I call it "efficiency," not "laziness." ;)

I start to walk across the hotel to the lobby--I'm on the far side--to talk to the concierge, and realize I'll just have to come back for the car anyway, so I head out to the car and drive up to the lobby. The concierge mentions that I can order from Bennigan's, $3 delivery fee, billed to the room, and hands me a menu. I ponder this, take the menu, make my selections, and call to order. I then walk outside and drive back to my end of the building. :D

(Riley's Ribeye, mashed 'taters, cinnamon applies, IBC, and White Chocolate Chillout for dessert. Mmm!)

Besides, who wants to eat alone at a sit-down restaurant?

No, I do it also. I like people-watching. :-)

I don't find sit-down restaurants to be the best place for that, and even if it is, I'd rather have a friend or family member to share it with..

Sometimes I don't have a choice...and while it may not be the best place, I have certainly had a handful of amusing observances and enjoyed myself.

Heh.. I don't even eat out once a week.


If I'm eating in a restaurant alone I just feel out of place and bored, mostly. I like eating out with people, much like I like going out and doing stuff with people rather than alone. (As for reading, I'd rather do that in places less hectic than restaurants.)

i'll eat lunch out alone, no problem.. but dinner? not so much.

Sounds about right.. and frequently lunch is more café-ish anyway, and business culture has spawned a lot of solo lunches.
