Why does food bought from deli/restaurant taste better than food from home?

[JEDI]

papa john's pizza taste better than frozen pizza from supermarket.

spegetti at oliva garden taste better than at home

etc

why? psycological? you're paying more thus it must be better?

Well, it's the sauce that I like in Papa Johns.

As for spaghetti, I like home made better. 🙂

On the whole, though, I agree with you. I think it's because I see it more as a treat than as an everyday thing though. If I ate out every day, I'd get tired of it pretty fast.

Because you're incompetent in the kitchen?

Papa John's is much better. You should instead be comparing them to Dominos.

 

[ElFenix]

spaghetti at olive garden blows.

 

[spanky]

becuz it cost more... therefore if u do not believe it taste better, u will feel ripped off.

 

[DeeKnow]

because you suck at cooking?

my wife's home coooking beats almost every restaurant i know... and she does Continental, Indian, Chinese, Mexican, Thai,....

 

[homestarmy]

because you're a crappy cook? 😀

 

[vi edit]

Olive garden has good pasta? Since when?

More times than not, I can grill or cook something better than what a restaurant does. A lot of soups I can't match though. Oh and fish. I haven't mastered grilling fish very well.

 

[thirdlegstump]

[Wahsapa]

[Fritzo]

Probably because you suck at cooking 🙂

I can cook circles around most any resturant 🙂

 

[BurnItDwn]

ehhh ... papa john ... blah
I prefer frozen pizza's to them

now Lou Malnati's is a totally different story ............

I'd have to agree with most people here and say you can't cook. Most things I get at resturants I can make better at home with better ingredients and just the way I like it to taste.

 

[gururu]

well, they wouldn't be in business if it didn't taste good!

Because of our short-sighted pop culture, useless traits like a pretty face or a super model's figure are being selected for rather than useful traits like being able to cook.

Food at home = Same old crap everyday
Eating Out = Wide variety

Same with relationships, wife = boring, infidelity = delicious!
