I lost my taste for the middle in 2002 when I got food poisoning at a Red Lobster after dinner there with J.I. Packer. I don’t think I ever apologized enuf to him for that bad meal.
Overall restaurant spending has grown in the past decade. Meanwhile, it's been a tricky year for the "casual dining" sector—sit-down establishments in the middle-cost tier of the market, such as TGI Fridays and Red Lobster, Lora Kelley writes:

This is infuriating to me. An example of horrific voyeurism and shoddy journalism. Asking a family member for a public response <4 hours after a violent death is immoral. No one in raw shock should be asked to speak on the record in a moment like this.

There are those who think Trump's election means that now nothing matters. They're wrong. Everything matters now. The binary, singular choice is behind us. Now the choice facing each of us is what kind of person will we be in the season that lies ahead.
