Tonight, I'm eating some black-eyed peas/corn, green peas, 2 chicken sandwiches and a small order of French fries. We have some things we got at the grocery store a few days ago. We usually go twice a month and stock up on meats, vegetables and other starchy foods like rice and potatoes.

I don't think I've ever met anyone that liked beer the first time they tried it, if that was when they were young. I'm not sure if it's an acquired taste or simply that your sensitivity to certain flavours changes during teenage years, but I think it's definitely easier to appreciate beer when you're a bit older.
Plus, it might just be that the beer your dad drank was crap. All beers are not the same, and there's a massive difference in styles and flavours. A pale brown tasteless mild ale at 3% is not the same as a double hopped American IPA which is not the same as a dark stout, which is not the same as the popular chilled piss that is Corrs or Bud light, which is not the same as something like Kwak or Delirium.

À ribeye I had while away on a trip not too long ago. A fond memory 😂

I did a thick cut, low sodium, Sugardale brand bacon, Mt. Olive Hot Sweet pickled jalapeño pepper, yellow mustard, on a hot dog bun thing and I want another!
I think I could sell these.

This one.
Basically kids don't like bitter stuff - proper beer, coffee, dark chocolate - because evolution. Bitter in nature is often poison (alkaloids, in poisonous plants and fungi), and poisons affect kids more because there's less body.
We grow out of it because we get bigger and smarter about what goes in the big hole (when we're not selling games consoles to buy 10,000cal of food a day and dairy we can't eat) and there's more body so poisons become mere narcotics.

Oh you rotten swine you... you know we can't get those here in the UK, right? I loved In-n-Out when I lived in CA, and I actually lived about half a mile from their global HQ in Irvine. Bizarrely, a news story from earlier today revealed that they are relocating their HQ out of Irvine. They also had a restaurant about 100 yards away, so I presume that was something of a flagship store for them, and I went their about twice a week after I discovered how good it was.Haven't had In-n-Out for lunch since my, um... accident. I somehow managed to keep everything in the box! 😅
The closest thing we have here is Five Guys, but it is horrifically expensive - I had my first (and likely last) meal there last week and it was a staggering £22 / $28 for a double cheeseburger meal, and it was no bigger or better than what you've posted above - which I'm guessing was around $10? @Famine has the right idea though - I can always sell my PS5 and treat myself to Five Guys burgers. I reckon I could get around 10 lunches out of that.

And in my opinion, Five Guys sucks. Over cooked, dry, thin burger patty, only saved by bacon, cheese, and more bacon. Maybe some onion. I like the fries though. But yeah, seriously overpriced.
