I have actually not tried the dog food, it might be better.

There's no way you can make a better breakfast than a good restaurant.

You can make better anything than a good restaurant

Breakfast is the easiest one to do

You 'can' but it takes years of craft learning.
Otherwise it's just in ones head and being proud of what they had made.

Also restaurants have access to better meat and food and such.

You pulling all of that out of your ass? Everyone has access to quality meat and produce and ingredients, on par with, if not better than, what restaurants can get because as an individual you have more freedom with what you choose to spend, as you don't have to factor in passing on the cost to customers.

And even if you're not a great cook, even a fairly capable cook can learn a recipe within a day. Doesn't take "years of craft learning" lol

And this. This is also why I was saying earlier that oddly enough breakfast food can be more difficult than a lot of typical supper meals. Meals prepped for supper usually just require following a recipe and directions whereas with breakfast, timing is far more crucial. I forget who it was but one of those famous TV chefs said that you can tell a good cook from a bad one by how they cook eggs

I, sadly, have cooked my whole life, and never had anyone cook for me. I also love food. Therefore, I am a very good cook. Even food I don't eat (like eggs) I make extremely well. If you cook something long enough, over and over, and keep improving on it over the years, it becomes very hard to find anywhere that will even approach tasting as good.

My lasagna for instance converts people who don't even like lasagna, and usually leaves them in a stupor from which it is almost impossible to move. Diets do not exist when I make my lasagna, and I can count the number of people who stopped eating after an initial square, ........well I can't count them because it has never happened.

As far as ingredients, you can almost always get better yourself if your willing to pay for it, and sadly most even good places do not spend the money for the quality ingredients. They are out to make a profit, and they do, often charging 20+$ for a steak that would cost $6 at the store. You can spend 12$ for a much better steak and as long as you actually know how to cook it, there is no way a restaurant can compete because you are starting off with better ingredients.

Then there is the time factor. For some of my meals I spend hours making one meal. Not usually for breakfast it's true, but most places can't or won't spend that much time. The best sauces take awhile to create. I love to eat out, and I search far and wide for the best places to eat. When I go on a trip, it's the first thing I research. The only pasta sauces I have ever encountered that would compare to mine are from Itallian grandmothers and that was many many years ago. Pot roasts fall apart (not hard to do, but how often do you get that when eating out), chicken is juicy, falling apart, and delicious (same, half the time it's dry, the better places are not horrid, but yeah try my grey poupon roast chicken sometime and then be happy with rotisserie etc chickens).

For breakfast though it's honestly the ingredients most of the time. Many use frozen potatoes for their hash browns instead of shredding their own, and almost none use good quality sausage (to the point where bud bay near me was noteworthy (I posted on here about it) because they do).

And Bacon....do like 99.5% of all breakfast places use the cheapest bacon or something? I mean seriously. There is a huge difference between thick slices of quality bacon, and the cheap oscar myers crap.

There are places that make good breakfasts though, not chains, which is why I gave them an 8. At home, you can spend the time and make the food exactly how you want it...so you can ensure it's a 10. If you are VERY lucky you can find a breakfast place nearby that hits most of the marks, uses good ingredients, and knows how to cook them. Even so, they will probably only go with pure potatoes in their hash brows (no onions/bell peppers etc), and many will cook with very little or no oil/butter (can still be good, but great hashbrowns are hard to find lately for some reason. Half of the ones that do shred their own, don't know how to cook the hash browns so it's raw or undercooked in the middle and/or burnt on the outside.

I rarely go out for breakfast now, it's fast to make it at home, cheaper, and you know what your gonna get.

Uh most restaurants use the same food suppliers as every other restaurant which are definitely not on par with the stores I use. If you think Sysco/Gordon's/PFG/ARAMARK are some high quality you're mistaken...

They have access to cheaper things. Not better. Some restaurants, very few, actually take the take time to source things daily from local markets

The most annoying thing about breakfast food for me is I don't have a big griddle to make a bunch of pancakes or French toast at once. It takes so dang long. By the time I'm done cooking breakfast for 2 I'm usually hot and out of appetite.

