i go to visit my friend who lives an hour away about once a week, and we usually go out to a restaurant together every time. i have a lot of dietary restrictions but he lives in a more progressive area than i do so there are quite a few awesome dining options i can choose from there. i'm actually planning on moving there and once i do i'm sure i'll be spending all of my money at those places, lol.
other than that, though, i don't go out to eat often at all. it does get kinda pricey and i do have the aforementioned dietary restrictions, so i only tend to go out on special occasions or with my mom every once in awhile to spend time together. i prefer to cook at home anyway, trying new recipes is so much fun. c:
