Cooking vs Restaurants

RE: Cooking vs Restaurants
(September 13, 2021 at 12:09 am)Astreja Wrote: Tonight's dinner was a classic example of why we prefer cooking to restaurants:  Lamb chops with a fresh mint and red wine reduction, and carrots with ginger and honey.  Four herbed lamb chops, about $12.  Had half a bag of carrots in the fridge and some ginger root in the freezer.  Picked the mint from the front garden and deglazed the frying pan with a splash of some wine I already had.  Total cost for a gourmet supper for two people:  Maybe $15-16 CDN.

That sounds nice.  That's a $20 per plate meal at my favorite Greek restaurant.  Plus you have to deal with whatever nonsense is going on at the restaurant.  Lines, noise, crappy music and my least favorite of all, TV's everywhere all tuned to Faux Newz.

I hadn't mentioned this before but my favorite fast food joint is Bojangles.  I do like their food but the most attractive component is they play classical music only.  I don't think they need music at all but if they're determined to play music, let it be classical.
Why is it so?
