You misunderstood me.

My point is I can make poor man's food myself. I do it all the time. My husband has had plenty of one pot meals. Plenty of beans (he laughs every time I am soaking a pot of beans) and so on. So, I am not going out and paying for something I can make myself, and do, and eat on a regular basis. I rarely choose a restaurant that serves something I can make better at home. I think it's stupid and a waste of money to do so. How much is somebody going to charge for that? I can make a meal to feed 10 for under $20. So I surely am not going to pay $20 for a meal for one. And I think that's a valid point for any new restaurant to consider.
Now a place that had the bread like someone else mentioned, that would be worth going out for.
