It's slower at all restaurants in January, that we know.. But is it even slower this year because of the economic turmoil facing the nation? Are people going to stop eating?? I think that's a complicated question..

For one, people will eat. They may not go to restaurants as much, but they will eat. Catering will still continue--funerals and weddings don't end because of a recession.

But in my mind we may see a turn back to local homegrown and home cooked food. Goodbye to the chains---besides of course the fast food that will never die in America..

Ii think there will be a realignment in people's minds of what's important and what matters...

There will be a cutback.. Smaller places will thrive if they price their food right.. I think food truck will do good, too.

I may be talking nonsense.. but the economy makes that happen. Things are pretty bad.
Had a pretty bad experience tonight at a local grocery store. It started great though! Steaks were on sale, I bought a few and thought, 'hey this will make a great dinner' .. How wrong I was.

The steaks were green! Green!! I tell you! Green!

But really, who else out there experienced a situation where, *cough*, the restaurant you work at would have STILL served those steaks? I mean.. they weren't all green, and after all when the steak gets grilled you'd have a pretty tough time seeing the discoloration. Right?

I'm leaving the store unnamed for a few reasons--but mainly because as soon as I took my discolored meat back they allowed me to have a choice between new meat or new money. I chose the meat, only because I was hungry for some bloody iron tonight..

But.. if I went to a restaurant and that steak was green.. how would I have known? And, don't tell me it doesn't happen............................
