I'm telling you the food my wife and I cook is better (and healthier) than most restaurant food. Are you saying the food you cook is not as good as restaurant food?
I will also tell you that Sweetcell homebrews a better IPA than at least 95% of all commercially brewed IPA's.

you've sat at one or two bars in your life time, isn't this the same case with bars/bartenders?
personally, i enjoy just sitting my ass down, getting tons of delicious food and drinks put right in front of me, having a feast, and having to do little/no work.
pffft..don't even take James FOrd seriously.. he is C H E A P and just keeps coming up with ways to rationalize it..
yeah but I don't pretend it tastes better dude! :)
The way I look at it I can only afford to by the nicer beer once in a while…but I don't sit around saying I'm drinking cheap beer because its as good which is what you're doing with restaurants…
if you had left it at that it would have been fine..but you had to tell us the food you eat at home is as good as the food at the restaurant…
and face it dude, part of the reason you "enjoy" eating at home is because you sit around thinking how much money you saved and how much smarter you are than everyone else…

Chicken On The Run in Bethesda for charcoal rotisserie latin
wow…what a secret
well it was I guess
I work 1 block from here so I had to try…and it was really good!
I agree this is much better than Don Pollo (they just have a better location)
Also getting lunch for less that $8 in Bethesda with 2 sides is next to impossible…so added bonus

It's not Peruvian, but I'm a sucker for Nando's Chicken.

I recently made pizza using dough and sauce from Vace. Holy crap. I have always bought their pizza but making it with their ingredients is more fun and half the price (cost less than five bucks). Threw it on a pizza stone and let it cook in the oven for awhile. Outstanding.
In short, I'm never buying Trader Joe's dough again.

I used to do that all the time when I lived in DC, amazing doing it that way. I actually love their Italian Cold cut subs too, maybe the best in the city.
I'm a big fan of Marchone's Deli now in Wheaton. That's where I get my dough when we make homemade pies.

Really good Italian store in Cleveland Park and Bethesda. They make some killer (and inexpensive) pizzas and subs, plus they sell fresh dough, cheese, meats etc, although the best Italian sub I've had is definitely at A Litteri. That place is a DC institution.

Maybe you guys should open up a restaurant. There are restaurants I think I can do better than and there are restaurants that do better than me. I try to eat stuff that isn't readily available in the local grocery stores when I go out. Like some weird european fish or something that takes for ever to make like Coq au vin.
Plus ladies like to be taken to fancy restuarants from time to time. It is more than just the food.

We've discussed that possibility, but I'm lazy and office jobs are easier. Also, we're both financially conservative and our office jobs are much less of a financial risk than any kind of restaurant endeavor. Plus, we actually like our jobs we have now.
So we'll just stick to cooking for ourselves and friends. :)

tread with caution there… I had a pretty crazy addiction to that place for close to a year which then transformed into be having a collection of all of their hot sauces and basically eating it on everything in sight.

what . . . were you in prison at one time? do you play spades too? i was in prison once, for a day, and it was interesting. and rehabs and looney bins. people who are locked up, do two things. they eat everything with hotsauce, and play spades.
