My wife and I went to PF Chang's last Wed. (only because we eat for free, since she works at their corp. office). That place was empty. There's often an hour wait to get a table. We walked in and wondered if they were closed. It was depressing. We asked our server how it had been the previous weekend and she said pretty slow. Last night, though, we went to our favorite pizza place and there was a 10 min. wait to get a table. However, the fancy restaurant next to it, which usually has its front valet lot full of exotic cars, didn't even have all the spaces filled, let alone filled with exotic cars.
