Know why I don't eat at chain restaurants?

Because my husband and I can't afford them. On average, they're more expensive than comparable mom&pop restaurants where I am. They're certainly more expensive than food trucks.

Not that we eat out all that often. Because we can't afford to do it very often.

My husband and I must be the poorest snobs in the world!
