For myself, I've been going to 2-4 each year and plan to do the same again.
I think that there are a number of factors that will lead to lower Dine Out sales this year. The economy is one, the other is that Dine Out has really gone off track from its purpose. It originally featured great restaurants offering creative menus at decent prices. Now Dine Out is flooded with mediocre restaurants offering regular menu items at near normal pricing.

BTW by Dine Out sales, I mean by sales figures, not just implied attendance from how busy the restaurants seem.
