It's funny that they say productivity is up when all of my local restaurants seem to be slower than ever ... but I digress.
> Especially if you're anything above a 7/10 home cook
I'd move your assessment down to a 5/10 home cook.
Most restaurants are using ingredients of sufficiently low quality that it is now pathetically easy to beat them on that axis. Using even slightly better ingredients than average puts you ahead of 90% of restaurants, nowadays--even for something as stupidly easy as a salad.
I'm super lazy, but local restaurants have gotten both so expensive and so slow that I'm always weighing whether to hit the local grocery store, grab some ingredients and throw something together at home.
After spending all day 'building' intangible things in a virtual world I really love actually making something real with my hands and then eating it with my wife
