I also eat out quite often 2-3 times a week and at nice places such as Flemings, Mortons, Ruths Chris & last night Bob Chins Crab House. Last night when I walked into Bob Chin's and if any knows this place you would know that it's one of the top 5 grossing places to eat in this country, The place was dead at 8:45 on a Friday. The place seats 650 and there were maybe 40 people in the joint.

Guys, Chin's is a place I used to eat at all the time.

On a weekend you would wait upwards of an hour for a table, sometimes two hours. It is expensive but you pay ONLY for the food (we're talking picnic table style dining here guys!) and its damn good.

If that place is dead.... in Chicago, which, by the way, is about as "recession proof" as it gets.....

Oh oh.
