How can <random restaurant> stay in business??? Everything from their <menu item> to their <menu item> is plain awful! It's like they get the ingredients for their <menu item> out of a dumpster! Doesn't everyone just HATE this place?!



ATOT loves to hate everything, so please use this template in the future when trashing any food establishment to save time.

You know there must be a reason that <random restaurant> is still in business. Maybe <coherent argument> and <living being> likes their <product.>

Fritzo please make a weak rant template regarding <select gender>'s bathroom etiquette. We'll need <random improper sound> and <distance from urinal> fields as well as <classic small dick insult>. Thanks!

But really... isn't food prepared at home simply the best stuff? I am proud to say I don't eat out at all through the year unless it's a wedding or similar highly formal event which is not up to me.

we need a template for large Corporations - you know how they screw the little guy, create products that no one wants, has incompetent management and only survive because of uninformed dolts.

No, I think most people vastly overestimate their cooking ability and convince themselves their food is better because they made it. Someone who does something full-time can usually do it better than I can. That is, if you compare equivalent foods. If you're comparing something you saw on the Food Network to something you got at McDonald's, that's not really fair.

If you can follow the steps in a Lego set, you can cook. The full time chefs you may be referring to are on the cutting edge trying to develop new flavors and dishes to attract customers. At home, I am not trying to do that, nor am I trying to present my dinners in aesthetically pleasing manners, nor am I trying to deluge my taste buds with a flood of flavors. I am simply preparing tried-and-true meals which are surprisingly easy to make using very basic ingredients and they come out tasting fantastic unless I don't follow the recipe. I have the comfort of knowing exactly what's in the food I eat, exactly how it's prepared, and knowing it would have cost me a hell of alot more time and money to get something like this at the local restaurant.
