i don’t think it’s because of millennials or income inequality...
it’s because the food has gone to shit to maximize shareholder value. starboard value partners actually had to put together a strategy to make their restaurants (olive garden, red lobster) stop serving shit food
i remember when both of those first opened 25 years or so ago. they were the cheesecake factories of their day, and they served awesome meals. then, they went to steam bags and microwaveables.
speaking of good restaurants that have gone downhill, i am so disappointed with pf chang’s, it used to be delicious and now makes meals that taste like salty tv dinners.
