If gaobest’s kid eats the Five Guy cheeseburger, he must have a pretty big appetite. I am only able to finish mine if I’m pretty hungry. It’s pretty large!

My wife and daughter often only finish half their small cheeseburgers.

Finished product. I took the advice from this thread and guided teenager on marinade. This was the highlight of our week.

She is still hesitant in the kitchen and I've used this time to bolster her confidence and get her stir-frying and searing with me.

I always looked at restaurants as a supplement, not a base. Something to be enjoyed when times were good but never relied on. That's distinctly the opposite of most of the folks I know here (Brooklyn) and it's obvious the transition is tough for a lot of those folks. I'm honestly just very happy that things like Bon Appetit and Serious Eats exist with such a healthy online presence so people have easy access to good cooking advice. That was not the case when I started scouring the internet for recipes in the mid-00's.
