Unless you're a poorfag and your time is literally worthless, why would you *ever* cook at home?

You're always going to get a better tasting meal from a restaurant
You'll never have to spend hours inefficiently cleaning up every dish in your kitchen and all of the countertops and appliances

You know why profit margins are so thin for restaurants? Because they're all in a race to the bottom and they can't price their food to rip you off or they'll go out of business. They're already barely pricing food above cost. They use loopholes to pay staff under minimum wage (you're expected to subsidize this through tipping, skip the tip and save). They already have way more efficient systems in place to prep, cook and clean than you'll ever have doing the same for one meal at a time.

It's a no-brainer: If you're employed, you'll *save* money by getting takeout and you'll enjoy the convenience and pleasure of getting good food to boot. Don't fall for the home cooking meme that is literally wasting your life away by inefficiently mimicking restaurant quality at best, but most likely wasting your life away to eat bland, shitty food that you're too tired to make properly anyway.

You're a retard who has never heard of "clean as you go." Most nights when I finish dinner, all I have to do is wash like one pan, a pot, and the dishes I ate off of. Takes me 5 minutes.
Oh, and another thing: it's not cheaper to eat out. As someone who used to manage a kitchen, we budget around 30% of the cost of the menu item for ingredients. The other 60% is a mixture of overhead and expenses. That means it usually costs a third of what it would cost at a restaurant to cook the same dish from home.

Like I said, if you're a poorfag and your time is worthless, it makes sense that you pay so much in time. And the fact that you've only "managed" a fast food kitchen confirms it.

I don't unless you count heating things with a microwave.
After buying my house I spent a good chunk of the first year using a frying pan and stove for some basic stuff like eggs and potatoes since I liked how I had a real gas stove and not that electric crap apartments all have but I no longer bother with even that. More effort than it's worth.

High probability that you're not, but even so, it would be more beneficial to pay a cook who can do it just as well without the hassle and wasted time. But it all just goes back to the #1 rule, it's only worth the time if you're a poorfag and the best case scenario is that you're also a decent cook.

You have to wonder though, how much more borrowed time do these NEETs have before their parents kick the bucket? Think of all the delicious restaurant-quality food they could have delivered to their door in minutes if only they had improved their situation instead of cleaning pots and pans after "cooking" Spaghettios lmao

Money, enough money to have a personal chef (slave) or to have a fantastic experience at a four star is what impresses people. If you're a cook you're just slaving away in the kitchen while the adults are having a good time in the dining room.

Different foods have different impacts on the body. A meal at McDonald's affects the body differently than a healthy meal cooked at home.

Wealthy people tend to be better than poors at pretty much everything on average so no it's not.

Anyone can hire someone. People are more impressed by things you do yourself.

15 minutes? It's however long the driver/restaurant decide to take. You have no control over this. I can make a week's worth of meals in an hour and a half.

Anyone can cook. Anyone can wipe their ass. People are equally not impressed.

It's quite simple, literally order food ahead of time if your restaurant is regularly late. Shouldn't be a problem for you though since you take an hour and a half to cook meals anyway, I'm sure you can wait half that time.
> I can make a week's worth of meals in an hour and a half.

Can't relate, but even if it did happen, you could just heat it in the same way you reheat your "week's worth of meals", no?

You'd be wrong. And in any case you're really bragging about ordering salads from restaurants? A salad? That's one of these easiest meals to make at home. Of course you don't order salads from restaurant, you order extremely calorie and sodium dense foods.
>As evidenced by this thread, clearly not.
If these people can post on the internet they can hire someone to make a meal for them.

You don't sound like someone who interacts with people regularly. They love and are impressed by someone who can make food.

Again, correct. What are the rich doing at a party? Not playing the music themselves, that's what. The performer is paid a wage to entertain the rich.

Anyways, I know this a troll thread, but I basically agree with it. Cooking is a huge chore, and if you're not a very good cook (spoilers: I'm not), restaurant food is always going to taste better, because someone is trained in doing it.

I don't order in every meal, but I pretty much microwave everything.

i know this is as bait, as i am sure every poster in this thread does, but i think it just barely misses critiquing an overlooked benefit of learning to cook well: its an aphrodisiac.

i've gotten to a point where i've told women to bring over a couple of basic ingredients from their pantry or refridgerator to my place and then just absolutely wow them with what i've made. it's free to me (and let's face it, to them as well given that their food that i cook would otherwise most likely spoil from lack of use lol) and it really gets them going just from the pure novelty of it all. every guy they've been with up to that point just pays for their dinner, but here i am, making it for them. no wonder i get called daddy so much soon after the meal is over.

