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.

If you're single and making $30/hour, then yeah you probably are better off getting takeout than spending 30-60 minutes to make it yourself if you don't enjoy cooking. The more family members you have though the more economic sense cooking makes.

It's not about who handles your food... it's about the amounts of fat, salt and sugar in your usual restaurant meals. Those are a big part of the reason why homemade versions of the same dishes never quite taste the same.

>> No.18127534

Restaurants don't sell what I cook and for some things they do, it's far more time efficient to make them at home (burgers, for example) than to get them out.

If I'm going out to eat, I'm getting shit too time consuming to make myself.

True, make sure you add enough fat, salt and sugar to your food, unlike >>18127520 who doesn't know how to cook.

There is no time pressure at home and I have 10 years of experience cooking for myself every week and tailoring my recipes to my exact taste, I will always make better food than the restaurant.

>You'll never have to spend hours inefficiently cleaning up every dish in your kitchen and all of the countertops and appliances
I own a dishwasher that does this for me, I don't need to clean the countertops because I don't spill shit because I can prepare and cook at my leisure.
