With money being tight right now, it's a real treat to go out, but, more often than not I'm totally disappointed in what they serve. I can make a much superior quality for less money, and enjoy it more at home or at friend's homes.
I can also control the ingredients (salt and sugar for example), and crap chemicals used in a lot of restaurant food.....I should know, I ran one, and worked in lots, for over 25 years....!!!...
