The Beatles - Happy Birthday: https://youtu.be/ztoSUhbNntQ

For your own Birthday do you prefer to:
A» Go out to eat
B» Wife or Husband cook
C» Go to another relatives home
D» Egg your own celebration dinner

My birthday is coming up and I chose "D" without hesitation. 

theyolksonyou

Haven't had a bday yet with the egg, but my oldest son chose egg.

Ozzie_Isaac

A - I love sushi.  Cannot egg sushi.

Anything else then D

SmokeyPitt

A, but I usually do a night out with the missus in a hotel somewhere.  Not so much for dinner as for the dessert.  Brown  brown

A. Always A. Why would I want to clean-up on my birthday?

Eggerty

I would def EGG but there are some amazing places here in Denver.  It would depend on what I would want to eat.  Sushi being one on the list (I know uncooked fish).  We made it before and thought after a few hours "What the h*ll are we doing making this..."

But the perfect night would be dinner with the wife and 2 kids (2.5 & .5 yo) at home, eating a better meal than what you can get eating out for the most part. 

NCEggSmoker

i generally cook my own and Mrs. NCEggSmoker does the desserts. 

NPHuskerFL

 Didn't expect more to choose A.  One of my favorites is Sushi so maybe will have to hit that as a lunch warm-up.

@SmokeyPitt good call!

AlbertaEgger

D for sure, no question there. But cooking with the wife also, we dont like to get out much. Plus, then driving is involved, and that means a lack of liquor.

NPHuskerFL

@AlbertaEgger HuskerMaMa & I like to cook together. We also enjoy going to a nice restaurant but, then that leaves one of us out for cocktails & that dog don't hunt.

jcaspary

D no doubt!!!  Cook a really nice meal on the Egg.   Better food and a lot cheaper.  

NPHuskerFL

@jcaspary Better food no doubt. Cheaper?  Let me do the shopping and you'll recant.  
But, still likely less expensive in retrospect.

D no doubt.

D. I hate people. Especially in groups. Therefore I hate restaurants.

Foghorn

D.  I don't get as much egg time as I would like - and it is often for quick meals like burgers or brats.  For my birthday I typically overcompensate by filling the egg (and maybe one or two other grills) with so much meat that party guests take meat home and we have leftovers for at least a week.

A - I can not match what I can get a a decent restaurant

I just rent out the whole restaurant. 

texaswig

Most times on my birthday we go to some new place I've been wanting to go to. 

CincyTiki

D for me as well, I take the day off and cook something fun

Foghorn

I should add that when I cook something for my birthday, there is a 95+% chance that something I learned at this site enhances the quality of the cook.

Thanks to all for that.

WeberWho

I totally dig it when my wife fires up the egg and cooks dinner.  Birthday or not

You must not have nice restaurants in Jacksonville.

Sounds like a reason to join Club SRF @NPHuskerFL

D i made pizza for the family on my Birthday

@Eggcelsior We have some excellent restaurants in Jax and surrounding areas. I provide service in many of them. However, I will almost always choose to cook myself. I guess I'm weird that way huh. I don't work in an office & I'm surrounded by commercial kitchens a lot so I like to be at home. I kick on the stereo, fire up the eggs, engage in conversation with my wife and family, drink some cocktails, look & listen to nature and just bask in the moment. It's my Zen. 

NPHuskerFL

@DoubleEgger I mentioned that in casual conversation to HuskerMaMa and I was directed to the freezer where we have probably 10+# vac saved (For Chili in my mind).  I ain't about to eat that this weekend . A SRF brisket will come soon enough. I'm going with some of my favorites (not including brisket).  

WyBBQer

D That's the obvious choice for me.  I would chose D even if I thought that I could do better in a restaurant.  Nothing is better than quality time at home with family!

Skiddymarker

After over 30 years in the engineering support, marketing and sales game, I ate at some of the best restaurants all over North America on the company dime. In fact ,before we moved to the Vancouver BC area, I checked my expanse accounts and I had already spent almost 2 years in the city on 5 or 6 day trips. Now, we stop for burgers at a pub, providing they have a craft beer. Seldom eat out. For BDs, I like “D”, but then at my age celebrating another year is in fact a celebration in itself!

Fair enough. My dad. sister and I(and now my daughter) have a birthday within 17 days of each other. Going out for a big meal has been a tradition and still is. Secondly, cooking in our house means "you cook, you clean", no exceptions. That's not my idea of a good time on my birthday. Lastly. Our kids are 3 and under, so Zen is a night away from them with dinner and a hotel. I suppose it's due to us being at different stages in our respective lives.

Plus, I saved about 20 bucks on the steak I had compared to what I could do buying it myself(dry aged Waygu).
