Steak at home: Medium Rare. At restaurants depends the better the place the more rare the steak. Waffle House well done. Longhorns medium. Woodfire Grill rare.

Eggs are always over well or scrambled.

Coffee Black with sugar at home and cream and sugar wile out.

Salads: at home, spritzed with fresh lemon juice, once in a while dressed with a quickie vinaigrette, only rarely with a real, from-scratch Caesar. In restaurants, I try whatever takes my whim. Peppercorn ranch? Sounds weird, but I'll try it. Green Goddess? Haven't had that for years; sure, bring it on. Restaurants are for exploring stuff I don't make/eat at home.

Coffee: in restaurants only, and only for breakfast. There's no coffee in the house and I have no idea where the coffee maker is.

Steaks; at home, barely past rare. Restaurants, usually medium-rare, mainly because the steaks most restaurants serve aren't good enough to be eaten rare. At home: eaten with sauteed 'shrooms. In restaurants: just w/ salt and maybe some steak sauce, if the meat isn't that tasty. I don't want the overly-salty, drowned-in-butter button mushrooms most restaurants serve.

French toast: only eat it at home--and made w/out the vanilla or that horrid coating of powered sugar. Good french toast tastes of egg and a sturdy, honest bread, not candy. Most restaurant french toast is an abomination.

Fish and seafood: at home, only the most basic stuff, prepared simply--usually broiled. In restaurants: anything. If it swam or crept along the sea floor, I'll try it, in just about any form it's offered. Fish and seafood can be temperamental to cook and, since I live 1500 miles inland, it's too expensive to fumble around with at home.

Pizza from Relli's: Thin herb crust with banana peppers, onions, olives, bacon, and anything but anchovies.

Pizza at home: Whatever way it comes out of the frozen box.
