"During the recession
years, the wafer-thin profit
margin that nourished many
Detroit area restaurants in
good times was squeezed even
thinner. To escape from the
rising tide of red ink, some
proprietors turned to drink,
pushing to get liquor licenses
and offering cut-rate drinks.
"What has saved re-
staurateurs is that dining out
has come a long way from
being a luxury. Since 1970,
when one-third of the con-
sumer's food dollar was spent
on meals away from home,
restaurants have claimed a
good share of these expendi-
tures. Dining out, in one form
or another, has become a way
of life."
