but that's what restaurants are for

Restaurants and friends who are food-artists, and love doing it.

I read (listened to) Corrections, by Jonathan Franzen, and in it there's a character who is a professional, gourmet chef. In passing, the comment is made by someone that they had forgotten (or maybe it was just that people didn't realize) "how much restaurant there is in restaurant meals, and how much homecooking there is in homecooked meals." True.

We used to have an Indian restaurant near us that served a lunch buffet for $5.50., very good food, all you wanted, freshly prepared. It went out of business about a year ago. For some reason, nobody went there. A loss. One of those mysteries.
