I don't know about that. I could afford to go to cheap restaurants a lot
more often than I do, but I don't. I don't see much point in paying
someone more than it costs me to do a meal if I can do it as well or
better. We go out for special occasions. I avoid the really expensive
places because some of their prices are outrageously high and the food
does not justify their price. For instance, my wife and I went to a
winery restaurant about 10 years ago where they charged $14.95 for
vegetable soup. What the hell can make vegetable soup worth $14.95?
