This is true if:
1. You work for more than coolie's wages, or
2. You have passed an accounting class.

However I have chosen fine dining over drugs or hookers, since it is
relatively the cheapest of vices.

I have sometimes been disappointed by even the best restaurants. I can make
many dishes better. a
moron can buy a USDA prime ribeye and slap it on the grill. I can broil a
lobster tail. I can mix parmasian,
butter, and cream together.

I have invested some time and energy into learning to cook. It takes work
and is also more expensive to
buy the ingredients, but it is a relatively cheap endevor.

It is a great disapointment to get restaurant dishes such as "alfredo sauce"
made of flour, milk, and artificial
flavoring, or gravy made of flour, milk, and artificial flavoring.

....Steaks that are sandwich thin planks of wood. ...etc.

By the way, cooking for one is an order of magnitude worse!
