I wouldn’t even call it economic “pressure”. I hit a point about a year ago where I just got tired of being disappointed in restaurant food. Everything is worse: portions, food quality, variety, service, etc. The exorbitant prices are really just the final nail in the coffin when you are easily spending $70 for a night out only to be disappointed half the time.
Oh well, it pushed me to get more into meal prepping so I eliminate eating out when it just isn’t convenient to cook, plus it is healthier.
This is our experience as well. Restaurants are supposed to be a treat, but these days it seems like every one is in a race to see who can provide the least quality garbage from the sysco truck.
