Living in NYC I used to think this way. Why would anyone want to live anywhere else, from street food in Queens, Le Bernardin, Omakase only menus ...etc.

The 3 star restaurants get old very fast. too expensive, way too long to eat. Very pretentious. As I got older I came to value home cooking many times higher than any restaurant that NYC can offer.

I highly suggest people try these places to understand what is possible with food, but don't value them any higher.

I never said that you should prefer 3 star restaurant. I was responding to the specific claim that home cooked meals are always better than eating out.
