| The better place is 15 min farther away. I even said I'd go get it but he insists the food will get cold en route and the grungy, greasy place is better, and now our teen is piling on insisting on it too. Last time we ate there, my crab rangoons were yellow and watery inside. |

| So don’t go. Order and get your own food that you’re going to enjoy. |

| I only eat Chinese from one place. Everywhere else does not agree with my stomach. When i do travel or kids are at grandmas DH has his fill of the place he wants. |

| Just go get it from the place you want. Tell them to get their own food. |

| Most Chinese places have a few dishes that aren't made with much oil -- it's steamed mostly. |

| Yeah just go get your own food. Life is short. |

| Ask for steamed veggies with sauce on the side. |

Boring and insult to injure when you can get better food elsewhere. |

| I don't like American Chinese food. I can't believe I used to eat that stuff as a kid. |

| They can order from their place, you drive to yours. Don't see why its a big deal |

| It’s ok to order separately. |

| Go pick up your order first and put in an insulated cooler. Then swing by the oily place and pick up their order. Win-win. |

This is smart! Except if I were OP, I would get really snippy about the fact that I was having to put in the extra time and do all the extra labor to cater to the lowest common denominator. And I would feel kind of sad if everyone was ordering from different places, like we weren’t truly “eating together” (I know that doesn’t quite make sense). This is harder than I thought! Can you agree to alternate restaurants? |
