I have been an unapologetic fan of fast food for forever. I used to travel a lot for work. Despite the fantasy that work travel is a non-stop vacation, it's actually a tough life to have. You still have a day of work, but you don't get to go home at the end of the day. And since you're too tired to go out and do fun stuff in whatever city you're in, you only have the energy to go back to your hotel and crash.

Hence my love at fast food. I can run through a drive-through after work on my way back to my home away from home, then crash.

I'm pretty sure you can see where this is going.

Fast food now is barely food. And it's so expensive that you might as well go to a real restaurant with table service. That's what I've been doing.

Not that going to a real restaurant is a guarantee of a great experience. Now more than ever, it's not. And here's why...

More and more I'm happier just cooking at home. Sure it's a pain in the ass, and groceries are insanely expensive, but at least it's quality I can count on.

That's about all that's left.
