“At home, it’s weird for two people to eat two different things for dinner but at a restaurant, it’s weird to order the same thing”

At home, two people usually have the same entrees because it’s easier to cook two of the same thing. However, at a restaurant, two people usually order different entrees, possibly to share the two different dishes. The two diners aren’t cooking the restaurant meals, so it’s easier at the restaurant to order two different entrees.

But if you went out to a restaurant and everyone ordered the exact same thing, that’d be considered strange and even frowned upon” was posted on Reddit—Showerthoughts on November 27, 2015. “At home it’s weird for two people to eat two different things for dinner but at a restaurant it’s weird to order the same thing” was posted on Reddit—Showerthoughts on April 4, 2018.
