Cuisine of the month:
Pre-pandemic my wife and I were gourmands. we would have fun looking at different restaurant's websites during the week and try a new one out every couple weekends. We had favorites, we were the couple our friends would ask about where to go in town. We were kinda proud of it.
we both (without ever really discussing it) just stopped. something since that time is just... gone. Is it the exorbitant cost? the tired and careless waiters? The reduction in food quality? The tired and hungry people around us?
We've both spent at least spent a decade apiece in service. Maybe we were paying for a dream. Maybe our treat was not dinner, but 1hr 30 minutes pretending we were other than we were, paying to pretend we had the money to waste. For the illusion of a good life.
Anyway its gone. I can't even place my finger directly on what it is that is.
We've gotten baller making food from scratch. in the years since (it wasn't great at first haha) we learned to make things at home that are better tasting and cheaper than what i can get from the finest place I've ever been.
and you cant beat the company.
anyway i have no point i guess. fuck all restaurants? yeah. Fuck em, they are not worth it. and this is coming from me! I'm the guy who loved them! That was my fucking bag!
