We never really ate out inside a place
all the time but we have gotten fast food just ever so slightly less than we used to.
Regardless my birthday is tomorrow; what normally would be filled with a nice, rare treat of spending a bit more than we normally would at a restaurant (aside from our anniversary), sitting with family out at a restaurant, won't be that way. We got steaks from a restaurant curbside for our anniversary in April but no it wasn't the same as we ate the steaks at home compared to eating at the restaurant (or what would have been in Vegas as we had a trip then). We missed step-father-in-law's birthday in March as well, etc. Mother's day will be another missed time spending with my family, missed my aunt's birthday in early April having a family meal out.
For us it's not reduced to someone in the family being an excellent cook or not. But happy for you that you got lucky to have such an excellent cook in the family. We do fine ourselves but I wouldn't call us excellent
