    I think eating out is a waste of time.

    It takes 10-25 minutes to drive to the restaurant location. It takes 5-20 minutes to be seated. It takes 5-15 minutes to place order. It takes 20-40 minutes for food to be delivered. It takes 15-30 minutes to eat. It takes 5-10 minutes to receive bill and pay. It takes 10-25 minutes to return home. Full trip, in short, is slightly over an hour.

    Don't get me wrong, I really do enjoy eating out every now and then, but I think doing it daily would get under my skin. Just too much sitting around doing nothing. I have a fantastic seafood place by my house that I'm usually in and out of within 45 minutes, so I do go there quite often, but overall it just seems like a waste of time.

    Am I the only one or do some of you agree?

      Yes, I agree that eating out daily is too much. A home cook meal is a good treat at any given time.

          We have the occasional week where we wont eat out every day, for the most part though, its actually a convenience for us to eat out all the time.

          No cooking, no cleaning up, no having to go grocery shopping each week.

          The time spent actually speaking over dinner is well worth the money spent on the meal to us.

                  Depends on your lifestyle. If you're single and do not enjoy cooking, eating out is more convenient.

                      also factor in gas money used to get to and from said restaurant

                      Often times I wonder why
                      There's love and hate, theres live or die.
                      When sickness comes I must decide:
                      When feelings go, theres suicide.

                                  how does different food take longer to eat? i eat a lot faster so even 15-30 minutes is a lot for me. unless im eating crab legs or something that requires extra work.

                                      It eats up not just your time but also your money... You'll still save money you just dine in instead of eating out.

                                                  Because almost 70% of all Americans are obese and have no clue how to look after their bodies.

                                                              I'd have to agree with that. Besides, if I cook and stay at home, I'm still trying to work rather than enjoy the moment and the food. Getting out of the house allows me to be somewhere I can just concentrate on good food and good company.

                                                                                                  Here in Sydney I have noticed that mains have jumped in price in the last year from the 25-$35 bracket to 35-$55, starters are going for the $20-30 mark, top it off with a nice bottle of wine or two and I'm looking at 2-$300 just for me and the wife to go out, and thats just a standard resturant, start going somewhere really good and expect to have a $500-1000 bill for 2.

It takes 5-20 minutes to be seated. It takes 5-15 minutes to place order. It takes 20-40 minutes for food to be delivered. It takes 15-30 minutes to eat. It takes 5-10 minutes to receive bill and pay. It takes 10-25 minutes to return home. Full trip, in short, is slightly over an hour.

                                                                                                                          Don't get me wrong, I really do enjoy eating out every now and then, but I think doing it daily would get under my skin. Just too much sitting around doing nothing. I have a fantastic seafood place by my house that I'm usually in and out of within 45 minutes, so I do go there quite often, but overall it just seems like a waste of time.

                                                                                                                          Am I the only one or do some of you agree?

Nothing beats a good homemade meal. I'm lazy and don't really like cooking but I'd much, much rather take the time to cook at home than eat the crap served in most restaurants.

                                                                                                                                                      I grew up with an old fashioned Italian mom that is a fantastic cook. She cooks better than all her Italian friends and even her family back in Italy. Plus I lived at home with her till I was 26 so I'm overly used to good homemade meals.

                                                                                                                                                      You'll RARELY if ever see me order pasta in a restaurant. Pasta is by far my favorite food and I rarely can find a restaurant that has any decent pasta dishes. The sauces always suck ass and I can tell they come from a can, LOL.
