Lol. We rarely eat out, cook from scratch most every day. If we do eat out, it’s infrequently from a chain of any type. Usually small mom n pop type places. The last time we ate fast food, it was probably a Chik-Fil-A a few years ago when we were on a road trip to the Florida panhandle.
I have no idea the last time I had a burger from McD’s or a taco from Taco Bell. I would guess roughly 10 years ago when we were in the middle of a move, and didn’t want to cook after working to unpack boxes all day long. It’s been a while. Both TB and McD’s are in the same shopping center as our grocery store (Kroger) and McDonald’s has a line every time I’m there. Taco Bell not so much but sometimes. Especially later in the evening.
My husband makes damn good burgers on the smoker, thick and juicy, not thin and overcooked. It’s one of my favorite things he makes, and I request it probably every 3-4 weeks. I do think I should try to see if I can make some “special sauce” sometime. Might be interesting to try, or do they market that yet? I’ll have to check in to a knock off recipe if I can. Every now and again I think about fast food, but it’s not often. I guess we just like what we make most of the time, and it’s usually cheaper (and fresher) than what we could get eating out. Seafood on the panhandle excepted.
