Casual dining is in danger — and millennials are to blame.
Brands such as TGI Fridays, Ruby Tuesday, and Applebee's have faced sales slumps and dozens of restaurant closures, as casual dining chains have struggled to attract customers and grow sales.
"Casual-dining restaurants face a uniquely challenging market today," Buffalo Wild Wings CEO Sally Smith recently wrote in a letter to shareholders.
According to Smith, these sit-down restaurants' struggles can blamed on the most-frequently besmirched generation: millennials.
"Millennial consumers are more attracted than their elders to cooking at home, ordering delivery from restaurants and eating quickly, in fast-casual or quick-serve restaurants," Smith wrote.
Millenials are too focused on food ordering apps and healthy cuisine.

Eh, their wings are quite frankly shit. Their breading runs a minimum of 5 on the Mohs hardness scale. Wingstop is by far the superior competitor from strictly a food perspective.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.

Thanks for snitching on them.
Until they get to a minimum 8, they won't seem me in their joint (on the grind... err, ground that if the price is high already, at least I'll get some precious stones)
