25 Food Fails From People Who’ll Never Trust Takeout Again
Finding a good takeout joint you can trust is a long trial and error process. I’ve been disappointed so many times. I pick it up, bring the food home, and immediately feel the guilt realizing I wasted time and money when I could’ve just slapped together something at home that would’ve been better. And probably tastier.
The betrayal hits different when you’re already home and can’t return it. I feel for the folks experiencing these takeout food fails and carryout disasters. Takeout will never be the same for them.
The trust is broken, the money is gone, and they probably should’ve just cooked.
