Yea, a Home Cooked meal is a million times better than any crap you will get in a dirty rat and roach infested restaurant. Go to the grocery store with your parents, pick out some Fresh Fish, Chicken, Filet Mignon, Favorite Vegetable or two, Favorite Starch, and Ingredients for your Mom to make your favorite dessert.   Screw the overpriced, loud, crowded, dirty restaurant

I agree with mammo. Tell them you would really love a home cooked meal. Happy Birthday!

It's your birthday, why do something to make yourself miserable?  Maybe explain to your family that you would enjoy a nice dinner and gathering at home.  I'm, sure they'll understand....it YOUR birthday! :)  Best wishes.
