I don't get takeout for dinner very often--and answered that way.
(Usually an assortment from a local Syrian deli.) However, I fairly frequently get takeout for lunch--especially when we're working outside on home projects over the weekend. Cindy Hamilton -- |

Thrice in last 10 years, I got talked into a Pizza Hut after a fatigue complaint, then was told my pizza is far better.
I've never had Chinese takeout, KFC or any others I can remember. Too cheap and lazy to drive there and back. |

They also have duck tails, but they call them, "Duck end." Their duck fried rice is great too. http://www.urbanspoon.com/cities/28/...nu_photos/5884 I made homemade duck wings for lunch today, and the grocery store where I went today, and cut 7 pounds of chicken wing tips off of wings so I could buy them has 20# boxes of duck wings for $29.95. What an adventure that was. The owners are super nice, and I have a feeling that I might end up working for them in some capacity someday. --B |

What are they even doing on RFC? Heh. I put once a month but it's not really that. I can go for many months and not get any at all. Then maybe 2-3 times in a month. Overall perhaps 12 times a year so I just picked that. |

What if I eat it in the restaurant? Takeout joints are not 'restaurants' in my book. It is true that some restaurants also offer takeout (for certain menu items) - but if you're gonna sit and eat your food on the premises then you might as well go to a 'real' restaurant i.e. where takeout is an optional extra, not their core business. Furthermore, takeout food is no longer 'cheap'. For example, I've paid more for a pizza from a fairly big takeout chain here than the same size/same toppings pizza at a local restaurant - and it tasted the same too. FWIW, the branch of said pizza chain we usually patronize has exactly two tables outside on the pavement - where one can sit and wait for the pizza(s) to be ready, but they're usually vacant when I walk by there. -- Cheers Chatty Cathy |

I did make some for dinner a few nights ago. I cheated. I had a bag of Barzi Red Beans & Spice. I made a pot of rice, cooked the red beans with the spice. I added diced onion, celery, bell pepper and minced garlic. Sliced andouille sausage. I baked a skillet of cornbread. Good stuff on a cold day. Jill |

Either something I picked up when I was out and about or > brought home from the club. My son and his friends were upset with a local pizza place over a delivery issue. They were at the friend's place which is in the country. The place offers free delivery "in town". The friend's house is just outside of the town limits. First everything was fine. Then there was going to be a charge. Then the decided that it was too far, so they would not deliver. Okay.. it is about six miles from the shop. There is one stop light on the way and the road for most of that distance is 80 kph (50 mph). In the adjacent city they would drive that far to get from one end of the city to the other and it would still be free. They would also have to deal with all the traffic lights. What is a 8-10 minute drive out here would be a half hour in the city. They would have been willing to pay a delivery charge but the run around the got lost the place some customers. Most of the guys who were there live in town but they were all so ticked off that none of them will go to or order from the place. |

I guess that's entirely possible - as and when you take over the running of the RFC site and compose (99.5% of) the surveys. You are welcome to do so today - I won't raise any objections. > I think we have a cultural difference on what we consider takeout vs. > fast food. Quite so. -- Cheers Chatty Cathy |

The survey mentioned fast food. Takeout. Most of us were able to figure that out. Most fast food joints have a drive-up window. Or you can park, go inside, order, get it to go. They may have limited seating, but seating has very little to do with takeout. Jill |

We'll likely never know which troll went to the site and clicked "every day". It certainly generated a silly discussion about a certified non-scientific (but fun!) survey. :-D Jill |

Popeye's! was (2014-02-12) New Survey on the RFC site: Takeoutanyone?
Drove over to get some Popeye's chicken and redbeansandrice.
Wound up getting spicy, with two mild thighs as that's the only kind they had, so I got to try both. Very good, crispy coating that wasn't too thick. I'll be back. When I opened the redbeansandrice I was initially very disappointed. It looked like plain-ish rice. Turns out the beans were on the bottom. Very tasty. I made a mess mixing them up. Biscuits were good, too. Thanks everyone who gave advice. nancy |

Almost there! She asked me to pick up a rotisserie chicken. The poor cat had not eaten the entire drive from TN to SC. And there she was stuck in the back seat in her carrier next to the wafting scent of (what turned out to be delicious!) rotisserie chicken. Poor thing! I'm sure she thought it was deliberate.

Takeout, to me is food ordered and taken out or delivered from a real restaurant/deli, not a fast food joint or pizza delivery with no indoor seating, like Pizza Hut and Domino's. Rotisserie chicken from a grocery store, is in a gray area where I wouldn't call the entire meal "takeout" unless the rest of it came fully prepared from the deli section. -- Good Food. Good Friends.

Not a fast food outlet although they do sell many already cooked ready to eat food items one can eat on premises or take out. Costco is a huge big box store that sells food, housewares, everything a Super Walmart sells but typically in larger sizes and multipacks. http://www.costco.com/ |

Oh, they're around here, but I prefer to sit and be served, rather than try to dash home and reheat food. I'm no crazy about "Chinese" food either, as it's served up in the States. |

I'm no crazy about "Chinese" food either, as it's served up in the States. We order in (delivery) - but it's mostly Thai, not Chinese. Just got back into Chinese a couple of weeks ago, but we may not continue due to certain problems my husband had as a result of eating it (like a gout attack that he shouldn't have had considering what we ordered). -- Good Food.

Most have tables, so you can eat in, and it stays remarkably hot om the way home. --B |
