I'm glad to see it's not just me. Happy Hour, anyone?

I have had exactly one full meal in a restaurant in the last three or four years, and that was this past Thanksgiving, because A; I didn't wanna cook, and B: We got asked by friends to join them, and C: No, I did not order turkey. I actually had the best Osso Bucco I may have ever tasted. The Babs and I eat out maybe three or four times a month, most often sitting at the bar and sharing a sandwich or burger, or just ordering appies. It's not that we're cheap - by no means. It's just that we're really not big eaters, per se, any maybe that's why I don't look  like my brother.
 
According to this report, this appears to be the 'new norm'. Supposedly, nationwide appie sales are up 20+% because of this. Who can blame 'em when a rather smallish steak in a chain restaurant will gitcha for $ 23.00 or more. 
What do you guys do?
