How do you people allow yourself to eat that slop?
People sometimes overestimate how special restaurant food is. A lot of the flavor comes from combinations of salt, fat, MSG, spices, sauces, and other concentrated ingredients that are readily available to consumers. I like to use things like Frank's RedHot dry seasoning, Buffalo Wild Wings spicy garlic sauce, and I'll even add MSG sometimes. You can also make a burger a certain size and only press it once to get a certain flavor and texture out of it.
Honestly, I don't really like patronizing restaurants or even fast-food places. Going out to eat can feel pretty bougie and conservative to me, and even the atmosphere in some fast-food places can feel pretty conservative at times. Maybe a decade or two ago, fast food felt a bit less cringe atmosphere-wise. Now it can feel like you're participating in a whole cultural ritual around eating out that I don't really care for.
