If restaurants just microwave their food can I just get the frozen version and cut out the middle man? (midwest.social)

Yes, it is called cooking. Was I stoned at the time? No comment.

If the only restaurant you go to is applebees and TGI Fridays's and the like, sure. They're already available in store.

    You mentioned TGI Fridays.

    When I was in college, we'd go to Fridays all the time, and the food was incredible.

    Then, over the years, it turned to shit. We stopped going.

    One day, we were craving the memory of what it was and decided to give it anorher chance.

    When we sat down, the manager stopped by our table to thank us for coming in and informed us that they had changed their process. She said that in recent years all their food was being prepared off-site, frozen, and just microwaved to order at the restaurant. However, they recently went back to doing all the prep from scratch in their kitchen.

    The food was incredible! Exactly what we remembered. We started going back.

    Then COVID hit. The Fridays that we would go to shut down.

    The last time we went to a Fridays, the restaurant was empty, the staff was disinterested, and the food was shit.