I spend $60 a week on groceries. A typical takeout meal in my city costs $12. So assuming 2 full meals per day, that's $168 per week or 2.8x as expensive. When you make less than six figures like me, this is a not insignificant cost savings

>You're always going to get a better tasting meal from a restaurant
Not even fucking close. This just means you're a retard that cooks like shit. 99% of what I make is 100x better than the fucking garbage I can get from dogshit local restaurants, simply because I know what I like and how to get there. Maybe I just have a bad restaurant selection in my area but whatever. I also just enjoy cooking AND preparation. It's like making art. Getting the perfect dice on onions is therapeutic for me. I love cooking pasta and obsessively trying a noodle every 30 seconds until I have that perfect al dente, or breaking down a lobster and getting every little morsel of meat. I'm fine spending a bit more money on high quality/rare ingredients and equipment because it matters and it's like a hobby for me. I'd spend way more if I was into cars or some gay bullshit like that. Go ahead and order up your high fructose corn syrup pig slop, I'll stay in the kitchen busting out masterpieces daily while your bitch sucks demi-glace off my balls.

Untrue.

There was a service minimum wage here - for alcohol servers only. That's been abolished.
>Aside from a larger sink, floor grates, and a bunch of pre-prepped, pre-portioned items, a lot of their time and money is saved by fancying up costco-sized jugs of sauces - ranch, salsa and Italian dressing have become mother sauces.
>"Save"
If I'm paying myself my usual wage for the hours I spend cooking in a week... maybe. I do tend to batch and freeze things, prep a base (mother sauce, broth, etc.) or two for the week, and cook a lot of set-and-forget meals. I also clean while I cook, mise my bullshit in its place, have pretty decent knife skills, and own a dishwasher.

assume 3 meals/day in a restaurant.
probably end up ~$60-$70
Assume earnings of $20/hour, ingredients cost at $10-$20

That's basically 2 extra hours/day i'd need to work at an ok wage.

what's the cost of a dishwasher?

i mean, if I had another way of making money, and my time was priced at something like $50, maybe $100 / hour, then sure, i'd cook for personal enjoyment only, but when I can but a frozen pizza for $1 that's the same as the one going for $10 in a shitty restaurant... well, not a hard choice.

Even if your time is worth an arbitrarily large amount per hour, you can't save time by always eating out. Driving and then waiting in line (which will happen at a quality restaurant) is going to take as much time as it does to cook.

I know this is a troll post but I'm going to play devil's advocate and say OP has a point.
Where I work you can get a steak with fries, greens and peppercorn sauce for ~$20, price varies with the cut and so do the actual sauces + sides but that's not important, what is important is that everything on the menu is priced to give us 80% gross profit, meaning that steak dinner only costs us $4 in ingredients.
You MIGHT be able to buy a steak and some greens for $4 and you might have a bag of fries in the freezer and the stuff to make the sauce lying around, but if it takes you longer than an hour to shop for ingredients, cook everything and clean up then your time is worth less than $16 an hour, which isn't really that much.
I've never made peppercorn sauce at home because I'd end up with unused cream in the fridge going bad. Also I would use oven fries at home which are shit but it's either that or deal with the mess of a pot of oil on the stove or buy a fryer which I'd hardly use and either way I'd have to deal with storing and disposing of used oil. These are examples of things that are easy when you can scale up but a pain in the ass for a week night dinner.
Also talking about price of ingredients, restaurants will always have economy of scale in their favor, unless you only buy things on special or grow your own or buy half a cow and freeze it.
Also for the record I make $12 an hour so of course I cook at home kek

I just sautéed some garbanzo beans in a pan with garlic and tomatoes, probably an 8/10 meal I'd price it at about 30$ in a restaurant.
Cost me about 3$, much better than what I'd get for 3$- I think all you could buy for that it a Micky d's hamboigah or a Taco Bell taco.

