10 perfectly legitimate reasons to eat out

With Restaurant Week fast approaching, you don't have to feel guilty diving, sampling and indulging in eating out for the entire week and now you have some excusable reasons.

- Dionna Young

(1) Your significant other doesn't deserve to be tortured with another of your 'cooked-with-love' dishes.

(2) You are in a really bad mood. When you are in a bad mood, you burn things, which means another night of sampling epicurean delights on the restaurant scene.

(3) It's time for a dinner with friends and this can't be done while slaving in the kitchen.

(4) After Restaurant Week, you will have a good reason to start jogging again to show off those cute shorts.

(5) You just got your nails manicured - enough said.

(6) Fine restaurants is also a place to delight in eye candy.

(7) When last have you treated your taste buds to something tasty and scrumptious and not cooked by you?

(8) You just bought yourself another pair of six-inch heels - what
better setting than a restaurant where you can sit in comfort and have
others admire your sexy stilts from afar.

(9) You didn't get to Europe this summer, but Restaurant Week will bring
Europe to you through menus of culinary delight at a restaurant near
you.

(10) You can't possibly shop on an empty stomach. Time to treat yourself to some Jamaican comfort food, and pronto!
