How is This Financial Crisis Effecting The Restaurant Biz?

One would assume the financial crisis is not helping most retail businesses let alone restaurants.  In times like this, many people will rarely want to go out for dinner and end up paying 2-3 times more than they would at home.  They will start to cook for themselves and their families, or hopefully learn how to.  While I am sure many of these restaurants are struggling to bring in customers and not raise their own prices, The Kansas City Star has found a couple of restaurants who are figuring out their own ways to survive, and in some cases, thrive during this financial crisis.
