I wonder if that's true. We went out to dinner last weekend with my stepsister and her husband, and we had to wait almost three hours for a table, they were so busy. All the other restaurants in this shopping area had full parking lots, too.
This is in Ohio, where the economy is very bad right now. On the other hand, I went to a local seafood store and the owner was singing the blues about how bad business has been. He carries fresh fish flown in daily, plus a lot of gourmet and specialty foods, many from local producers (free-range duck and chicken eggs for $5 dozen, which is about $2 higher than at the grocery store), and many premade items like crabcakes, soups, seafood salads, and other delicacies. It does make sense that his business is down.
