The Bauer predicts much doom and gloom in the coming year, even for popular joints, where prices per head are dropping: "Several restaurants report that in lean times, cocktail sales go up and wine sales go down. Even restaurants that are still busy report that their check average has dropped ... As I look to next year, I predict several prominent restaurants will probably bow out, and I think we'll be hard pressed to find restaurateurs to replace them." [BauerBlog]
