More expensive, worse quality, smaller portions, worse service.
Even in the sit down experiences I did enjoy pre-plannedemic, those old timers are all gone now. Impossible to stay in business. In their place are new chains or Sysco/US Foods storefronts wearing the zombie skins of the previous real restaurant that stood in it's place.
Lot of the places I used to go to in the Before Times went under thanks to the shutdowns. Fast food is dead because it got so expensive you might as well spend the extra couple bucks for to eat at something like an Applebees or Chillis. Sure it's not great, but it's way better than say McDonalds; and you can sit down and eat it with a beer.
Personally I just tend to go to the local Chinese buffet, because it's still (relatively) cheap with a good selection. If it's all going to be Sysco/US Foods I might as well minimize my costs paying to eat it. When an all I can eat buffet is $20 it's hard to justify spending more for the same food elsewhere.
Using his verified X account Wednesday, Brooks posted a photograph of a hamburger, fries, and what was left of what looks like an alcoholic drink. He added this caption: “This meal just cost me $78 at Newark Airport. This is why Americans think the economy is terrible.”
Brooks’ tweet received so much attention (most of it ridicule) that the airport restaurant in question, the 1911 Smokehouse Barbecue, responded on Facebook. Above a photo of Brooks, the restaurant piled on the scorn with what can only be described as an awesome fact check:
Looks like someone was knocking back some serious drinks – Bar tab was almost 80% and he’s complaining about the cost of his meal keep drinking buddy – we get paid off everything.
It really is astounding how modern journalists truly believe they can lie with impunity nowadays.
This may seem small but lets be honest, thirty years ago publicly lying would get you fired from any reputable newspaper. Now he'll just ignore it and the whole thing will go away in a few days while his buddies all cover for him.
Frankly I wish businesses would begin suing these assholes.
Even if he wasn't lying about his alcohol abuse, it's not why Americans think the economy is terrible. If you're buying individual shots of whiskey at an airport restaurant you're obviously way less price-conscious than the rest of us - you know they're going to be paying a premium lease for the location, and passing those costs onto you.
Unfortunately, yes. Normal people care about being lied to shamelessly, but for the kinds of people Brooks circulates with, I rather suspect it's par for the course.
I hate this brand of "conservative" more than I hate libs. Traitors before enemies, and all that. Also, the fellow "conservatives" who cite these people can eat a dick.
The trend is for them to just agree with most of the lib talking points anyway.
Depends on the whisky, some aged scotch will set you back a lot more than 60 bucks a glass. Hell a 30 year old Islay goes for £2500 or $3002 if you prefer.
OK but eating at restaurants is still way more expensive than it was just a few years ago.

This is the inevitable consequence of inflation.
It's almost like printing money for the scamdemic was terrible, and everyone (trump included) cheered it on. Retards.
I took my printed money and bought gold with it.

They didn't sue him and he wasn't physically punished, so he did get away with it with impunity.
Demon worshipping pedophiles don't care about their reputation.

Do they though? I say that because as far as I can tell, normal people delight in being lied to.

He’s about as conservative as Bernie Sanders.
He is there “token conservative” in the NYT even though he’s as leftist as the rest of them.

Ok, but they just he paid 61 bucks for a glass of whiskey. That's still fucked.
