    I’ll usually find that burgers/steaks etc at restaurants are what usually bother me more than if i go and buy/season/cook myself. Not sure if it’s just over seasoned meat, or the type/quality. Even then, I usually prefer chicken or turkey-based (lower fat) alternatives or mixes (like a turkey ground chuck).

    I haven’t really gotten into plant-based alternatives, though I’m not opposed to it…as long as it tastes good! Lol

      The two go hand in hand. Food service-grade ingredients are notoriously bad and cheap. They then compensate for this by heavily seasoning it so you don’t notice how bad it is. In the rare case that a restaurant uses high quality ingredients (e.g. serving prime rib), they are unlikely to season it as heavily.
