movie musical, "How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying", ca 1967. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.169.9 (talk) 22:45, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New packaging....

I read an article a few weeks ago, and have found through purchasing Stouffer's foods (primarily lasagna) that the company is changing their cooking containers from plastic to a pressed cardboard that is friendlier to the environment than the old plastic trays. I have only found a few of the new containers so far, and don't want to add anything to the article since I cannot find the source to reference right now and it would be considered original research/WP:OR. If anyone else sees it before I can find it, maybe they can add it to the article. Cheers. Trista (cannot log in at work) 24.176.191.234 (talk) 00:52, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stouffer's foods have been cheapened over the years

There may not be any documentation for this, but Stouffer's foods have clearly gotten worse over the years. About five years ago, they reduced the cream in their chicken a la king entree to the point where it is now 2% or less of the ingredients (it was more before). The new product has a distinctly different taste from the old one.

Their lasagna has also gotten vastly worse over the years. It now has less meat, less cheese, and a higher proportion of tomato sauce to noodles (which strikes me as odd because it seems to me that tomato sauce should be more expensive than noodles -- perhaps not).

I started out eating Stouffer's foods in the 1970's, and their foods are vastly different from what they used to be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.38.185.65 (talk) 13:07, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
