Above all, the probability of a restaurant being able to provide a meal with sufficient quality is too low.

If my family gets together, we can bang out a multiple course guaranteed high quality meal in one hour, having fun while we do it.

But a lot of that is due to cooking knowledge that the elders in the family pass down and refine over many, many decades.

That works if you have a family and enjoy cooking. For me neither applies.

And I'm sure restaurant chefs get some kind of training to replace the passed down knowledge :)

It also works for very narrow sets of dishes. Nobody is an expert in every type of food in the world. Parent poster was just humblebragging.
