I wrote a comment on the site, but I think this is a terrible analogy.<p>Keep in mind, <i>I've both been fired by VCs and I've fired VCs</i>. And while I've never fired a produce supplier, I've fired other vendors and I can pretty well imagine what it would be like.<p>And it's not just firing that makes VCs and produce suppliers different.<p>While they both might help you build your meny, you don't <i>need</i> to check with your produce supplier for approval before you change your menu.<p>You also don't need to check with your produce supplier before your sell your restaurant.<p>I could go on...
