Why do you eat at full-service restaurants?

I eat at restaurants to experience different cuisines and types of food I can’t cook for myself at home. Sadly, that’s just about everything these days since I’m cooking little at home.

I also like to eat at restaurants for the service. I enjoy having someone else bring me the food, and then I particularly enjoy having someone else clean up after me. I happen to be a generous tipper because of this delight.

I enjoy getting together with friends at restaurants. It means we can all concentrate on one another. When we meet at one person’s home, the host/ess has to think about so many details and can’t fully relax.
