I'll never understand the normie compulsion to eat at restaurants.
>Costs way more than making food yourself
>No control over how it's prepared
>Zero verification that the person making it is being sanitary
>Spend so much time just sitting there waiting for them to attend to you
>Anyone with food allergies is fucked
>Seats and tables are almost always sticky
>Always crowded and noisy
There's no logical reason to eat at a restaurant instead of making food yourself, yet normies think I'm a fucking lunatic when I tell them I don't do restaurants.

As always it's about status and experience

Based post anon. I agree

>>81906209 (OP)
Normies are drones whose only purpose is to spend money.

1. you don't have the skills or the equipment to prepare food in the way that many restaurants do
2. you go to restaurants for a social experience. that's why nobody ever eats alone at one. it goes without saying that restaurants are far more convenient in terms of location and scheduling for people to gather at, compared to a potluck or some dinner party where one guy hosts.

I fully agree.
If I'm gonna eat food I didnt make myself, I prefer something super fast and cheap, like a hotdog stand or something similar. Obviously can't really trust the hygiene there either, but at least I can kinda see my food being made and it's cheap and fast.

i eat out because im too lazy and adhd to make food at home
>you are a pathetic piece of garbage
thanks

i like restaurants but i'm not gonna go into one and eat there. further more i think the restaurant model should be changes into communal kitchens and we should do away with grocers.
don't @ me

If you have friends eating out at a restaurant together is great. Eating exotic foods, drinking exotic drinks, talking and laughing about anything and everything with no care for time or money. That's the life.

>Skills
Unless you're going to a Michelin Star restaurant the "skills" are usually no more than "put shitloads of salt and MSG on everything"

Good points.
I only go when it's not busy and never pay more than 10-15.
I don't enjoy the cooking clean-up at home, so I usually cook food that comes in cookable containers.
The only large dinner I prepare is my own Christmas dinner and a New Year dinner.
I've cooked steak at home, and it's never quite as good as it is in my local pub.
I also enjoy fried breakfasts that are too messy/complicated to make at home.

>muh salt and another type of salt
look, buddy, if you're good enough to cook at a level that you could easily get paid to do it and you're just doing it for free (he does it for free), be so for fucking real now.

>>81906209 (OP)
It's even more absurd when you realize cooking toxifies food, reduces digestibility, and causes loss/displacement of nutrients. Some restaurants serve raw meat, but even then it's overpriced and still comes with all the other cons of restaurants. Normalniggers are useless retarded moneywasters. Their lives revolve around harming themselves, harming everyone around them, and misallocating resources

Bro you're gonna make yourself sick

>>81906954
It's no use the schizo thinks tapeworms are fake because his brain is damaged from Thiamine deficiency

Protip:
Don't go to trashy places with sticky seats

There are exactly two reasons to go to restaurants:
Saving the effort
And the taste of food.
A lot of stuff that's prepared at restos is just not viable to do at home. You will pay much more in raw ingredients for this one night experience of excellent food (its not as good the next day, never), while in restaurant they buy in bulk. So it ends up being more economic if you want some really really good food.

Bro even fast food is more expensive than cooking food yourself anymore.
A pound of ground beef costs $5 or $6 but a single quarter pounder from McDonalds costs more than that.

The modern restaurant experience is a cargo cult. They used to offer convenience (fast made slop, reststop for travellers in the middle of nowhere) and local specialities.
That aside, the rich had their own chefs and would organize banquets, the poor would cook communally for big events.
Inns became hotels and would still showcase local produce. Tourism became bigger and they would import food but still have their own regional twist on it.
Now every city in a given country has the same few specialities and every city on earth has a steakhouse and a sushitent.
Now it's for "le experience" and "le social aspect" as if cooking or even just dining together with friends in the comfort in your own home is inferior to sitting in a le fancy place where you get a decent meal.

Yeah you seem to have forgotten that burgers also have sauces and veg and buns, and if you buy all of those you will spend around 30 dollars and will have leftover shit you have nothing to do with.

>>81907109
the very concept of burgers was born out of convenience when you are in a rush. you're not supposed to cook burgers for yourself lol. it's a thing for large gatherings or (LITERALLY) fast food.

but yeah its obviously cheaper to cook for yourself in general. the only reason you would want fast food for the taste or the price is if you have severe mental brain retardation.

people buy food because you dont have to spend an hour to cook it, you just s how up and chill and drink while some cucked wage slave does it for you

>>81906209 (OP)
1. You can get food you cant cook yourself.
2. Its night of a leisure. Your own state affects your ability to enjoy meal. If you was tired from making food and then another hour of plates cleaning awaits its not possible to totally relax and chill. In restaurant you start sipping wine and chill with company lazy and relaxed.

But yeah like average restaurant experience is subpar. Normies make shortcuts and turns what was supposed to be feast into some hassle.
