Amusing piece of satire that made me laugh: http://www.mandatory.com/2013/02/21/going-out-to-eat-before-after-the-in...
I think this leads to a more interesting discussion though; how has the advent of the internet (especially social media) changed how you dine out, both good and bad? For example, as a chef, I have a real love/hate relationship with Yelp (or other social review sites), but I'll still use it to track down "good" ethnic food in a new city.
One thing that I've noticed as a chef is that a lot of people seem to constantly be on their phones throughout dinner. I use to be guilty of this as well, but recently I made the decision to trade in my iPhone for a very basic flip. It was tough at first, but living in such a connected world, I realized that there were some experiences that I just wanted to live now, with my family.
What say you?
