I hate going out to eat. It is NEVER as good as what my wife serves up on just any old regular day... never mind what I get on special events.
I still take my wife out about once a week, because she enjoys a change of pace. I generally order a hamburger steak, because it's pretty hard for anyone to screw that up. My wife can cook a New York strip that is far better than what a restaurant could ever serve up, unless it's some place like Ruth's Chris... but that is a once a year trip on our anniversary. And we buy the discounted gift certificates at Costco before going. LOL
