This is a great thread! I put myself back on Weight Watchers less than a week ago, have not eaten out, and I am already feeling so much better. Onward and downward. It's too expensive in money, calories, and ingredients in my food that I don't know what they are.

Home-cooked meals in the hands of a competent cook beat out restaurants any day of the week.
We have lots of tasty restaurants that do not do that. There are absolutely restaurant meals I cannot recreate! Homemade corn tortillas? Nope. Homemade pasta - too much work. Poke bowls? Too many ingeedients (I have made tasty poke though). Sushi - nah. There are lots of restaurant meals that do not make sense to make at home.
I'd rather cook at home and know the quality of ingredients, salt content, etc. in the
food I eat. Also, knowing that someone hasn't dropped it on the floor or forgot to wash
their hands when they were preparing our food is important to us!

Big major plusses! One time my mother went to a Sizzler and saw a little boy sneezing and coughing on a toy and then running his toy over the food at the salad bar. His parents were there and didn't stop him from doing that. She never went back.

Salad bars and buffets in general gross me out. I really do not want to eat food that other people are helping themselves to. Also, buffets are a great way to over eat.
I can't believe Sizzlers are still around. Nasty.

Exactly.
That is fast food and chain crap. There are a lot of 'real' restaurants that do not do that.
