After reading “10 Things Your Restaurant Won’t Tell You” over on MSN Money, you should really consider cooking that pasta dish at home, or getting your dinner from an over-the-counter restaurant.

Here are two examples that you should always remember:

• Our specials are anything but. Every culture has its leftover dish - something tasty originally made of a whole bunch of leftover ingredients. Think of pizza, fried rice, burritos, vegetable bean soup… Well, restaurants are no different.
• Never go out to eat on a Monday. Sure you may get seated, but, if there isn’t a lot of table turnover in the restaurant, chances are that your fresh ingredients are experiencing that “not so fresh” feeling.

Do the contents of a good burger (for the grill, not the broiler) always have to resemble what’s in a meatloaf recipe?
Or…are the ingredients the same but the method of cooking makes them taste different?

Experts, please expound….
