How often did your family eat in a restaurant when you were a child?

[ginny]

As a kid in the 60's, I recall sometimes going to Burger Chef for lunch, sometimes the Dairy Bar after church on Sundays but very rarely overall.  As a family, we probably went out to eat dinner about once or twice a month.  It was considered an extravagance.  And back then there weren't nearly as many restaurants as there are now.  Most meals were home cooked.  She also made ONE dessert per week, like a cake or a pie.  When that was gone you had to wait until next week for dessert.
