Staying home and eating in. I don't have to get all dressy, drive down there, wait for my food, eat all politely in front of the public and drive home. It's just much more convenient to eat at home.

That is my dream actually. I prefer eating out or having a professional cook my food.

I love homemade food and after having gone to Greece, it only reinforced that. however, nowadays, I'm too bored to cook for myself. I don't see why it's worth doing all that work just for myself =P

I don't mind the occasional eat-out. I kind of like the patience of cooking. My grandfather cooks all the time and get vegetables form the garden. he hangs and dries Italian sausages out in his doorway and then makes stuffed peppers with them. You wait either when your cooking or when you have someone else do it for you but eating in is cheaper, and it doesn't take that much longer for time.

I have a better idea. Will you be my personal chef?

I like going out every once in a while, but I definitely prefer eating in. Vilky said it perfectly. It's just easier staying home. Restaurants are usually crowded.

Sure, We are having PB&J tonight, Ramen Noodles tomorrow, and Mac and cheese on Wed. This menu will simply repeat for every night.

Edit: My services are $400 per meal.

It depends because in home dining can be amazing, but i prefer dining out because I get to have something that I otherwise wouldn't normally have at home.

Vote: Dining Out

"Ohh! OOOhhh!!!-Oh and again! I made it. I know it. I can't see it but I know I made it. Oh my God I made it. Alright, don't give up. This is for everything. This is when I don't have to do it. This one right here is when I don't have to do it, which leaves nothing else but the one. No I don't think so. Not there. God I wish I could turn the volume-OH **** Aahhh son of a **** I talk too much. ****." - 00vega -

My feelings exactly. I'll take my wife out to eat 2 or 3 times a week because she likes it but I enjoy my own cooking. For me, eating out is too much of a hassle.

Those who say it's a hastle to dining out, then all you need to do is order in and you gain from both worlds.
That'd be my vote.

Bored out of my mind.

I don't see the point of ordering out when I have a fridge full of perfectly good food that'll just go to waste if I don't cook it. But it's just me and my wife so cooking isn't as much of a chore for us as it would be for someone with not only a husband or wife but several kids to cook for as well. So I can easily understand why eating out is better for them.
