It took me a long time to finally get into cooking but now I’m realizing just by cooking the most basic of recipes I’m already making meals 100% better. It’s a curse really because now going out to eat is disappointing.
Depends what you mean by going out to eat. In Europe: these days we mostly cook, we only eat out if we’re going to a proper restaurant, in which case the food is made by a proper chef and is usually delicious. We very rarely order in because instead we have a subscription where we get two dinners a week delivered in reheatable format, the food is designed by dieticians so it’s not always super tasty but it’s healthy, especially compared to what we have available for delivery and it does the job of not having to cook that night. I’ve cut off fast food entirely except maybe a nice kebab here and there (very rarely). It all started when I went on a forever diet and counting my calories/macros, my partner, being amazing, helped me out with the healthy cooking and grocery choices.

Don’t go out to eat at chains. There are some truly great restaurants, at least in my area, that are family run.
