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.

You'll notice that when realDonaldTrump is around, DannyB isn't. At least he finally registered a specialty account for his neurosis.

I've always said, I love the Irish. One thing I like to say: "Always remember to forget the friends that proved untrue, but never forget to remember those that have stuck by you." A lot of us know that, we know it well. It’s a great phrase. And it's a quote. What a great quote. I said that to the Taoiseach, Prime Minister Kelly. Said it to him on St. Patrick’s Day. Hosted him at the White House, not the winter White House, not Mar-a-Lago. But my White House in Washington. Great guy! I told him that quote, he loved it. I also told him, we've got to do something about the immigrants, the illegal immigrants. Maybe a travel ban. Ban illegal immigration. Because the Irish are great people, one of the best, but enough is enough. Got to get a handle on the immigrants. On the illegals. And he understood, Enda understood. But the new Prime Minister I haven't met. Haven't met the gay one, Varadkar. I love the gays, totally love them. They're great people, the best. One of the best. You don't see them chopping off people's heads. Not like Kathy Griffin. Disgusting! Maybe I'll see Varadkar at my Turnberry course. Nothing like a round of golf for getting to know a man, I mean really know him. And maybe making a deal or two. There's some great deals we could make. I'm sure DannyB is a great guy. Haven't met him but I have a good feeling about him. I mean, I assume it's good. Love the Irish, need a travel ban, met Enda and he's a great guy, would love to meet the new Taoiseach, Leo, would love to meet DannyB. Love being his President and yours. #TrumpResorts
