[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quick question from an immigrant.  I heard from DH that eating out was not the norm while he was growing up, but when I moved to US in early 90s his family was eating out a lot. He said that is the time they started going more and more to restaurants and ordering food. I see a trend of eating out even more now and I am wondering if my DH's experience is true for a lot of people who grew up in the States?[/quote]

I grew up in the 70s. Eating out was VERY rare. Yes, it is happening more and more. We did not always have afancy dinner when my mother was too tired, but we did not resort to restaurants. We did the omlette thing, or even oatmeal or cornmeal. We loved that. [/quote]

I grew up in the 70-80s in CA.  Yes, eating out was rare.  We'd go to a nice restaurant for a special occasion and maybe fast food/take out for dinner once every month or two.

DH grew up in the 60-70s in southern VA in a lower income family.  He never ate at a restaurant until he was in college.[/quote]
