[quote=Anonymous]Like everything else costs for restaurants are going up and not everyone can or wants to pay $25+ for an entire at a “mid-tier” restaurant. I applaud restaurants for paying workers a livable wage but the reality for the customer is it costs a lot more to dine out. I used to eat out at restaurants 1 - 2x a month, sometimes but not always in DC. But I got tired of $60 per person checks for food that isn’t out of this world or that much of a delicacy. That on top of the hassle of finding parking, etc. A week’s worth of groceries costs me $150 and that includes meat, fish, and fresh veggies and fruits. I’ll cook at home and suspect that’s the mindset of all but the very wealthy or Gen Z who will put down their whole paycheck to eat out. This affects restaurants everywhere. [/quote]
