[quote=Anonymous]I think the business model changed. In the 70s/80s, you had 1. fast food/pizza , 2, diners and buffets and 3. Fancy restaurants requiring a jacket usually French, maybe a steakhouse or maybe Italian. If you lived an urban area you might have a Chinese restaurant . The diners/buffets/ Chinese would serve more food than the fancy restaurants. If they needed to compete more they would advertise larger meals, more value. You didn’t have 100 different restaurants offering casual sit down dining like you do now. Appetizers stopped being appetizers because restaurants could not afford to have some diners spending 1/3 or 1/4 if they weren’t as hungry. No one would make a reservation at the highest end restaurant and just order an appetizer but this was really common when casual, no jacket, restaurants exploded. [/quote]
