Eating Out

You'll agree with me that sometimes one gets tired of home meals and wants to have a different taste of a particular meal outside. The truth is that no matter how a food tastes in unison, there's always a little difference, either in addition or subtraction, when different people cook it.
Apart from being out, I mean being away from home, it's this taste difference that takes me to an eatery to eat.
On a very honest level, you won't find me eating out on a regular basis because I'm always within my home and I'm a big fan of the kitchen.

Whenever I'm eating out, I'm very selective about the place; I don't just enter because people are entering or because the place is the talk of town. No! I consider a lot of things and some of them are as follows:

• The population that visits the place

I love to enjoy my meal in a quiet environment. Of course, this is personal feeding, and I shouldn't be watched like I'm eating in a feeding competition.

In my city of residence, we have a countless number of eateries because the city is well populated with students. All the booming eateries are always so crowded that one would find it difficult to secure a spot on weekends. You'll never find me in such a place; I would prefer to be a lone figure in the midst of empty 4, 5, and 6 tables.😎

I once worked in an eatery like that, and people love to come around because it's not always crowded. The reason it's not always crowded is because it looks expensive, and the food there is costly too, so it's basically meant for rich people. Lol😄

• Taste of the food

Like I stated earlier, the taste difference (good taste) is one of the things that makes me eat out. At least the food should be tastier than the one I have at home. If I find the taste below, I won't visit there again.
I remember one particular night that I came back from work so tired that there was no food at home, so I headed out to a nearby eatery to get a takeout. I bought the food, and the taste was so disappointing. I had to throw it away after extracting the meat, though. I couldn't let my money go to waste completely.

These foods were from where I worked, and I bet you, the chefs are good. Their food will enchant you enough to keep coming.

• Price of food

No doubt, I like it when the price of food is moderate and not high. At least my pocket shouldn't be crying when eating out. But unfortunately, it's very rare to get a good food spot that's on a standard level and whose price is low; it's almost impossible.

The ones with low prices usually have one or two Substances missing; either the food is not tasty or the environment is not clean, and the ones on a standard level always have their prices touching the sky.
I sacrifice it most times though, I prefer the quality to the low standards.
