/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Following your logic, why do restaurants exist at all? Anything you can get in a restaurant can also be made at home.

Sometimes people just don't feel like cooking at home, don't have time to cook, or aren't near their home when they get hungry and want to go out to eat instead. If you prefer to cook hot dogs at home, more power to you. If someone else doesn't want to and would prefer to go out somewhere to get a hot dog, that's their decision.

Maybe you should go get the meds for your autism increased.

>hot dogs
>easy to make
Yeah, have you ever made a hot dog? It isn't that easy, especially when your casing bursts. Plus there's all that meat you have to grind.

>Put a dog in the microwave
I'm fairly certain that's animal curelty

I think you're missing the point. Restaurants make food a lot of people can't make or don't know how to make at home. A hot dog is so simple a 5 year old can do it. In fact hot dogs are probably the first food most kids ever learn how to cook. The same isn't true for a szechuan stir-fry - that's beyond the average Joe's capabilities, where it's easier to just phone it in. But a fucking hot dog... how lazy can you be to not wait two minutes until it's cooked? The only food easier to make is cereal, and that's only because it doesn't require heating.

I think it's for people who aren't in their homes all day.

I don't understand your butthurt. Nobody is forcing you to buy from this restaurant.

>Restaurants make food a lot of people can't make or don't know how to make at home.

Wrong! Restaurants make food that people are willing to pay for.

>>4719402
I think you're missing the point I was making that not everyone feels like cooking at home, has the ingredients at home, or is even at home when they feel like having a hot dog.

Yes, we all know that hot dogs are easy to make at home. However, people like to have the option to go out and get a hot dog in a restaurant as well.

If you think it's stupid then by all means, continue to make hot dogs at home.

>>4719409
Not butthurt, just amazed they could stay in business this long.

>>4719420
They provide a decent quality product for a reasonable price and have store locations in areas that are convenient for their target customers.

Same way any other franchise stays in business.

As a pro chef, you can go fuck yourself.

Restaurants exist not for people too lazy or inept to learn to cook for themselves, restaurants exist so people can go out with their friends, their families, have a good time, enjoy a meal, enjoy a conversation and enjoy some company without any hassle. People go to restaurants because they want to be entertained, they want a bit of atmosphere that isn't being sat in front of the telly all week.

Obviously somewhere along the line someone has said "yes, I enjoy a good American style hot dog, I want other people to enjoy them as much as I do. I'll make that happen."

And I'd much rather go out to your Wienerschnitzel than microwave a frankfurter...

I miss Wienerschnitzel

>>4719440
No, people go to restaurants to enjoy good food. If all they wanted to do was socialize and party any bar would work.

>>4719420

Are you really this fucking stupid?

>>4719402
>stir-fry
>beyond average Joe's capabilities

That's pretty condescending considering stir fry requires practically no effort.

>>4719517
Not everyone owns a wok.

>>4719527

Since when was owning a wok fall into the category of "effort"?

>implying you *need* a wok to make "stir fry"

>eating Wienershit hot dogs

Superior hot dog restaurant comin through.

>>4719547
eh?

wait...the fucking chain is called Wienerschnitzel and doesn`t even serve german/austrian food.

dumb fucking americans, I can´t believe it.

>Weinerschnitzel
>Hot dog
I thought that was breaded pork.

>>4719587
No American wants to eat authentic german food. We like foreign food to be Americanized, like Taco Bell's take on mexican.

>>4719589
It's veal actually.

This is a Schnitzel. It is not a Hotdog.

>>4719371
Wait, why are they called Wienerschnitzel if they don't serve wienerschnitzels? If I went into a restaurant called Steak I would be fucking pissed if they didn't serve steak.

I don't know, they have this restaurant called "WOW DAWGS" here that just serves hot dogs and fries. If I wanted a hot dog I'd buy Hebrew National at the store much closer to home, and if I wanted to eat out with friends I'd go somewhere with comfortable seats and more atmosphere than a bus station.

>steak n shake

I had that place before and I don't get the hype. You could probably just make those things yourself at home. I mean, sure, it was good, but I expected them to taste a helluva lot better from the way people got all excited about it and from the way they seriously made it seem like they were serving the best hot dogs in the world, with the celebrity pictures all over their walls.