But the actual making of the food is easy and cost of ingredients is much lower than most meals (for meat eaters anyway). Pancakes in particular are ridiculously cheap to make well

Breakfast is easy once you get the hang of it but I've never had any trouble following recipes. If you're good at following directions, most meals are easy to prepare I feel like. I think the main thing is that it just usually takes a lot more ingredients and more time to prepare.

But yeah, I also have the issue of not having a large skillet. I'd love to a really large one where I can throw on like 5 pieces of French toast at once or just It's an easy problem to solve really but it's one of the last purchases on my list at the moment

I find the consistently hardest part of cooking is making sure everything is done enough without overdoing it. That's the kind of thing where I think it's fair to say experience and having a "feel" for it actually does matter. You can't just follow the time on the directions because there are so many variables: Your cookware, your stove/oven, elevation, how much you thawed the ingredients before hand, how thick you made your cuts, etc.

~snip~

You can usually ensure a 10/10 at home as long as you know how to cook. But it also depends on what youre rating it against. For example, I would say that both my mom and grandma(the two who taught me how to cook) make better breakfast than I do. It doesnt mean mine is bad. It just means I think theyre better. And it also depends on ingredients and taste. Like I can make my Mac and cheese. And someone else can make theirs. Both can be good, but we used different ingredients(like different cheeses and maybe they added a few extras in. It doesnt mean one is always objectively better. Just that theyre different. Same with how you make food. You say everyone loves yours. But if theres a couple ingredients that I dont like, it could ruin the whole dish for me. Thats why I usually dont like to rate food. Its hard to find the right numbers. And I always think, it could be better when i eat something. Or usually, at least. It doesnt mean the dish is bad. I could love it. But I also think it could be better somehow. Even if I cant cook it. Especially if I cant. Haha. Also, its hard to rate local diners, because some are amazing, but some are shit... Chains are usually easy to rate, but it can also depend on your local chains...

Unless you're a professional chef a home made breakfast isn't going to taste better than a local diner that knows what they are doing.

No, you can't. You guys must go to crappy restaurants. There's a reason why people go out to eat, and it's not because they can't cook or don't have the time.

You can't make better food than chefs and cooks who do it (the ones who do it well) for a living.

Unless you guys are really good amateur cooks, like the ones who go on contests like Masterchef, which I'm 100% sure you guys are not.

Dude gourmet cooking is easier than it has ever been

Youre completely off base

I do agree that there are some restaurants where the chef is amazing and has been cooking since like forever. And went to probably a really good culinary school and such. And beat out hundreds of other applicants for the job. Those are usually the really nice fancy restaurants. Usually not a regular place. But those master chefs at those places are pretty good. Even better than local places, usually. But also, they are usually freakin expensive...

I go out to eat to try new things and not have to buy a ton of ingredients I won't make use of. To get out of the house. To spare doing dishes. To try new kinds of food. And some places do make much better food... Most places don't. So I don't dine out often.

I specifically don't go out for breakfast food because I do better at home for very little money. Pancakes are cheap as shit and very little effort or money and I have a waffle iron

You really just sound like a guy who'd never worked in a restaurant and has no idea how kitchens actually work. Cooking at a restaurant is all about speed and repetition. You wanna get the menu down and be able to prepare those specific dishes over and over and over again at a high rate. The head chef might be a culinary genius but a lot of dudes in kitchens starting out washing dishes and moved up by working hard. You can absolutely make a bangin homecooked meal when you domt have to worry about banging dishes out at a high rate

And actually people do absolutely go out to eat because they can't cook or don't have the time... and also maybe because they don't feel like cooking and cleaning dishes. Sure people also want to eat good food but people sure as hell aren't going to taco bell because they want better food than what they're capable of

I've eaten at a ton of great restaurants and even then a lot of the guys that work in the kitchens aren't master chefs like you seem to believe they are. They aren't designing menus. They're cooking exactly what they're told to on a regular basis

I think GhettoFlip meant to say they are other reasons people go out to eat other than just they cant cook or dont have time.