This. I married a lady from a very wealthy family, but I'm just a chef; wife's a lawyer, father in law is some big shot engineer who did some kinda super niche thing, and now he consults about it because there's apparently only a few other people who ever knew how to do this super niche thing I don't understand; mother in law is a fucking brain surgeon, and brother in law is the black sheep of his family because all he has is a bachelor's and he does some computer thing I don't understand, that makes way more money than me but apparently isn't enough to make the in laws happy. I have tried, on many occasions, to impress these people with my cooking, going above and beyond, really pushing the limits of my own abilities, and not only are they unimpressed, they usually have made whatever it is I'm making and have their own recipes. Their kitchen looks like my fucking restaurant's kitchen. The only thing that makes them happy is knowing that I'm a business owner, that I own this restaurant; now I don't want to give too much away, but there's a very good chance that I'll get a James beard award, which is just a way of saying that I run a pretty fancy place, and I never see actual rich people there, just young people spending half their checks on a nice night out.

Profit margins are thin on food because it has to be cooked and served. The margins on infredient cost is well known to become profitable at 4x. There's obviously wholesaling involved and restaurants get better deals than individuals but you can expect to be paying at least three times as much to eat the same ingredients at a restaurant that that could prepare at home.
>They're already barely pricing food above cost.
They price it at around 4x cost. What costs the restaurant money is leasing the building, paying staff, making sure all the equipment is functional, etc.

It's also just significantly healthier to cook for yourself, and unless you really suck at it you can easily customize any number of dishes to a quality that outmatches a number of restaurants, though there are certain dishes and things which are too labour intensive or time consuming to produce on an individual scale of course.

You're a retard op. Enjoy spending literally like $30+delivery+tip for your unhealthy, ill-prepared grubhub meals 2-3 times a day like other brainless dickless normies who never learned how to cook anything well into their adulthoods.

Exactly, which is why food margin is razor thin. The restaurant operation is way more efficient than your home cooking which is why there's never been a better time in history for most people to have food made for them, we're literally in a service industry bubble.

I disagree, unless you're buying small amounts of everything specifically for each meal, or pretending to pay yourself while you stand around watching water come to a boil.

$100 can easily get me food and supplies for two for a week. Factoring my time spent actively cooking and doing dishes (we'll round up and say it's an hour a day - it's more like 30 mins, if that) at my current wage, we're hovering around $300. Saturday dinner is usually $50/plate kind of fare, and I'm usually making it for $30 in food cost, and $30 of my time. If I'm making omelettes for breakfast on Sunday morning, I'm using 4 eggs, maybe $3 of cheese if it's expensive cheese, less than $3 of veggies and meat, slicing and dicing for 5 mins absolute max, cooking for 5 total for both omelettes, and rinsing and washing for 5 mins. Our $15 omelette and coffees are more like $15 total including my time.

What the hell are you guys making that's costing you so much?

A few weeks ago and in the beginning of december myself and some other anons on ceekay noticed a larger number of shitposts and troll threads that were racial in nature. Now around that same time there was a tutorial released on how to create your own AI bots using this newfangled easy template for building one out. Basically you just need to have a credit card now and these know-nothing imps can pay for an AI bot template they host on cloud services like AWS. ok, so that is anecdotal proof of something changing in the past month.

Out of All of the crap we talk about online it is hard to pin down bot conspiracies until you have verifiable proof. You may have noticed bots "misfiring" in their posts, where they read two different sentiments in an engagement and try to combine both into a response. When it's not coming from a person it is really jarring and looks like they are switching contexts mid sentence when you see it on here.

So no, its not a shill conspiracy, but I can kinda sorta prove to you that there has been an advancement in AI bot technology and now, accessibility, so you see it more often. Like I said, the barrier of access is just money now to AI and we just went thru a month with a lot of gifted money.

It's because I value my time that I cook at home. I know I will consistently get good quality, PIPING HOT food.

>You're always going to get a better tasting meal from a restaurant

Nein.

>You'll never have to spend hours inefficiently cleaning up every dish in your kitchen and all of the countertops and appliances

Clean as you go. Wash a bowl once you've dumped it's contents in the pan. Put it away. Spray a warm, wrung-out towel with cleaner (Away from the food) and wipe the counters. Wipe the stove and microwave--if you used it--when the cooking is done and before you eat.

>You know why profit margins are so thin for restaurants? Because they're all in a race to the bottom and they can't price their food to rip you off or they'll go out of business. They're already barely pricing food above cost. They use loopholes to pay staff under minimum wage (you're expected to subsidize this through tipping, skip the tip and save).

I don't care and this sounds like ass.

>They already have way more efficient systems in place to prep, cook and clean than you'll ever have doing the same for one meal at a time.

I know. I use these skills and sanitary protocol in my own kitchen.

