Americans spend a significant portion of their income on dining and entertainment. The U.S. Dept of Agriculture estimates that Americans today spend almost half their food budget in restaurants, so it benefits us all to find ways to save money eating out. The traditional mealtime has largely gone by the wayside, with consumers choosing to outsource food preparation for their families more and more as demands on time increase due to spending more time working, commuting, taking kids to extra-curricular activities,etc.

According to the National Restaurant Association, restaurant industry sales will reach an estimated $537 billion in 2007.

Also according to the National Restaurant Association, Nevada, Arizona, and Florida was expected to lead the nation in restaurant industry sales growth in 2007 (see the State-by-State Restaurant Industry Sales, Jobs Forecast for 2007 and Beyond). Organic and local items are increasing in popularity, which seems to jibe with recent sales trends being reported by grocers such as Sprouts, Whole Foods Market, and Trader Joe's. Regardless of where you live, it seems the trend of eating out more won't be changing any time soon.

By the way, when you travel and dine out internationally, be sure to understand the culture where you're going. For example, here's an interesting article that highlights the differences between dining out in America and Germany.

And regardless of where you eat, I hope you're not taking your fork for granted!
