Restaurants suffer

Sheesh, when I was growing up, a bacon double cheeseburger from Burger King once a month was a luxury. Talk about perspective…

I don’t understand the point of going out unless it’s for ethnic fare that you can’t cook at home (certain Chinese dishes, pho, duck, Phil’s BBQ, etc.).

Just throw down $20 for 2 lobsters, boil them at home, make a nice white wine/cream/clam seafood soup, and buy a nice bottle of wine. Or throw down some money for some nice steaks. Yeah, it might not be Ruth Chris quality steaks, but it’ll be a 1/4 of the cost. It’s amazing the number of professionals nowadays that hate to cook. It’s not like steaks and steamed broccoli are time consuming…..

Heck, you live in SoCal, get a nice smoker, hang out outside, drink a couple of beers while feeding wood chips and charcoal. Just had 20 people over a few weekends ago and tossed around 15 lbs of meat onto the smoker. Made a mango white wine sangria and some california rolls, and then just chill in the sun. Probably less than $50 in total food costs to entertain.

But for $6, I don’t think the Olive Garden soup and salad promo is that bad.

I had family in town this weekend, took them out to eat 3X. Never had to wait a second for a table. Sure, the nice places are still buisy at 12 for lunch. The problem is they are deserted at 1. That is what alot of people mean when they talk about the OP title.

FLu, those left overs make a great meal the next day for lunch.
