Speaker A. Eating out is fun! Who can argue with that? I love going to restaurants too. But it is also so expensive! If you go as a family and order deserts as well, it can easily come up to the sum of money that you normally spend on food in a week. So, every time I think how much we could save if we stayed home and ate what we cooked ourselves, even if it is something expensive, like seafood, I cannot make myself go to a restaurant. This is why we very rarely eat out.

Speaker B. People cook home-⁠made food less and less these days. In the past, it was fun going to a restaurant from time to time, but when at home, people enjoyed eating the food that they made themselves. Nowadays, it is so easy to order food from a restaurant and have it delivered. It became even more popular during Covid, and once you start, it's hard to go back to the good old days. It's just too easy - picking up the phone or even just using an app!

Speaker C. Food delivery is great. I think, it's a win-⁠win situation for everyone: big and little restaurant businesses, IT people who make delivery apps, people who order food and don't have to spend time cooking, delivery people who can make some money on the side as a part-⁠time job. So, businesses develop, jobs are created, people eat healthier food than fast food. Here in America, we have a saying: Winner, winner chicken dinner! And that pretty much sums it all up!

Speaker D. I don't really like restaurant food. I mean it's fun and everything, but even apart from the expense, restaurant food is full of fats, very unhealthy fats that ruin your health. It's often fried. And I'm not speaking just of fast-⁠food, all restaurant food is like that. And to be honest, nobody really knows how fresh this food is and how sanitary the conditions in the kitchen are. So, I don't really feel comfortable going to restaurants because of that and prefer eating home-⁠made food.

Speaker E. When I go to a restaurant, I find everything very important - the atmosphere, the music played, the service, the cuisine and, of course, the quality of the food and cooking. Going out should always be an experience. I sometimes wonder what kind of restaurant I would be happy to open if I had enough money and enthusiasm to do it. I would probably try to make it unique in all respects and hire the best chefs. But I know I'm not hard-⁠working enough to do something like that.

Speaker F. Going to restaurants or ordering food home is a whim many spoiled people are addicted to. People are lazy! People like to eat and drink too much! But they don't want to make a special effort and cook at home. I think this laziness leads to the loss of the main reason to eat out: to make it a special occasion with friends or family, make it an experience to remember. When it's an everyday thing, you get used to it and it stops being fun.
