Pretty much any meal I order out I could do a very good to great version of at home. Lately I have been avoiding restaurant french fries though, because my air fryer fries are so much better than deep fried. As far as Prime vs Choice steaks, I had some beef recently that was not USDA labeled, but they were amazing. A farmer friend slaughters, ages, and butchers his own beef for his family. We were discussing meat one night and he sent a couple of his steaks home with me. _Man_, were they incredible. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/food-you-wont-order-in-a-restaurant-because-your-version-is-better/847393)._
