I made basic af alfredo tonight and it was the best god damn alfredo I've ever had. I am now questioning why restaurant alfredo sucks. It's 4 fucking ingredients. And for less than the price a single plate at most restaurants, you can feed 4 people (or have 3 servings at a later time) buying those ingredients and making it yourself.
home cooking based, it astounds me that fast food places and restaurants stay afloat outside of food deserts.
eating out is such a violently bougie habit
I didn't understand how McDonald's is still in business until last week when a coworker said that it makes her feel good, like physically good. So I guess all of the salt and sugar they put in the food actually feels good for most people. It makes me feel disgusting, along with a strong sense of self-loathing over my choice to eat there. So, I haven't been to McDonald's in years. But there's always a line of cars waiting at the drive through and a full parking lot.
When I didn't have a working dishwasher eating out was way more appealing because in addition to no prep, it meant no dishes.
I am now questioning why restaurant alfredo sucks.
Fuck right we do. We ate out tonight and 5 people ordering relatively cheap menu items and only ordering water was over $100.
I’m honestly shocked you were able to feed 5 people for $100 at a restaurant.
Guessing it was an order-at-the-counter/no server/no tip situation?
Likewise. It's usually $70+ including tip for just me and my wife.
Only $20 each? Was this without obligatory tip?
Amusement parks was my biggest "ohhhh now I get it" moment. From the entry fee to the absolutely insane food prices- with a bunch of children, a single day at the park is up there with a few days at the beach
