My mother wanted to take me to a michelin star restaurant for my birthday and said it would be the best meal I ever had. I told her I would prefer to go to Texas Roadhouse, have EVERYONE'S meals total less than that 1 star restaurant charges for one, and it would still be the best meal I ever had, I would enjoy it more, plus as an added benefit, I would have enough to enjoy it a second time as leftovers instead of leaving hungry.
