We eat out a lot. More so over the last few months going through a kitchen remodel. One of the things about eating out a lot is you start to realize how bad these places are. Applebee’s might be the worst restaurant ever. But none of them are particularly good when you eat there a lot. When I grew up (60s and 70s) we hardly ever ate out. When we did it was such a nice experience. Now...meh.
We eat out once or twice a week. We go to 3-4 places we know have the dishes we like and are consistently good. BW3 and Fridays have to be the worst places to eat. Both are nasty and the food sucks. We prefer local over chains.
