I think fine dining is dying out everywhere... but I think there will be - and there has to always be - room for at least a small number of really fine, old-school fine-dining restaurants.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think fine dining should be part of the community where it is, more than just for the people who are going to make a special occasion.
Fine dining is an occasional treat for most people.
I used to love fine dining, but I lost my appetite for it to a degree because sometimes it is too much about the effort and too little about the result.
I love the intensity of the fine-dining kitchen, but loathe the fine-dining experience.
Fine dining teaches you how to cook many different things, and it gives you the basic fundamentals, but these specialty restaurants, they're not teaching you the broad foundation you need to become a well-rounded cook.
Dining should be something that isn't always taken extremely seriously.
Dinner parties are still highly popular, and I believe they always will be.
A lot of restaurants serve good food, but they don't have very good service.
The movie theater is never going away. If that was a case why are there still restaurants? People still have kitchens in their home!
I don't think there's going to be sustainable demand for restaurants that force you to spend hours there.
