Liberals eat at P.F. Chang's and conservatives eat at Bob Evans

What’s one telltale sign that your community is changing its political alignment? Look no further than what kind of restaurants are moving in — or out. That’s because a lot can be gleaned from one’s political alignment based on where they spend their dining dollars.

For example, if you’re conservative, you’re much more likely to pull into a Bob Evans or Cracker Barrel parking lot, while the liberals are going to cruise on in to a Buffalo Wild Wings or P.F. Chang’s.
