yeah i dont get the culture of constantly eating at restaurants and food trucks rather than cooking your own food. i guess ti is bughive culture, live in an expensive city with a tiny shitty aprtment without a kitchen and you are forced to live off of restaurants. that or my other explanation would be just lack of cooking knowledge/laziness of the current generation.

me personally i eat at a restaurant maybe once every few months. i just dont get the appeal.

I do it for things that I want that I don't make sense for me to make at home. Sushi would take more time and money for the little bit I eat it to make myself.

It's fun and very enjoyable as a treat, but not something you wanna be doing all the time unless money is no object to you. There's about 1000 good restaurants to visit and I'd like to try them all if I could. It can get expensive, which is why you don't do it all the time.

I actually bought food from places much more when I was single. It was just easier to be lazy some evenings and at the time McDonalds had those $1.00 double cheeseburgers. After work, not feeling like going shopping or spending time cooking, I'd just get 2 or 3 of those and be done with it.

I only eat out when I'm either on vacation or with family on new years eve or something. But other than that I usually cook myself. But I would agree that its probably lazyness or just lack of skill/knowledge how to feed yourself properly.

I eat out with the better 3/4's sometimes it's just nice to get dressed up, go for a meal and some dancing (ok spastic dancing on my part) we do it about once a month just to get out the house and get dressed up for a change.

When eating in, we 99.9% of the time cook for ourselfs we just like cooking and she's prety good at it. But when we're ordering in we go for a sloppy Donner or a Filthy pizza and some coke because it's a change of pace and fun to watch a bad film and laugh.

When I'm Out and About I rarely eat out but when I do it's normally a greasy spoon for a full English and bottomless cup of tea.

Makes the ladies go crazy
And I only go out like once a month or so. Greasy spoon diners here have all died outside denny's and a couple of crack shacks that get shot up daily so I don't really have a reason to order out anymore, and fast food has long since been too expensive for how shit it is.

I usually just eat out if I don’t feel like cooking after work. It’s expensive in general and don’t understand how people can afford to do it.

I eat out a lot. That Wendys 4 for $4 with the free jr frosty coupon is still my go-to for a quick meal and dessert. McDonalds also has that $5 chicken sandwich, med fries, and med drink deal which is worth it if you get the deluxe. Grubhub also has $5 off $10 coupons with free pickup that go out quick so I use that at my local restaurants for cheap meals. Some Subways also have that freefootlong coupon active so I use that too, buy chips, and eat Subway for the rest of the day. Eating is just something for survival so I really don't care if it's super healthy or not. I just don't want to be hungry.

If I am at home and manage to cook before I reach hunger, it's annoying to cook without people floating around me. People asking me why I dont cook for them, telling me how to cook, or otherwise being a nuisance. I'd rather just walk out and buy something without annoying voices. I typically just cook rice and whatever meat was cheapest at Aldi or PriceRite with them. Eggs is easiest but chicken thighs and steak is best. Sometimes the ribs go on sale and I gun for those because that's a few days worth of good eating. Perdue meat is shit, but I love the way they individually pack their meat for preservation in fridge. I guess I should just invest in freezer bags.

I try to cook 3 nights a week with leftovers another 3 days. 1 night a week we like to order out. Sometimes more sometimes not at all, but it breaks the monotony of eating at home.

I have friends that eat out every night and then complain about how expensive it is. Eating out should be a treat, not a state of living.
