It’s just stupid money. In most foreign countries you can eat much better for a fraction of the cost. Here even fast food is pushing $15/meal.

Eating out is too much of a hassle. My four kids make it a challenge so I just don’t do it.

One of the most tedious things about work actually is the expectation of eating all the time, too. Like they’ll have a breakfast (I don’t eat breakfast), and then they’ll have a lunch (and I usually don’t eat at that time either), and then they’ll have a dinner that goes to 1030 or 1100 and the expectation will be that you drink booze (and I don’t drink).

But restaurants themselves are all flame. I don’t know the last time I had a good meal anywhere or actually enjoyed myself at a restaurant.

You’re retarded. I’ve been to Italy, Greece, and France in the past year which were all historically cheaper than the US (esp. NYC) for food if you compare similar experiences. The food in Greece has become way more expensive with a weakening dollar and the Ukraine war waging on. Italy and France remain very expensive unless you are eating takeaway food.

I’m sure food is still cheap in shit-hole-istan, but I’m a white American and would not want to ever visit there.

Where are you eating in Italy that is very expensive? You can get an aperol spritz for 4 euros (or 3) and it comes with half a sandwich.

He is actually correct. Those aperol+snack in milan are during set times i.e. 12-4 when people are looking to eat something else.. actul dinner isn't that much cheaper. More notably Spain and Italy are actually cheaper for restaurants than east Europe now..

Are you joking, this is the dumbest post ITT. Europe is laughably cheap and higher quality.

That's why people go to allinclusives in turkey, dubai, etc you could literally eat $200/person equivalent(if you ate at restaurnts). Then take free sun umbrellas and unlimited booze..

you have to go out in an exurb or rural area

Go out in downtown Minneapolis and you're paying obscene prices plus "health and wellness charges" so the gay servers can fuck each other in the ass more.
