re: How often did your family go "out to eat" at a restaurant when you were a kid?

I was from a family of five. Mom and dad cooked on school nights. Maybe once a month, we would eat at Cortana Mall’s Piccadilly or at Shakey’s pizza.

Once I turned 16 and worked part-time at Winn Dixie, I would grab a whopper and fries on my lunch break.

My dad loved to cook many items and Sundays were the day we had a very robust Sunday Meal like roast and potatoes.
