Last night at about 7 p.m. I was picking up dinner at one of my favorite sub places and commented to the guy behind the counter that his take-out business seemed to be hopping. He agreed, but said if I wanted to see it really busy, I should stop back at about 8 p.m.
"Wow," I said, surprised. "People really eat that late?"
He told me that his theory, developed after decades in the restaurant business, is that when it stays light for so long, and there are so many outdoor chores to be done, people don't realize that it's dinnertime until much later than usual.
