Previously, I had asked about how restaurants changed since decades past, the 80s, 90s, 2000s and 2010s. There's been reports of specific restaurants and types of restaurants that have fallen apart, become corporatist, lost sight of genuine food and service and so on. And reports of those crushing it or at the very least grinding away as they have done for decades.
I was wondering more about the latter. In the US, which specific restaurants have been doing as well or better than they've been in the 80s, 90s and 2010s? Same for specific restaurant chains, cuisines and scenes. Italian, Pizza, New American, BBQ, Seafood, Classic Burger Joints own and run by elderly workers, Steakhouses, Chinese, Japanese, Indian and Mid Eastern.
