I think you're conflating enjoyment with status?

It's low status to eat well on home cooked foods, and high status to eat poorly at well advertised garbage restaurants

Unless we are talking about the kind of restaurants that are difficult to get a reservation for, then I think you are confused about what creates status in American culture.

Going through the drive through at McDonalds certainly will not raise your status in America.
