Lox (actually, smoked salmon) & bagel with a schmear, red onions & capers. I've not had this in a long time. It hit the spot.

Grilled hamburgers topped with all the fixin’s. I have had a hankering for some roasted cauliflower with some freshly grated parmesan cheese sprinkled over the top. We will probably have that as a side dish with the burgers.

We just learned that our favorite local BBQ joint is closing up shop on July 3. Owner is retiring after many successful years. So we decided to pick up brisket and sausage plates with potato salad and baked beans. I guess this will be our last meal at a great little local spot.

Chicken in paprika/cream sauce with mushrooms, basmati, a huge bowl of rabbit food.

I hate when that happens. There was a great Chinese restaurant in Vienna just a mile from home (Wu's Garden.) They knew my name. I was up that way for work meetings after I moved here and took some coworkers there for dinner. That happened to be the last night they were open. No on wanted to buy the business, and the next generation had no interest in it. At least I got to say goodbye.

Restaurants are in trouble, overall. Most of them already depended on a low profit margin, and the COVID nonsense knocked many of them out of business. Then, the shortage of restaurants has led those still in business to determine that they could charge exorbitant prices while lowering their service and quality; thus, a lot of people have simply gotten out of the habit of eating out. Large cities and tourist places that see a lot of out-of-town business will always have room for restaurants, but local or neighborhood restaurants are dropping.

I shop quite a bit at restaurant supply stores. Especially produce prices have gone up 75%.
I didn't feel like cooking tonight so I went out to support a local Italian restaurant that I've only eaten at once before. The parking lot was full and I hate crowds, so I went to Walmart (sort of shares the parking lot) and picked up a frozen lasagna. I got the makings of a salad and garlic bread here at home.
I will say that the only time I've eaten at that place (maybe 2 months ago), a couple was just leaving and I was the only one in the place the entire time. Perhaps all those cars were for the Asian restaurant next door. They have a bar and wide screen TVs.
