Lol okay. I remember when the show came out about what Michelin reviewers do and people were like "oh let's do those things too, they'll treat us right." Settle down, Kathy, Michelin isn't in Des Moines to review the Cracker Barrel.

Impressed? How so?

The flexibility required.

I find this fascinating because I am extremely self conscious but I enjoy eating out alone and I have since as long as I've made my own money. Not that it should matter but I don't think I'm hideous or extremely overweight or anything. What do people think when they see me eating alone by myself at a table for one? With a lil tea pot for one and... cheque please napkin dab 😂

This is very true. I typically eat alone in my car in the parking lot just because I find that to be more comfortable, but when i've eaten in the restaurant, nothing beats it.

Nice to see my people here. As long as you don't park next to me.

This! I parked in the very back by no one to eat in peace. Find a different parking lot bud.

Love eating out alone. Not unpopular.

Very unpopular to say that it's superior. Claiming to avoid awkward small talk and other social cues is also unpopular as it shows social awkwardness tendencies over anything else.

You must be very flexible.

This joke isn't as funny as you think it is.

Jedi Level achieved if you can stay off your phone or other device or without a book or magazine. Not saying you have to engage in conversation with anybody or everybody or even the staff or bartender. But kudos to anyone who can just "be"

I watch an episode of last week tonight/daily show whenever I eat out alone. Guess I'm a failure…

Not judging, everyone has their idiosyncrasies and things that bring them comfort. But I try to leave my phone in my pocket or lap, sometimes just to eat without stress or distraction. It's not about being a success or a failure, it's about seeing what you can do the next time.

I've just discovered this over the past few weeks as I've been working on my dissertation. I didn't realize how much I enjoy reading books by myself with good food and a nice coffee, tea or gin and tonic at cafes and restaurants. It's so peaceful

And you can sit and people-watch with impunity under the guise of properly chewing your food 😁

"Group" meals are wack. Eating with one other person is the best way to go

Eating out alone is better than with poor company. Eating out with great company leaves it for dead though.

I agree but I extend this to many things

I like to cook, so if I want to eat alone, I do it at home. Enjoying a meal and conversation with friends can be a great time, so I don't agree that dining out alone is superior, but there's nothing at all wrong with it. Could be any number of good reasons to eat out alone.

Why not just eat at home where you know what is in the food and can make it healthy, tasty, and cheaper?

by Otherwise_Comment_66 6 days ago

You can literally enjoy what you want to eat, eat at your own pace and taste your food while having great conversation with someone you care about. Sounds like you're either lonely and trying to find the bright side or need to meet better dining companions. Humans have been eating together since the existence of man. This is definitely a sad and unpopular opinion.

I love eating alone

I hate eating out alone. I'd rather get room service / take out if I'm traveling. I feel self conscious. Not such an issue at a cafe type daytime place but an evening meal? I really don't want to do it. I guess, for me, it's less about the food and more about the shared experience. Kudos to you if you enjoy and are comfortable with it.

Ok, so my mind is for the streets. Cause it was in the gutter when I read that first sentence. But I don't even feel like this is unpopular? I'm not even introverted.. I'm an extrovert who is also occasionally introverted. And one of my faaaavvvourite things, is to eat out alone. Read, write, scroll. Sit and think. It's the best.
