That is strong stuff. When you spend time outside of the DC bubble you can really smell the economic fear. The midwest especially is in full hunker-down-in-the-root-cellar mode.

Great. More tiny portions of expensive chichi. If restauranteurs were really concerned about the bottom line, they'd just offer food aromas via a communal Dennis Hopper gas mask. That way, you aren't actually eating anything so you don't have to work off that seared ahi tuna and fois gras at the gym. But you still get to sit around and bitch about how expensive everything is. And there's already plenty of fried chicken. Most of it is $20 for two pieces that's no better, and often worse, than Popeye's.
