[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our dining out behavior has changed. We are pretty high income urban dwellers, so have plenty of options and already get away with cheaper bills than most since we do not drink. That said, we now only eat out on two disparate ends of the spectrum. We will get fast food/fast casual/inexpensive Mexican or Indian takeout/hole in the wall ethnic once a week or so. We have cut out visits to mid-range restaurants almost entirely for similar reasons expressed by others. Pre-pandemic and inflation we ate at a midrange place once every 10 days. We will book a table at one of a few favorite higher-end restaurants (think one Michelin star or otherwise top spot that requires booking 2 weeks to a month in advance and may require being on Resy at midnight or whatever to secure a table) about once every two months.

Similar. Have completely given up on mid-range "American" restaurants. Will still go out for Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Korean, Indian. But OMG I am so done with having to screenshot some boring menu to order a f#cking overpriced middling burger. Sure, Covid happened. But so many DC area restaurants have used that to settle into price-gouging mediocrity. And those restaurants need to die.

So for us it's good ethnic places in the burbs and special occasion restaurants. Nothing else. Our cooking game is on point these days.   [/quote]
