[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regular places are absolutely not worth the money to me as it will be $150 for lunch at a mediocre place for my family if 4. And high end places piss me off with their unearned self importance and $200+ price tag for two which is boring, unoriginal, and just, you know… fine. The shows that glorify chefs may be part of the problem. Stop taking yourselves so seriously. You create something that lasts a few minutes and isn’t life changing and you want *how much* for it? No. You are not Michelangelo. Whatever you’re doing is simply not that effing hard. No thank you. I am 100% disenchanted with the food industry.  A bunch of self important, uncreative, narcissistic, mediocre trolls. I’m mostly done. [/quote]

Do what the rest of us do. Pay for meals you crave but that you cannot make at home. Just had a $16 bowl of ramen with a few dollars worth of gyoza that made me very happy. I can do a killer beef Wellington myself at home. [/quote]

The only take out we spend on are things like sushi, Ethiopian food, dumplings, etc. We also take out Mexican food because we just can’t make it as good at home and it usually leaves us with leftovers and isn’t insanely priced yet.

I’m tired of fancy “new American” places charging an arm and a leg for what is basically upscale bar food. No, I don’t want to pay $24 for a French dip sandwich or buy an $18 flat bread.

Occasionally we admit defeat at the end of the week and order pizza for our family of 5 even though we can make that at home. But I always have a promo code since I have the store app and we do curbside pickup to avoid delivery fees. Through using BOGO deals I’ve gotten our order down to ~$25 including a $2 tip. I’m willing to throw that much at not cooking at the end of the work week. [/quote]

You tip your delivery person $2? Holy cheapskate. [/quote]
