I also highly doubt you can make a superior meal, that's a little offensive to people who focus their lives and careers on the art of food. How offensive; I shouldn't need to pay $100+ a head to get a superior steak, parsnip, and greens; but, like the parent, I've yet to find convenient or suitably priced dining to that of my own cast iron. Granted, there are plenty of styles or meats I don't cook or source as well (eg. sous-vide or braised lamb) and am more than happy to go out for, but it's not hard to imagine amateur home-chefs cooking these dishes. There are entire shows around surfacing non-classical or non-fine-dining chefs.
