You are right, people started tightening belts a year ago
Olive Garden, Still a fan. But they’re high carb. Used to love how they let you try a wine. I guess some of them don’t do that anymore.
Cracker Barrel, great marketing for a greasy spoon. It’s truck stop food. Once your system gets used to it you wont spend all day in the bathroom. Kind of like that Spaceballs movie, ya know... “Check Please!” And they always have a great little shop to buy junk to stuff your car with. They should have a little baby alien up in the souvenirs, with a top hat. That would be hilarious merchandising!
