it generally takes me about half an hour to 45 minutes to make and eat food, and the cost is usually something like 5-8 dollars.
Almost any place I go to for food would take half an hour to get and eat food before you count travel time, so I guess your choices are a lot faster and closer than anything to me, as well as being cheaper (I generally pay 13 or so dollars when eating out). Are you counting places like mcdonalds?
I guess I don't view it as having a personal chef if they make meals and then freeze them, but that's still cheaper than I would've assumed.
I live in Berkeley and there are various relatively cheap and fast restaurants (not chains) catering to the university crowd here, so I might be in a relatively good situation in that regard.
