[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I eat out a lot[/b] in Europe[b].  There, they expect you to use the table all evening.  They don't assume people come to eat and leave, they assume that you are out for socializing over nice food. I have to admit that I like it better there, even though the food is more expensive, and so one eats out less often.

In the United States, we just have to make everything feel like a factory.  Stand here.  Don't stand there.  Rush Rush Rush.  No clogging the machine.  Restaurants in the US actually play music designed to make conversation impossible and to drive people out of the restaurant as quickly as possible.  I guess it is okay if you think the purpose of a restaurant is to avoid cooking, as just a way to refuel, but not if you think if it as entertainment.[/quote]

These types of comments are obnoxious.  This is true on the entire continent of Europe, huh?  All restaurants in Europe expect you to sit at a table for the entire night?

Not all restaurants in Europe are a tourist-centered French street-side bistro.....[/quote]
