[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get takeout more often than I’d like because cooking feel’s unmanageable after a long day.

But at the end of the meal I often feel like the food was meh and not worth it.

We do plenty of easy meals like ramen with tofu. Any other quick or frozen ideas that aren’t pizza?[/quote]

Salmon, rice, veg. Dinner in 30 minutes.
Chicken thighs and veg on a sheet pan. Dinner in 40 minutes.
Steak, steak fries, salad. Dinner in 30 minutes.

There is literally no excuse for not cooking. It's always faster, cheaper, healthier, hotter, and tastier.[/quote]

Reasons to eat in a restaurant 
- enjoy the atmosphere and service
- eat foods that are too technical, too much labor, difficult to procure the proper ingredients for, require cooking apparatus that I don’t have, involves prepping several days beforehand, etc. Off the top of my head, this includes dim sum, sushi, bbq, paratha, dosas, dishes that require wok stations, professional pastries, wood fired items, coal fired items, true neopolitan pizza, ramen with broth that requires 12h of boiling pork bones, homemade tofu, etc
- the opportunity to try new foods and cuisines that I would never attempt at home. I would never eaten tayoyaki, or dal makhani, or doner kebab if not for restaurants. 
- enjoy the occasion of eating out and conversing without distractions [/quote]
