At this point of our lives, we are willing to spend the money for food that we enjoy. We enjoy wine with our dinner. While we buy better coffee/tea for home, we don’t go to the Starbucks of the world. When we dine out we prefer the nicer restaurants. With all of that, we spend about a third of the Popmenu number. My guess is this number is based on NYC or similar cities.
