I’m a single guy with disposable income but not a lot of free time. I tried maximizing my free time by eating out so I didn’t have to cook.
Between traffic, tipping culture, inflation and shrinkflation, I said fuck it and started making my own food. I was surprised how easy it is. I used to spend $35 on a salmon plate dinner but I made the same fucking thing for $8. The store even seasoned it for free. I feel stupid for thinking that restaurants were doing something special with the food.
