Super-sized restaurant furniture

As restauranteurs gathered in Chicago for the National Restaurant Associaton conference, one topic up for discussion was larger furniture for their restaurants; not just to hold larger portions, but for the larger customers those portions have produced. For one, Chili's Grill & Bar has noticed that some of their customers are finding their tables constricting and are looking at larger configurations. One chair manufacturer said his company is rethinking size -- as in making products bigger -- because customers are bigger. "Let's face it, America has an obesity problem," said Jerry Falk of Foldcraft Co. of Minnesota. [Dallas News] {Thanks Chris}
