Nah, unless it's the same place every time and it's so frequent that it's becoming way to expensive. I loved getting together with friends and periodically going out for food and drinks, whether that be the reason for getting together, or we're doing something else and wanted to get food and drinks afterwards. It makes sense in your situation since you're limited by your options and how your body handles it. I've only gotten take-out a few times since the pandemic started, but am too uncomfortable with actually eating at a restaurant.

I enjoy eating out, but I hate sitting around once everyone has finished eating. Like, yes lets chat but lets do it in a pub or something.
Maybe it's just me.

Can we get a poll?
I like eating out. I moved to my downtown district for that reason two years ago. It's kind of sad how dead the social environment has been and how many of my favorite mom and pop places are out of business.

This, when I travel for work more than a couple days I just want to get home and eat my regular home made food...
Not missing business travel during rona.
I miss eating out terribly. Me and my wife usually eat out at least twice a week, at a large variety of different restaurants. We're ordering in just as often if not a bit moreso, but it isn't the same. You're still sitting in the same place you spend all the rest of your time, most of the food isn't nearly as good (there are exceptions), far too often the order is wrong and there's no easy way to correct it, I don't much care for the delivery/takeout thing. Its better than nothing, but I can't wait to get back to restaurants when its safe.
Do you cook a lot at home? Or do you go out to eat / order takeout for most meals?
You can never cook too much at home IMO. It's such a gratifying thing to do, and as you get better at cooking, your home cooked food will be better than virtually any restaurant anyway.
I recently moved to a part of town that is loaded with chain restaurants. I normally like dining inside of a restaurant once or twice a week, but ever since the pandemic hit, we've been getting take out almost every other day. I've definitely been feeling the fatigue a bit.
God no. I'd eat out every single meal if it wouldn't leave me completely broke. LA has enough amazing places that I don't need to eat at the same restaurant in the same week.
I spent well over a grand, close to two on eating out since the pandemic so answer is no. I can cook but I get sick of my own food literally.
If I do it more than once a week, I get sick. I just found that out over Labor Day weekend the hard way. Felt much better once I had a decent meal with meat and a salad.
sounds like you just eat at bad places. my family used to love to eat out, but it was more of a "we're already out doing errands and we're hungry, lets go eat" type of thing. ive been working on my cooking skills (ie googling recipes and following instructions) over the years and am able to feed my family some pretty good stuff. we'll continue to eat out once we feel its safer, but home cooking is where its at.
nah, I Love eating at restaurants, bars or pubs and do it several times a week.
Guess I am just that lazy.

I live in New York. Absolutely not. I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty strongly in favor of NY reinstating indoor dining in phases. If things don't spike, I'll be tempted when it starts getting cold out.
It was like a weekly Fri/Sat thing to meet friends at a restaurant and then usually watch a movie right after (if anything good was on) and I miss both soooo much! Takeaway is fine, but some food, even when fresh, gets too much condensation in the container and gets soggy by the time you bring it home, which sucks. I miss the atmosphere/ambiance of sitting in a place (and of course, the theater afterwards >_>)
I'll echo where it sounds like it's a poor selection of food nearby. I used to live in a small town where that was similar, and choices where pretty same-sy and limited. There's so many really good options where I am now though, and a lot of dishes that just aren't as easy to make at home.
