Take "fully loaded nachos" as an example. After a few hours, the chips are really soggy and gross. And a good steak, rare to rare++ (or even medium rare) is delicious when it first hits your plate. But once it cools down, and you reheat it at home it is completely different (you end up not getting it warm enough, or it gets overcooked).

I have the same issue when using home-cooked food as leftovers for lunch the next day. Cube steaks are rarely good warmed over (they dry out), rice ends up losing its stickiness (so it is a wet mess, or dried out crumbs). About the only thing that I can use for lunch the next day is some pasta based dishes, pizza (depending -- again, deep dish goes gross after a few hours), and manwich or tacos is good the next day (gotta keep the meat separated from everything else so it is easier to warm up in the microwave).
