Last night the kids and I went to our local burrito joint and we almost couldn't get in for the crowds. The swank resto next door was virtually empty, but Mi Pueblo was busier than Dick Cheney's shredder. What's the occasion, we asked some neighbors waiting outside. Their theory, and I'm not arguing, is that everyone's loooking for value. Not exactly Depression-era bread lines, but maybe a step in that direction. We decided we'd describe this phenomenon as "eating down". Good food + cheap prices = big crowds.
I thought I spied a couple of ex-brokers from Lehman Brothers on line, but it may have been just wishful thinking. Easy on the guac.
