This is not true in countries with a real food culture (which is a lot of them) or places like the South or Louisiana Creole cooking.
But yeah in the midwest my Grandma was a terrible cook, which she passed down to my mom. I'm hard pressed to think of any friend's houses growing up which had amazing food. My Aunt is a great cook. But she's a pastry chef by trade so that might not count.
My Korean friend might have had amazing food, but his house smelled weird and I was scared of it. So mad it took me like 25 years to discover amazing Korean BBQ.
