in general yes, almost all restaurants are fraud and terrible, but if you do it correctly it is probably one of the only things left worth spending money on, and it doesn't have to be a lot you just have to pick right

It still takes up two hours of your day and costs $100 minimum. And it’s normally loud and the waitress expects you to make “eye contact” when ordering.

i am a vehemently anti-thingdoing misogynist who would be happy to destroy all of my relationships and be alone for the rest of my life, but even i am willing to admit the utility of eating out as a low-effort excuse to meet with someone in a neutral setting in a reasonable window of time. it sounds like you're choosing shitty restaurants, it's not like you're a deep-seated misanthrope. but anyways the cost is just the fee not to be surrounded by poors and loud brown people.

Being freed from the drudgery of having to plan, shop, prep, cook, serve, eat, clean up, and store leftovers a few times/week is worth a lot, man. Being able to focus and enjoy for 30-90 minutes with the fam vs. swallowing food in 5 mins and having a mess to deal with.

We typically go out for Indian or Chinese or something we’re not going to make at home (and we’re not going to stupidly add $150 of booze to).

I agree that costs have gone up rapidly, and it is *at least* $150 when we go as a family with our two kids, but I ljl at supermarkets now, too. Don’t remember the prior time I was down the canned soup aisle, but I was recently when looking for hot sauce and soup is $5 now for some Progresso industra-slop. I firmly remember them being $1.49 to $1.99. Not sure when this happened

i like it but it's too damn expensive. you can have a damn fine meal at home for a third of the cost, or far less if you're drinking. of course there are some things i can't or won't make at home but there are tons of things i will make that are restaurant quality.

Not flame I think this is largely a consequence of food becoming so expensive. Restaurants have to gouge customers to scrape by, and barely any value is added to the experience anymore because places are dead. If food were less expensive, restaurants would be busier and the ones with good service would stand out.
