Worse food ever

Yes it seems that you doing the cooking is really the wise thing. Did everyone else think the food was bad? Was it expensive? I have taken home food before that was really bad but I have never eaten at a restaurant where the food was bad.

It can be awkward taking people out somewhere especially if they are from another area and are relying on your judgement of what the place is like for that reason i don't take people anywhere i haven't tried myself.I also think it can be awkward to recomend a restaraunt to others as i feel as if my taste is being judged and if they have a bad meal i feel responsible for them wasting their money this is particularly true if the restaeraunt is somewhere i really likeand have told the person how much i like it as i feel maybe wrongly that it makes me look bad.

We have been out for a couple of meals this weekend as family was visiting here as well. Each place we went left something to be desired. The thing is I was prepared to cook, but it just did not work out. Home cooked is the best cooked.

did you complain about the food? i have had food like that and actually, once we went out and my daughter had a meal she didn't like, told the waitress and got a new one (they didn't charge us for the previous meal).

Well atleast it was only family. Next time you know never to go to that place, not unless they have a serious change of cooks or recipes. Maybe next time you can cook and have a nice little visit with eating outside?

Well, perhaps that restaurant just had an off night? Naah, you're right, probably not likely. Well, like you, I would recommend cooking anyway. You save money, you can make the food exactly the way you want it to be, and, you don't have to tip the waiter which saves you 10% !

I tend to be skeptical of many people's restaurant recommendations. I usually know several good restaurants in any area where I've spent any decent bit of time. However, that said, I have been railroaded into a few bad restaurants, and I once went to a place that my boyfriend's mother absolutely loved and found that not only was it unimpressive, it was downright horrible *shudder*. Here, however, I know the good places, and there's no chance of my boyfriend's mother railroading us into a bad restaurant now. Instead, once she's doing better, we will be taking her out to some of the nice (but reasonably priced) places around here. I have at least one place here that I would definitely take people to if I wanted to splurge. I also have a few places that are great for lunch. Even though we don't dine out very often, I do know the good restaurants around here. So, I think I'm all set if I want to take people out for a meal. However, I am a good cook, so there's a good chance that I would simply cook a beautiful and healthy meal for them using local ingredients.
