Why does food just...

The Toyota dealership I bought my car from gives you a meal whenever you've got an appointment. And it's not bad either.

I'm with Freddie on breakfast. Even when I make myself a nice omelet or breakfast sandwich, it's always better when I eat out at a restaurant or diner.
 
Salads!! I can never get a salad to look or taste like one I have out somewhere. So disappointing.

Mainly because I can't cook.
 
Most of the stuff I get eating out tastes better than what we make at home. Except for anything off the bbq or out of the smoker. About the only styles of cooking I'm good at.
 
I'm with you Freddie. And it's almost expected when I eat out, that the food will taste better than what I/we make at home, but what drives me nuts is when I can't replicate my mother's cooking. It's got to be mental (or subconscious).

I truly believe it all comes down to salt. Chefs cook with so much more salt than home cooks do. No matter how much salt we think we use, chefs always use more.

I totally agree on salads too, and I think a big part of that is because it's too expensive to make those beautiful salads at home because you would need so many ingredients, and if they are using homemade dressing, that is going to taste way better than the store bought stuff most people use.

You nailed it here. I always figured I couldn't replicate my mom's cooking because she uses an entire stick of butter to cook anything, but maybe it's salt as well?

I bought my car from Northway Toyota in Latham, the one that is currently being remodeled, and operating out of the old Friendly's building. I was offered nothing (which stunk because I really wanted a Jim Dandy).

But did you ask them for one? :D

I know that area well. It's between Bellini's Counter and BurgerFi.
 
I don't think it's because of the homemade taste, but I don't really enjoy cooking much anymore so that doesn't help the taste. I agree with others that healthy eating can be done well, but it's still not the same as using a lot of delicious butter.

so true, but also when the salt is used. it’s used throughout and along the way to build flavor.

My wife is the world's best cook. Everything she makes tastes better than what I order out
 
Breakfast always seems to taste better out for me. It's the one meal I feel that way about consistently. Don't know what it is.

It is seasoning thing. Over salted food seems to be every chefs M.O. I try use different seasonings when cooking to impart good flavor.
