Depression Foods and Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips
John C. Dvorak discusses "depression foods," noting that macaroni and cheese gained popularity in the 1930s as a cheap meal. He reminisces about the 1970s fad of fish and chip franchises like Arthur Treacher's and H. Salt, which have since largely disappeared. Dvorak attributes the decline of these shops to the "anti-fat movement" of the 1980s rather than a lack of product quality.
