Only if the food isn’t crazy expensive. Point being though you’re less focused on the food and it‘s something familiar or simple where you’re not even really thinking about it. Yeah and you’re not in the mood to try something wild tonight or deal with wherever is the most hyped at the minute. Maybe you even know people who work there or own the place. Allows you to focus and be more perceptive of the environment, the people you’re with, community, the vibes etc. The food is really only part of the equation in a truly good dining experience. It just has to be good enough- other things can truly make the difference and the final score.

i know that it’s controversial, but hear me out:
1. you get to see what other people are doing. all the families having dinner or discussing their days, love it.
2. it is the most main character thing to do
3. idk it just feels cool
4. you don’t have to cook and clean after yourself
so a restaurant is a win win!

went to a kbbq spot with some friends i hadn’t seen in a while and it was so much worse than when we used to come a few years ago. honestly it didn’t matter tho if anything it made the night much funnier. the food doesn’t have to be great if the company is. for optimal results maybe drink 5 modelos before going to the restaurant too.

perhaps this is a basic bourdain pick and it’s always circulating the internet but this quote singlehandedly changed my brain chemistry and is something i remind myself of often

I don’t believe in ranking things- restaurants, albums, books, movies, athletes anything, top x lists whatever. I think it’s a waste of time honestly. Even with a completely objective criterion what’s the point. Would rather listen to and read people just talk about their favorite things and why they are special and meaningful to them- everyone has their own, interesting reasons. And this is a great place to do that!
