Yea, those joints were few and far between back then. Everybody cooked at home every day and night.
Meals were all to home. And my mom and dad could both cook, so they taught us three kids. At age 70, I still make my mom's killer tacos.
Going out to eat was not even an option. We never even considered it because it was so expensive compared to grilling some burgers on the backyard grill.
