This is actually ok. Back in the 50’s, going out to eat was a rare treat. We are going back to American values of families eating at home. This could be good.
We were laughing at old menu prices not too long ago that were posted on the wall of a very old local restaurant. I asked my elderly relative if she remembered those types of prices.
She told me eating out was not even thought of when she was growing up, that was for “rich” people and her father didn’t have that kind of money.
Yes, my parents rarely EVER ate out growing up. My mother's mom would take her to Horn and Hardart Automat once a year on her birthday.
