Comment on Gen Z is cooking more and shopping less as they struggle to achieve financial success

  I barely eat at chain restaurants anymore, and the last time I did (at the Keg with a gift card) it was way better than it was 5-10 years ago, presumably because they’ve had to actually compete with good local restaurants nearby to win customers over.

  RIP Chain Restaurants, killing them was the best thing that’s happened to them.

    Yeah some places have gotten better and can be a pretty good deal. I’ll do olive garden and they give you a salad and bread sticks with your entree, do carry out and have 2-3 meals for about $20 depending on what you get. Just have to have the right expectations.

  Domestic beer?! If there is one impressive thing millennials have accomplished so far, it’s putting a brewery in every neighborhood of every major city in the western world. Locally brewed beer has been having a really good couple of decades.

    Domestic is typically classified as beer like Budwiser and Miller. You’re describing craft beer which as you said it’s doing great… For IPAs

      While it’s true that IPAs are most common, there are plenty of choices, especially at this time of year when everyone makes a Marzen, then a pumpkin, then a holiday ale. One of the reasons I like my local brewery is the variety of styles they make

        I know this - my husband is actually a small batch brewer himself - but IPAs very much dominate the market, which is what i was poking fun at

    I don’t know if Millennials get credit for that. The legislation allowing it was signed by Jimmy Carter before these kids were born, and us X’ers did a lot more to get the industry established

  Well we killed chain restaurants… Mainly because nobody can afford to waste our money on microwave crap when we can make better food at home

      What will the lazy boomer authors do now? Won’t someone think of them?

        boomer

        The author of this article, specifically, Chloe Berger, is in her twenties. Maybe early thirties. The youngest Baby Boomers are in their late sixties. They aren’t, generally speaking, working anymore. Pretty soon you’re gonna have to find a new age group to be your boogeyman. I assume it’ll be Gen X.

  If you’d only bought fewer iPhones and avocados you could have bought a 5 bedroom house with 3 garages, a pool and a white picket fence and take a holiday abroad twice a year. You just need more discipline, pull yourself up by the bootstraps*!

  *I am now going to research what bootstraps are.
