This article is talking about how the smaller more fast casual restaurants are taking in some items that you would see on a gourmet menu. I think this article is telling the truth, for example most fast food restaurants are not known for an angus steak burger, but in the recent market both Burger King and McDonalds have come out with burgers that you might see in a steak house.
Over the past few months, the foodeservice industry has had to develop new specials and deals to attract customers to their restaurants. Due to the economic state of the country, restaurants of all sizes are begining to advertise different dining special to appease the financial concerns of their customers. Although this article talks about a number of upscale restaurants, including Capital Grille, many causal dining restaurants are incorporating menu specials as well.
Recently there have been commericals for Red Loster, Friday's, and AppleBee's, whom are each offering their version of a tasting menu. Most of these menus offer customers a 3 course meal for a low fixed cost. In the Providence area these kind of deals can even be found at restaurants on Thayer Street and Federal Hill.
I beleive that this trend will continue to be offered until the economy strenghtens.
Restaurants around the world are trying to adjust their business models to get more people into their establishments. On the other hand consumers are looking for complete meal options and what to be satisfied on a budget.
One of the most common solutions are to offer tastings which are a little bits of alot of variety. An other way to solve this issue is meal packages. By providing diners with an appetizer, entree, and dessert at a reasonable price than it will draw in more customers because they feel they are getting a great deal.
It also states certain restaurants that are doing each of the following topics discussed and listed some of the actual dishes.
I think this is a great idea in this market because more people want to be satisfied when they leave a restaurant not overly stuffed and feeling sick. Most places like to stuff their patrons which makes them not return just by having to much food. These tastings will provide enough food to fulfill the needs of the customers.
