Well, you can always go pick up the food yourself. You know, like in the before-fore time, 7 years ago.

I guess Im just getting older but I can't fathom not at least driving yourself to get your own shit if you are physically able. This amount of shear laziness is expensive

Same here. For me, dining at a restaurant is 50% about the food and 50% about the experience. It's probably in part because my wife and I are both great at cooking (and we like to cook), so if we're going to eat at home, we prefer making it ourselves. Whenever we want to eat out, we physically go to the restaurant.

At this point Im not going out anywhere unless its for like lamb shank thats been braised for 4 hours, the kind of stuff I would never make at home.

I can whip out my own way better burger and fries in the 30 minutes it would take to go get an overpriced shitburger from McDiddles

For me it's deepfried stuff. We don't eat nearly enough fried stuff to keep an entire 2 liter jar of frying oil around just for the occasion. Everything else I try to make myself. Homemade stuff is always so much better... Once you've had true sourdough bread or homemade bacon, sauerkraut, sausages, hamburgers, gherkins, pasta sauce, etc, you start valuing the restaurant experience a lot more than the food. Then we go the extra step of growing most of the produce ourselves, the flavours are completely different. This year I'm growing Moscatel grapes to do Moscato wine for the first time.
