☆ Grocery prices are finally falling
  + stars: | 2024-05-15 | by ( Danielle Wiener-Bronner | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
New York CNN —Food shoppers can finally breathe a slight sigh of relief: After years of increases followed by months of plateau, grocery prices fell last month. Grocery prices retreated 0.2% from March to April, adjusted for seasonal swings, according to inflation data released Wednesday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. But back in February, overall food prices remained flat for the first time since April 2023. Fast food prices jumpWhile grocery prices have been moderating, menu prices remain high, especially at fast food spots. At sit-down restaurants, prices went up 3.4%, while at limited-service restaurants — where you’re served at the counter — prices rose 4.8%.

For them, and the fast food chains they’re now competing against, the stakes are high. “Fast food has gotten really expensive,” Henkes said. On X, Chili’s asked whether Chili’s is better than fast food, and promised rewards to those who said yes. Chili’s also ran video ads comparing its food favorably to fast food burgers. “People go to sit-down restaurants, generally speaking, for different occasions, than they go to fast food restaurants,” he noted.

☆ Say goodbye to Ruby Tuesday and Chili’s. These are the hot new restaurants at the mall
  + stars: | 2024-04-28 | by ( Nathaniel Meyersohn | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
As anchor department stores left malls, so did some name-brand chains like Ruby Tuesday, Chili’s, Applebee’s and others. What’s taking their place illustrates a large shift in US tastes: There’s a boom in smaller and regional restaurant chains with a local following. At the same time, many national chains are prioritizing drive-thru locations over their sit-down restaurants in malls. Chick-fil-A restaurants were only located in mall food courts for the company’s first 20 years. “Traditional mall restaurants were casual dining chains like Chili’s, TGI Fridays, and quick-service restaurants in food courts.

☆ Chili for the Championship
  + stars: | 2024-02-11 | by ( Sam Sifton | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Many will make chili (above) today, one of the great foods of National Football League cuisine, up there with wings and nachos. Ali Slagle’s recipe is top-drawer: deep in flavor, spice and smokiness, and fairly easy to prepare. Make it with whatever meat you like — so long as it’s decently fatty, to bring out the taste of the aromatics. Chili’s a good way to guarantee a win during the Super Bowl, whichever team you’re rooting for. Bryan laughed when I said that and told me it was just fine to substitute a commercial browning sauce instead — something like Kitchen Bouquet, available in most grocery stores.

☆ This iconic jingle is making a comeback, and you won’t be able to get it out of your head
  + stars: | 2023-11-14 | by ( Jordan Valinsky | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
The jingle, last used in the mid-2000s, became an earworm for anyone watching TV during the ’90s when it seemingly blanketed the airwaves nonstop. Chili’s is hoping that nostalgia will draw renewed interest in the restaurant chain that’s in the midst of a turnaround. The new TV ad, featuring Boyz II Men singing a modernized version of the jingle, will also be promoted on social media this month. “It feels natural for us to rerelease the ‘Baby Back Ribs’ jingle and pay homage to Chili’s legendary menu item in a nostalgic way,” the group said in a release. The latest version is the “biggest rerelease of Chili’s iconic earworm yet and doesn’t stray too far from the original version,” the chain said.

☆ ‘Sorry’ for Being So Blunt

Images: Disney/Shutterstock/Bloomberg News/Getty Images for CAA Composite: Mark KellyWhat a luxury anonymity is. Yes, the fervent hordes clattering around TikTok and reality TV attest that many still prize celebrity, influence and their attendant financial promise. Consider Emily Blunt , a movie star who recently prostrated herself after being savaged online for fat-shaming. Describing a woman who served her at Chili’s as “enormous.” Ms. Blunt unleashed the epithet more than a decade ago on “The Jonathan Ross Show,” a U.K. television program where she was appearing to flog her latest film. Mr. Ross, who like Ms. Blunt is British, was whooping it up with his guest about lavish food portions in the New World, joking that “you can see why so many of our American friends are enormous.” Ms. Blunt joined in with her account of the meal at Chili’s—“the girl that was serving me was enormous”—without specifying which outpost in the nationwide chain she patronized.

☆ Fed officials are divided, but holding rates steady in September seems likely

Washington, DC CNN —Federal Reserve officials meet next month to determine whether to raise interest rates for the 12th time to cool the economy or hold them steady. Some officials think the Fed has already raised its benchmark lending rate enough to curb inflation, but others think it’s too soon to tap the brakes. Philadelphia Fed President Patrick Harker echoed that sentiment in a speech last week, saying “I believe we may be at the point where we can be patient and hold rates steady.”Other Fed officials agree. “Inflation is still significantly above” the Fed’s 2% target, Fed governor Michelle Bowman said last week at an event in Atlanta. The Federal Reserve releases minutes from its July policymaking meeting as well as July figures on industrial production.

Leann Emmert and Katrina Elder, who work in the film industry, used to spend weekends checking out the newest Los Angeles restaurants. The couple has been largely sticking to a neighborhood restaurant with consistently good food and that everybody-knows-your-name feeling. “Great food in the absence of hospitality is not a great value,” he said. He told managers to hire workers to bus tables, a task that in recent years had fallen largely on servers. He simplified both the tablets that servers use to take orders and the way some dishes are prepared and plated.
☆ How Chili’s Is Prepping for Tough Times, Starting With the Fries
  + stars: | 2023-03-04 | by ( Heather Haddon | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
When Kevin Hochman became CEO last June of the company that owns Chili’s Bar & Grill, amid a labor shortage and escalating costs, he started looking for bottlenecks in the kitchen. There, he learned about Chili’s french-fry problem. Fries were delivered in their own metal baskets, driving cooks and dishwashers crazy. They had to be lined with paper before each serving and cleaned afterward, some 40 million times a year. In short order, Mr. Hochman scrapped the baskets for fries, advancing his grand ambitions for the Southwest-style restaurant chain: improve service and boost profits.

☆ Restaurant sales are going up. But dining out is on the decline

Restaurant traffic is dipping as consumers make food at home. In that month, traffic at fast food restaurants fell 1.2%, dipped 1.7% for fast casual and dropped 4.7% in full service eateries. Fast food traffic bounced back slightly in September and October, but fast casual and full service traffic remained negative. Restaurant prices increased by 8.6%. But groceries are generally cheaper than restaurant meals.
☆ Robots? Some Companies Find Only Humans Can Do the Job

Others have ground to a halt, sending companies back to technology that is less sci-fi, but can be deployed more quickly and cost-effectively. Some companies are satisfied their robots are doing the job. The perils of the outdoors are a big problem for delivery robots, in particular. Some people have also raised concerns that delivery robots could block wheelchair access on sidewalks or otherwise get in the way of humans, leading local authorities to limit or prohibit their use. Toronto, for example, last December banned delivery robots.
