$52 for a meal out that include two alcoholic beverages, a appitzer, and two entrees is normal and on the less expensive side, with tip it was $65. Just going to 5 guys runs close to $20. Remember we had two separate entrees so if we cooked at home we would have had to make a meatloaf and a chicken pot pie. For us that's a joy of eating out, order hat you want, no prep, people wait on you and no clean up.
We eat about 75 percent of our dinners at home. When we have steak it's almost always at home because there are no good steaks to be had in TV. Same with seafood, fish is the easiest thing to cook at home. A good tuna steak around 8 ounces cost $5 at fresh market, make a mango, peach and jalapeño salsa and we have a great dinner for less than $10 pp that would cost close To $40 pp at Lopez and ours is much better.

Like Madeleine, we only go out to eat what we don't do at home--we would never go out to eat--mac & cheese, meatloaf, burgers, and breakfast

Not rocket science to cook any breakfast item==we primarily go out for fish and prime rib-- and barbecue, sushi

What this discussion really comes down to is that we are all basically the same ...............

So far the majority of us go out for what we don't want to cook at home or that we cannot cook at home, and we stay home for what we can cook and enjoy in our own homes.

Life is good. :thumbup:

Bonny, I see you've been to Guy's twice--that we KNOW about. ;) Tell me, please, how were the lines to get in?