>It's a no-brainer: If you're employed, you'll *save* money by getting takeout and you'll enjoy the convenience and pleasure of getting good food to boot. Don't fall for the home cooking meme that is literally wasting your life away by inefficiently mimicking restaurant quality at best, but most likely wasting your life away to eat bland, shitty food that you're too tired to make properly anyway.

Burns your tastebuds. Also, hot food tastes best at 98.5 degrees, this is a scientific fact as TRPM5 proteins on the tongue become 100x more sensitive to food at that temperature than foods that are hotter and colder.

>Clean as you go
Still a meme that doesn't change the fact that you're wasting time cleaning.

Doesn't matter, you don't have the capacity, workforce or scale to even get close to matching their efficiency.

Highly doubtful as you didn't even know that PIPING HOT food objectively makes food taste worse. Also, nuking spaghettios in the microwave doesn't make you a cook.

They showed themselves. Minimum wage staff have serious turnover. Experienced staff don't usually make much more - often quit at inopportune times. Places that rely on delivery services such as Sysco or GFS often have to deal with quality issues - IF the goods even show up. Places that rely on outbound delivery services are at the mercy of underpaid drivers. The shittiest fast wood will survive, as it's almost a real-estate game for them now. If larger independent hotels survive, their restaurants will probably get dragged along too, and will probably bounce back after a serious session on life support. Some low-end high class and upper-middle places that have been very flexible and pay their staff well will probably survive. The rest have been skating on thin ice for years. If you want to fish out the produce when that ice breaks, then good on you. I got out of the industry, and the only things I learned that were worth remembering were how to batch prep, and how to shave costs.

Sound like a r/trans denizen. Please, do us a favor, go back. Also, seethe, I'm a better cook than you could ever hope to be, restaurantfag Stuffed poblano peppers is something simple I enjoy. I could stunt on you with what I've made that's truly elaborate.
But, since I'dbe going up against someone with the cooking skills of a toddler, my supposition is all you're capable of on your own would be Easy Mac and Dino nuggies. kys faggot

Maybe if you're getting really cheap takeout, but a meal at a restaurant usually costs $15-20 for me and I can easily make dinner for like $3-5/plate unless I'm doing steaks or something. I don't really mind cleanup, it's easier if you just put stuff away or do dishes whenever you're waiting for something.

There's more than just the raw cost of groceries, you're also forgetting time and money spent at every step including getting to the grocery store, shopping, standing in line, getting home, putting groceries away, cost of appliances etc. Then there's the time and cost of cleanup, which you're attempting to downplay to make cooking at home seem like a superior choice when it's not.

There are many reasons to cook at home, shitty baiter op.
>Price
Going to a good restaurant is rarely cheap. If you value eating decent food, cooking at home will save you a ton of money.
>Ingredients
Eating at home allows you to know exactly what goes into your food. This is useful if you enjoy high quality ingredients, or are on a specific diet.
>Selection
You aren’t limited to a small menu of foods when you cook at home. For example, there aren’t any good Mexican places near me, so if I want Mexican, I have to make it myself.
>Taste
I can cook food that tastes better than the food served at the vast majority of restaurants. Only the top tier restaurants can afford to serve food on par with a good home cook. This isn’t because the majority of chefs are bad cooks, it’s because a restaurant has many limitations that you don’t. You don’t have to pump out hundreds of plates a night. You don’t have to worry about profit margins. Most importantly, you’re not underpaid and overworked. You (hopefully) actually give a shit about what you eat, so will put effort into making your food.
>Enjoyment
Making things is fun. Learning new things is fun. This applies to cooking as well.
>Freedom to choice
If you want to make an ancient Roman fish recipe at home, you can do that. If you want to modify one of your recipes and put your own spin on it, you can do that. If you want to fine tune your meal to your exact liking, you can do that. It’s YOUR kitchen and YOUR food, so you can do whatever the hell you want with it.

All this to say, OP is a tastelet, a cheflet, and a brainlet. The peak of food to him is an Applebee’s steak. Anyone can tell that if you want to eat good food, the only sustainable option is to cook at home. If you’re fine with Chili’s tier microwaved sloppa, then feel free to continue stuffing your face with frozen garbage. Otherwise, try cooking at home. You might even enjoy it.

Most restaurants serve literal slop. I do cold store deliveries to hundreds of restaurants and cafes in my city. The number of high end/boutique restaurants I deliver precooked shit to is unbelievable. Precooked steaks, ribs, vegetables, mashed potato, rice, frozen avocado, powdered soups, the list of horrors goes on and on. A high class establishment serving precooked potato and steaks is unforgivable
