A Chili's commercial made me think of this

First, the restaurant industry tries to convince you your own home-cooking isn't good enough. It's bland, it's boring, it's predictable. Why have the same thing night after night when you can go enjoy something fresh and exciting at their restaurant? Funny, cause at the same time their are trying to convince you not to eat at home, they're trying to market "homestyle" cuisine to you. This is an interesting social question.. "Homestlye" is obviously a marketing ploy to draw people who have a nostalgia for the food they grew up with, the question is, has the fast-paced world of today (or alternatively, laziness) caused "home-cooking" to be something only restaurants can offer? Some food for thought...
