Restaurant or Fast Food cravings?

I'm fighting the urge to hit the McDonald's for my usual Big Mac meal. But my windows don't always work so I'd have to go in.

Best to go in anyway with a window that doesn't always work. Timing is very important, remember Micky D's slogan is why.

Good Food Takes Time
Your Food Will Be Ready In Seconds
 

I went to the mall today for veggie sushi and tempura in veg and chicken. It was good. We have ordered pizza delivery from Little Caesars and I pick up chicken nuggets from McD for son. There is a Country Store I miss visiting for their homemade veggie sandwich but we can't sit in a restaurant yet.
 
I've got spaghetti-o's in the cabinet. LOL!

I meant like an actual spaghetti dinner from scratch. A lot of places put too much pepper in their sauces and it burns my mouth.
 
Since our incarceration we have ordered take out/home delivery from the likes of Texas Roadhouse, BJ's, Sharies, our favorite Ti place, Yumm Bowl (PacNW only), just to name a few. All the food was prepared by others and delivered by masked people. Do they let you prepare your own meals at normal restaurants? I wasn't aware of that.

We've also found that the servings are larger than when served normally. Our grandson works at Texas Roadhouse and said there is so much stock in the freezer they are making the servings bigger and we can make almost 2 meals. Also I can leave a 10-15% tip rather than trying to impress our server with 20% or more. All in all I like the process.
 
It cost me $30 for a small salad that was so not worth the effort and chicken alfredo with no veggies, no bread, no nothing. I had a soda pop and she gave me a free sample of Cupcake wine. I'd have been better off going in and drinking the wine and going to McDonald's.

If I'm gonna pay $30 for a meal, I'll see how many pizzas I can get from Pizza Hut!!
 
The only restaurant food I've been craving but haven't had since the social distancing is Ethiopian food. For the first couple of months our favorite Ethiopian restaurant was completely closed, but they opened for take out three weeks ago. My wife hasn't felt like having Ethiopian lately but when she does we will. They're only open Friday through Sunday for take out. We usually got their food to go anyway, so this is the way we usually have it anyway.

We're already getting Sushi every other week and food from a restaurant that makes my wife's favorite drink (which they also sell to go) so we're pretty fine on food we like to have from restaurants.

More than any specific food I miss going to a brew pub and getting a sampler to try a bunch of different beers. Some of the brew pubs are selling growlers of beer but there isn't any specific brew pub beer I'd want to have without tasting it first.
 
yeah we had a chinese place here that had just moved to a new building right before covid struck. he had to close almost immediately cuz nobody would come eat. i like the food there. you get your money's worth.
