going out to eat

After 2 years of marriage we thought we should have learned each others quirks and likes and dislikes. we had arranged for a babysitter because we were having a date night. nothing extravagant just a dinner and a movie. It was still early so we decided to do the movie first and then dinner. we saw some action film and then it was off to eat.

He drove and asked where I wanted to go, I had no preference so he drove to something he considered "out to eat", McDonalds. "This is not 'out to eat' in my book, there needs to be something of an atmosphere with menus that are handed to you and someone who brings you your food", I said to him.
"Oh, well we can go to Carls Jr, where they give you a table number and bring you the food." He obviously was not getting it.
"I want to go somewhere with a waiter and steak and mashed potatoes."
"Even though you're hungry now you want to go wait somewhere to get seated, then wait for a person to come take our order, and then wait again for our food. So you're saying I might not get to eat for another hour?"
"You are exaggerating, I just don't want to eat something you have quite often. I would rather have something made to my preference."
"then ask for extra pickles or no mayo."

I was getting nowhere. I think I had to let him win this one. " I'll a #2  with sprite."
