If a proper restaurant is the same price a fast food service, there aren't many reasons to get fast food service :-P

I have noticed this in other areas, in which the price for the cheap version of something goes up until the difference with the expensive version is so low that you may as well get the expensive version.

Regarding food prices, it is getting so ridiculous that I switched to self-production for a lot of things last year. The videogame/tabletop/RPG parties I organize with friends used to make use of take-away food or home delivered food, but nowadays we just cook something in-site because the difference in price is so huge.
