Dunno guys, it's so hard for me to find a place that makes food better than me for what I prefer. I cook so much at home and can make it exactly the way I want at less than half the price. This spring I bought a Blackstone Flat Top grill and use the shit out of it, it's basically like you're grilling outdoors but with cast iron.
My favorite burger that I make typically involved a topping where I combine cream cheese, crushed up crunchy bacon, chopped jalepenos, salsa verde and cheddar cheese. Heat it enough to melt it and use it as a topping on a burger along with some chipotle mayo and it's amazing. The topping also works as a dip with chips too! I used to make beer can burgers (recipe) but became lazy and realized it's a lot easier to just make a topping instead.
Smoked a rack of ribs yesterday and made about 5 lbs of homemade macaroni and cheese, I still have some leftover smoked brisket from a few weeks ago, some leftover smoked pork loin that I stuffed, some Hawaiian Chicken that I made last week (Recipe). Steak fajitas that I should probably throw away.
I go to a restaurant maybe once every two months and that's only because extended family wants to. I can't remember the last time I decided to go out to eat with the wife or family without parents/grandparents siblings etc.
Here's a couple pics of some stuff I've made recently:
Ribs (one sweet, one spicy) with smoked mac & cheese
Hickory Smoked Jalepeno Popper Stuffed Pork Loin wrapped in Bacon:
Agree can pretty much cook anything as good as a restaurant would. The one thing I do appreciate when I do go out is a good dessert, some of which I couldn't easily make as good. Restaurants are good for a wider variety or change of pace. Trade convenience for cost.
