It'll impress the ladies/gentleman/etc... Especially if you can do it "clean" - like if you leave the kitchen a mess, it's not nearly as hot.

Saves a shitload of money too. Groceries are ~4x less expensive than restaurants.

Protip: You can freeze meats, cheese, and bread. You don't need to go to the grocery store constantly, you can buy more over fewer trips.

One of the best side effects of having gone vegan is that the cost of food has gone through the floor. Plant-based staples are dirt cheap and extremely shelf-stable, and because most times it's easier and more interesting to cook for myself, I learned a lot of insanely cheap, yummy, and healthy foods to cook. I just bought 8 lb of Desi chickpeas and 20 lbs of basmati rice – enough to feed the fucking Artesh for a year – for about $30 (and I wasn't trying to penny-pinch). The spices, herbs, sauces, oil, nuts, etc. that go into making that, meanwhile, barely even factor in cost-wise.

Even with a non-plant-based diet, you'll find cooking staples like chicken at home saves you a fuckload of money.
