For a proper restaurant this is true, fast food not so much. People have less money to spend and are looking for a quick and cheap alternative to a $20 steak.

Mcdonald's i think was up 11% Q3 of last year they reported recently. If i can buy a nice quality fish and chips or burger and chips i would eat that over mcdonalds anyday and im sure most people would agree.
