Why is food from a restaurant/takeaway so hard to replicate? How are celebrity chefs considered good when any recipe they write for a cook book is trash? Do they purposefully write sub-par recipes? Is it about the ingredients and equipment people use at home? Why the fuck can home made food never be made to restaurant standard?
Sugar
Salt
MSG
These three things in higher abundance....ever make a mediocre spaghetti sauce? Add a shitload of sugar, suddenly it's delicious

Yeah, if you have a daily intake of a dozen donuts and a 12 pack of soda. What, you own a corn syrup processing plant?
Ingredients I'd say. Crap - mediocre chefs also use a shitload of fat.
It's an easy way to satisfy people.

last one was a fried chicken recipe, don't remember the source, but it was on a website that someone on /ck/ posted, most recent examples are from stuff my parents cooked last time I was at home from various cookbooks by tv chefs (hairy bikers mostly)
Maybe it has something to do that you are in a nice place, got some expectations, pay a small fortune for it.
Quality of ingredients perhaps?
Those higher end places are probably using expensive top quality stuff. Grocery stores dont always have something comparable.