You really rated the dog food too poorly. After a couple days in the son it gets a nice crisp texture and a smokey flavor. It at least deserves a 4 or a 5.

I dont think thats true. I think certain ingredients might be harder to come by depending on where you live, but you should still be able to get it. And most people can still make a decent meal. And some people are really good, even without ever learning. But Im sure if he meant it that way. He may have become passionate and exaggerated a little...

Well nobody is talking about something like Denny's or IHOP when saying something like that. The reason why restaurants are better most of the time is because of how bad the food is for you. They're there to make money so they will put a shitload of butter and whatnot into the products to make people want to buy it. People don't go out to eat for health.

International house of booty. It's a new day yes it is.

The quality of food at good restaurants is better then what you get at home. In general. My mistake was to not put "Also restaurants have easier access to better meat and food and such." that word in the sentence. Typing on my phone, whatever.

Sure for example, I could go get fresh fish at the good fish market downtown, but I am not waking up every day at 5AM and travel 40 minutes downtown to get that product. It's what a good restaurant does every day becasue it's their job to have quality food.

And yes, unlike what people are arguing. Becoming a quality cook does take time. You can learn, but I've seen far too many people never get the hang of making good meals for years on end. It takes time to learn how to cook.

Nope. Your mistake is not knowing what the fuck you're talking about. Most local grocer's have plenty of high-quality options for food, including fresh fish they get delivered daily. Of course, I live in a coastal state so you can get good seafood pretty much anywhere.

But you're completely wrong in your assumption that restaurants have some sort of special access to food that the rest of us "common folk" don't have. Do you even do any grocery shopping?

I guess it depends on where you live. It is possible to live somewhere where the stores in town might not get fresh fish daily, but a store further away does. And it's possible that the restaurants also get fresh fish daily even if the close stores don't. I can't rule out that possibility.

But you're completely wrong in your assumption that restaurants have some sort of special access to food that the rest of us "common folk" don't have. Do you even do any grocery shopping?

He was saying that HE didnt want to have to get up and drive 40 minutes to get fresh fish daily. He obviously knows the store gets it. He said he would rather go to restaurant than to drive 40 minutes to get fresh fish. At least, thats how I read it...

If he lives somewhere that the drive is that far to get fresh meat then I highly doubt he lives closer than that to a restaurant (much less multiple ones) that gets fresh meat daily. He's shifting goal posts because he's been called out on talking out of his ass

I guess it depends on where you live. It is possible to live somewhere where the stores in town might not get fresh fish daily, but a store further away does. And it's possible that the restaurants also get fresh fish daily even if the close stores don't. I can't rule out that possibility.

It's really pretty rare for a restaurant to get fresh meat delivered DAILY. Generally, its just the really successful, highly reputable restaurants that do

The quality of food at good restaurants is better then what you get at home. In general. My mistake was to not put "Also restaurants have easier access to better meat and food and such." that word in the sentence. Typing on my phone, whatever.

Sure for example, I could go get fresh fish at the good fish market downtown, but I am not waking up every day at 5AM and travel 40 minutes downtown to get that product. It's what a good restaurant does every day becasue it's their job to have quality food.

I do think that is probably true. I don't think every restaurant gets fresh fish daily.

He's talking about specialty shops, not a typical grocery store. Specialty stores will always have higher quality than a regular grocery store.

That's how I read it, too. But he's not just saying that. He's also saying restaurants have better quality food than what you can make at home, which is flat-out wrong. You can get high-quality ingredients at your local markets, and you can learn to cook a wide variety of dishes without becoming a Michelin rated world-class chef. Of course it takes years to *master* cooking, but you don't have to be some culinary prodigy in order to make food that's as good, if not better, than what your average restaurants make.

Last time I had breakfast at cracker Barrell it was pretty good. Pancakes were nice and fluffy and I had their fried apples on top. Plus there were tons of sides and stuff like bacon, sausage, cheesy hash browns.

I haven't been to Denny's in forever, ihop wasn't really memorable except for some dudes wife came in and busted him eating out with his side chick and kids.
