You guys that live in bigger cities think this is a joke but seriously, in my 60k population small city, there are like 6 good restaurants, I will only eat at about 4 of them. The other 100 are shitty bar food, frozen sam's club hamberders cooked within an inch of their life. One place I went to actually took a frozen Sam's club Patty and put it in a convection oven of all things.
Even the ethnic restaurants, who I'm sure have Great Cooks working in the back, cook shitty water down flavorless food for the bland taste buds of people that live here. If you can take a bunch of nasty kempcump ass enchilada sauce out of a can and slap it on some bag tortillas with wet chicken inside, and people will pay $15 a plate for it, why bother actually making good food?
It's a pretty sad situation, if I want to take a break and actually dineout, I'm eating overpriced mediocre food. The best food we eat on a regular basis comes out of my kitchen but it's a lot of work when sometimes you just want to chill on a Saturday night.
