It's not that they go out of business because people don't go there, it's that the markup is so high on alcohol, that's where the majority of the profits are. No profits means you're out of business. Same as the dealerships, they don't make money on selling cars, they make it in service. Many restaurant business models involve selling alcohol.

HAHA. from someone that has started all of just 10 posts in the last 11 years. Maybe post some "quality" posts here and class up the joint for the rest of us.
It's the all-to-common, "I'm just a poor, victimized hillbilly who can't know about anything..." speech.
It's a variant of the 'position' of those who neglect their cars. They all know everybody is a liar and out to harpoon them.
We go to good BYOB restaurants and avoid so called "fine" restaurants. We've learned to assess them.
There's real value and phony, starched shirts out there. Go where you get real value. Don't play the wounded, confused puppy all your life.
Have at least that much brains, involvement and class.
Do I have to donn my flame suit?

You really sound like a bully right now.
The owner kind of frowned on the staff eating steak or shrimp but was ok with a burger and hand cut fries.
This thread hardly counts as a “quality” post. It has a just below trolling feel to it. Asking a deliberately obtuse question designed to elicit strong response.
This bitog. There are a couple of those posted here every day. Guess because it's in the food section it stands out more. A few in just one other section:

Most wine lovers, those who enjoy a meal with it, understand and don’t mind the mark-up. It’s called Wine and Dine.
For the others, there is White Zinfandel

Was meant to be humorous as he only creates a single post per year. If you make many like I do, not all of them are going to be liked.
Agreed, a glass of wine at a good steakhouse is a perfect combination.Most wine lovers, those who enjoy a meal with it, understand and don’t mind the mark-up. It’s called Wine and Dine.

If I didn't already have 40K+ posts, I would have said quality over quantity.

Come on guys, we are all at least adolescent here, be nice to each other. There's trolling and there's insult. We can argue with respect and troll with humor.
At the fish market in DC, you can buy all kinds of fish and seafood, then take it to some restaurants around the corner that will clean, prepare and cook it as you want. Yes unusual, but not unheard of.
Some would not mind, they may subtract their own raw material cost for the meal though, so your $60 steak is now $55 with BYO steak. You also better buy something better than theirs or their chef will laugh at you, and if something is wrong with that steak you cannot send it back to the kitchen because "it is your steak, not the cooking".
Typically this only happens if you go to a fisherman's wharf restaurant and you want to cook your fresh catch, not next to a Safeway for you to bring your grocery purchase.
So, if you fall sick after eating, who gets the blame: the chef who cleaned and cooked it or you for bringing bad product?
