....the dinner table?
As kids, every dinner was at the table. Now that I have my own family, we eat at the table only on occassion, mostly weekends when I grill out, or Thanksgiving/Christmas meals. We have a countertop with barstools that serves as our primary eating area nowadays.
I do remember it being a huge deal when my dad would allow everyone to eat on TV trays in the living room for dinner. Usually there was something big showing on TV (like the MASH finale).

You are welcome to dine with me and my family anytime you are in the OKC area.
Never did growing up unless we had visitors.
We almost always eat dinner together now at the table - no phones, games, etc.
It's my favorite part of the day.

The kids eat in their cages. 
Yes. Always. Even if it's a quick meal between games or events.
