that's it. .

a typical bubble retirees menu:
cheap,
nothing fancy or out of the ordinary,
beef, chicken, pasta, maybe a fish, but that's a specialty item and spotty demand
plus mac and cheese for the 65+ y/o kids
love the 1/2 off beer/wine prices.

when people ask for a good restaurant, why are the most suggestions outside the bubble?
When we all went out to eat at our pre villages home, retirees on a fixed income was probably 10 to 15% of the population the restaurant had to cater to.
There were families with young kids, single people, couples working with busy kids, etc.
Here, 90-95% of the the customers are retirees on a fixed income. Restuarants dont have the luxury of a broad mix of customers. So the restaurants will all be similar.
