Hello Steemians! Have a great afternoon ahead.
I like the adventure of finding some new place to eat. So I'm constantly trying new foods and different ambiance. Whenever I find one I really like, I'll go back again, of course, and keep rotating among my favorite ones. But, at the same time, I continue to ferret out new experiences too. After all, variety is the spice of life.
Unfortunately, expense does matter. I like to eat out, but I can't afford to go to the best eateries every day. So I go to inexpensive restaurants with good food very often, rather than going infrequently to the so called top restaurants. Usually, the food and atmosphere are not significantly better, anyway.
Good things are never cheap, we want to live life to the fullest. But at the same time, it's silly to spend lots of money on these things all the time. So, I would say that we never consciously worry about how much we're spending on food and drinks, but we don't get the most expensive items on the menu, either.
When times are good, people drink to celebrate, and when times are bad, they drink to forget. But they go to restaurants because it's a pleasant experience. Eating in company with other people is always an enjoyable experience, especially if you know you don't have to wash the dishes afterwards. Lol.
