Do you like to eat at home or to eat in a restaurant? Personally I prefer to eat at home, especially when I prepare the food by myself, as it tastes more better.

More better?

I like to eat at home because it is cheaper and my wife is an awesome cook. I can't even remember the last time I ate at a restaurant that didn't have a Happy Meal on the menu.

i spent 30 years not knowing how to cook, eating out at restaurants, fast food and frozen dinners at home. I've spent the last two years teaching myself how to cook and now that I can, I'll never go back. Some things I cook better than anything I've ever had in a restaurant. And like grinch said, not only cheaper but leftovers are great. I'll be cooking BBQ baked chicken and homemade noodles this Saturday for Mom's 72nd birthday. Be cooking for ten family members total.

Damn ATNO that reminds me, we smoked brisket last night and it turned out fantastic. I was going to get a picture but completely forgot.

I liked resturaunts when I was younger because my mom thought the only two settings on the stove were high and off.

I'd rather cook now though.

It is not important at all where I eat. What matters to me is who I eat with.

That was probably a retarded answer I just said. Generally, I am more like a family person. So, if I eat alone, I would prefer to eat at home. It is because the home setting reminds me of 'family'. I can cook rice, vegetables, some fish. I guess some meat too. It is not that hard to make chinese food. Boiling water, and I would put everything in. Usually at that stage of time, sequence is important. For example, I would put in meat first before eggs, tomatoes or other vegetables will be the last. My mom says it is like that. It would some how keep the vegetables vitamins. She also said tomato is best eat while it is cooked. On contrary, some would think eating raw would best benefit from the vitamins.

I like both but, I limit how much I eat out because I'm cheap... its also hard to control what kinds of foods you eat.
Lately I've been trying to actually have a good diet.
When you make your own food that's pretty easy to do...

Ok I'm switching my answer to takeout.

There's a new Mongolian Grill right across the street from me.
The guy at the front counter hands you a huge bowl full of pork, beef, chicken, or any combination of the 3 that you take over to the vegetable cooler where you try to find room in your bowl to put vegetables.
From there you move to the sauce counter where there's 6-8 sauces you can ladle into your bowl, as well as chopped garlic and hot peppers.

Once you have this bowl full of stuff you move over to this giant grill that looks like a 3 foot wide solid steel dome heated by 3 gas burners underneath & watch them cook it right there in front of you.

The whole process doesn't take 5 minutes & at just a little more than fast food would cost it's the best lunch I've had in quite awhile. :D
