Americans have made their voices heard with their stomachs. The second quarter of 2009 showed increasing growth in the number of people eating out. American consumers have increased their purchases in most national chain restaurants. Burger King and Taco Bell are the big winners in fast food while IHOP and Rubio’s lead the way in sit-down dining. So go on, treat yourself to a burger or a pancake this weekend, but be prepared to wait in a line… Our latest infographic is based on the aggregate data from over 1 million Mint.com users, a representative sampling of US consumers.
