For people who love eating out at restaurants, having to dine on takeout at home can feel uninspiring.<br />But according to Business Insider, chefs and restauranteurs say there a number of ways to make eating at home feel more special.<br />First, turn off the news and the fluorescent kitchen lights. Swap them for mood music and candlelight.<br />Dress your table in the theme of the cuisine you're eating. Use cloth napkins with napkin rings or fancy folds, and your good china, cutlery, and stemware.<br />Third, pair your meal with an appropriate beverage: sweet tea with fried chicken, sake with sushi, or horchata with Mexican food.<br />Finally, jazz up your entree's plating with a garnish, and your dessert with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a chocolate or raspberry drizzle. Bon appetit!
