Eating out is overrated and most of the time not worth the money.

I don't understand why people love dining out so much. There are a few reasons why I don't like going out to eat. First and foremost, it's too damn expensive. I can make a 3 course meal for myself and my wife for $15. We can go out to eat for $40-$50 which is a God damn rip off. Number two. The food is inferior to what you can make at home. We've been to high end restaurants where they just-door their food. I've had Mccormack Indian Cuisine from a packet that was better than what I had at a high end restaurant. My wife made a Provençale lasagne that was better than a 5 star restaurant. <br><br>Number 3, restaurants are too busy. I like to take my time eating. No thank you, I don't want to eat my appetizer, main course and desert in the allotted hour the restaurant gives you. I want to savor my food. I don't want to get there early only for the bar tender to say they can't serve alcohol until 10am. Seriously, I'm hungry, serve me my fucking food.<br><br>Number 4, the noise level. There are too many people in the restaurant, it's so loud you can't even hear yourself think. The restaurant is packed with annoying people who have no idea how to eat. A lot of times they'll be annoying drunks who think that just because you happen to be at the table next to them, you must also know them. Now they want to chat. Fuck off mate, you're obnoxious.<br><br>Eating out is terrible. It's expensive, the food is inferior, the restaurants are too busy, the noise level is annoying and the food is too rushed. Please just avoid eating out. The only time I'd recommend eating out is when the food is authentic and you can't make it yourself. Otherwise, save your money.
