I think there is honestly ample opportunity for private chefs, but needs to be people willing to defer entirely to the customer’s preferences. I interviewed a couple people whose qualifications were “people love my food!” and they had too many opinions. I can pay whatever but I expect execution and not offering stupid thoughts that involve cheap unhealthy ingredients. Like make salmon with barely any oil and salt that tastes delicious. Obviously if you’re pouring cream and cheese into your food people will eat it - that’s not the point.

And I'm consistently disappointed with what we get for the inflated prices.
+1. It’s been a long time since I had restaurant food that tasted better than okay.
The food is just terrible at most places now. We eat at home almost exclusively- even for special occasions- and I don’t miss going out at all. The rising prices don’t affect us, but it just got to a point where nothing was as enjoyable as what we could prepare ourselves. I even get up extra-early and cook or make sandwiches to pack in a cooler for long car trips because hardly anything is edible. I guess it’s not just us who thinks this!
This is what we do now too pp. The last time I ate fast food on a road trip I felt awful, so no more. We also make sandwiches or something for the road.
Exactly. Ordering dumplings in a restaurant? Pretty plate, dipping sauces. Oh these are the exact ones I can get at costco. No thanks.
Same. Majority of restaurant food relies heavily on some variation of Sysco/Gordon Foods garbage; low quality, cheap ingredients, lots of factory pre-made elements that are doctored up a bit and heated, then add a huge price tag. No thanks
