Food QOTD #81: Where do you eat?

My preference is to eat at the table. Occasionally if I am busy, though, I end up eating at my desk, or in my car on the way to work. Nonetheless, I do manage to mostly eat at the table.

We don't eat out very much, but we do occasionally. Mostly at home, at the table. Not always as a classic family dinner-- often the kids eat, then Mrs. Levite eats while I am putting the kids to bed, and then I eat after everyone else has gone to bed. But we try to do the classic family dinner at least once or twice a week.

 

When at home, we all eat at the kitchen table for all meals. We don't eat out very often anymore. If the weather is nice, we'll eat out on the patio at that table and chairs. Totally different than when I was growing up. We all ate in separate rooms.

At work I find an empty conference room and chow down there since I need a break from my office.

 

We eat all our meals family style, either at the kitchen table or out at the patio table. All home cooked. We eat out on average 1-2X per month.

It's a shitload of work with 3 kids, but we think it's a good place to invest effort.

At work I'm known for being the guy who always brings his own lunch.
I want healthy food, and I want to get a chance to eat. On busier days that window for eating might only be 10 minutes and I don't want to spend that time running up to the cafeteria and waiting in line.

 

This is a great question. We have a breakfast nook, however the 3 of us eat our meals there. We cook most of our meals and do spend a lot of time in the kitchen Sandy moved the TV out of there because it was interfering with conversation. We do have a family dining table but we don't use it unless company comes over.

 

Usually in front of my computer.
I go out to brunch with my friend when we go vinyl hunting once a week and try to go out with my kiddos every other week.

 

At home, in our respective recliners. We have a tiny breakfast nook, which is mostly occupied by a chest freezer. I plan to move our small dining table back into the main 'living room' once we sort through the boxes of items we inherited when my in-laws downsized and after they passed away.

Growing up we ate at the dinner table; being allowed to eat in front of the TV was a special treat. I miss sitting at a dining table to eat.

 

At the dinner table, at my desk, TV tray in the living room, picnic table outside ... We don't really have a routine, we just eat wherever.

Eating out is mostly a convenience to us, we don't do it very often.

 

I too, grew up eating meals with the family and the TV on. Eating with the family was nice, the TV was a distraction. When we made this move, we put the spare TV away in the closet.

The social meal is dinner, with just the 3 of us and the meal, no TV or internet. We have just one dining table, which sits near the bay window between the kitchen and livingroom. We have a cooked meal each night with Friday night being takeaway night. We go out once-in-awhile but are currently watching the budget.
I tend to eat breakfast or lunch alone, standing up, looking out any given window. Distracting myself with the view slows me down. I often snack outside on the back patio as well. Again, I like to combine eating with something else I like, otherwise I tend to just consume without paying attention to enjoying it.

Interesting question!
