Eating out now is ridiculous. It's extremely easy to spend $100 for a family of four.

It is! Our family of 4 generally goes out on Friday; as a sign of change last night we decided to order out, but eat at home. What would be $80, was now $45. (getting rid of the 4 drinks, appetizer, and ample server tip).

I have to imagine consumers will become tired of the cost increases - we put up with it a few months, and decided "no".

Yeah it's insane. Family of three, 58 dollars before tip. And this was a sit down very casual burger type joint.

It’s extremely easy to spent $100 on restaurants in LA just for 2 even. It’s obscene.
