Recently had a gorgeous three course meal for $34 (portions all a bit smaller than 'regular', but perfect and much less than the price of ordering ala carte). All of the things I wouldn't fix at home --- love to cook and have the same rule. If I cook it a lot at home, I typically don't want to pay for it.

Sometimes letting others test the new restaurant in town can save you the bother and expense. I find that eating out these days is only a mediocre pleasure. One thing that makes it more fun is to meet up with friends. Then if the food is only average there is at least the company to enjoy.Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-70344841282895886272012-10-25T20:08:02.707-05:002012-10-25T20:08:02.707-05:00The menu looks fun, but if I'm going to that c...The menu looks fun, but if I'm going to that city I head over to Dreamland BBQ.

When I go out for dinner I want a *meal*, not a tiny plate I have to share with a bunch of other people (e.g., four)) who all want a taste.<br /><br />I enjoy small plates as tapas or hors d'oeuvres, but it's not dinner, especially when there are 4 people <br /><br />But for dinner, whether at 6 or 9 pm., if I'm in a nice restaurant (not pizza or Chinese) give me a proper plate of food that's mine.

At least in the Northern US where I live, these are plentiful (flow in from farms) and often cheap. $6 per bag of 2-3 pounds to steam at home makes me never order them steamed out. <br /><br />Order things you'd never cook at home, right?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10207346299129996890noreply@blogger.com
