And this is interesting, too, because if you're going out, if you're meeting someone, you kind of need to know if it's a fine dining establishment or casual dining, because that will determine what you wear, how much you're planning to spend, right?

There is a lot that's different between these two experiences.

Exactly.

Yes, exactly.

All right.

Let's dive into this.

We're going to talk about casual dining first.

So this is more relaxed.

It has an informal atmosphere, a casual dress code, right?

You can definitely wear jeans and a T-shirt to anywhere that is considered casual dining.

So true.

And this is faster service, but it's not considered fast food.

That is different, right?

Fast food usually has a drive through like McDonald's, Burger King, that's fast food.

Casual dining is more, we'll often say fast casual.

And that's usually where you go up to the register, order your food, and then you go sit down, maybe they'll bring it to you or call your number.

But it is quicker than fine dining for sure.

But step up from fast food.

So I'm thinking of like Chipotle is a good example.

You know, there are these restaurants where I wouldn't call it fast food.
