Arizona Restaurant Week reveals economy’s effects
May 6
Arizona Restaurant Week is May 16- May 25, when dozens of local restaurants offer price-fixed menus so people can come in and dine locally. It comes at a critical time for local restaurants.
According to Steve Chucri, president of the Arizona Restaurant Association, restaurants are feeling the effects of a tight economy. Restaurants have been slow for about five months as many people don’t have the disposable income to dine out. Also, the high cost of food is driving up the menu costs and consumers are unable to afford to eat out as often.
