Americans are flocking to restaurants this Thanksgiving

Record high food prices and key shortages are prompting people to opt out of home-cooked Thanksgiving food, with 45% of Americans planning to order their Thanksgiving meals from restaurants. This comes as the cost of food away from home increased 5.8% this year over 2021, versus 9.8% for a standard grocery trip. The trend is good news for restaurants looking to recoup losses from the pandemic.
