| Throughout all of my past blog and essays, topics that further interested me include the Celebrity Chef Bibliography, the Favorite food out of the tasting day blog, and the Food Preparation Essay. The Celebrity Chef Bibliography allowed the use of the Food Network ,which provided an easier access and more motivation for my selection of Celebrity Chefs. From witnessing multiple competition and tutorial shows, the preference of celebrity chef gave me an inclination of essay topics as well as have prior information given forth by the shows the chef starred and hosted in. The prior background within such shows, Restaurant Impossible and Chopped, interested me more within the topic. Within the favorite food blog, much attentiveness to the taster’s preference of food seemed ideal and describing a favorite food contained detail referencing to the first taste and emphasizing the worth for myself. This blog brought into the class much diversity and information to a college students favorite food. The Food Preparation Essay enlightened my perspective of servers. As with the multiple research required for this essay, much information of certain aspects of restaurants became visible. This essay contained much about a server’s role in society. As a server within a restaurant myself, this topic brought forth much interest and curiosity for the research referencing a server’s role in society. These past blogs and essays interested me for it’s relation to prior information regarding food. |

Research Day
Using the Martin Luther King Library to locate three sources of evidence: a chapter from a book, a magazine article, and a newspaper article, I expect to use the articles and databases as a valuable resource. I expect to find topics from each of the sources of evidence by narrowing my search using Eric via Ebsco and various other databases. The research expected to find in a chapter, consists of information of past job employment of servers, within the current or past magazine articles I expect to find point of views from servers (interviews), and a newspaper article, of any past or present social issues concerning servers in restaurants.

Tasting Day!

|
Tuesdays’s tasting day left a lot to be desired. The different samples of the class’s favorite food revealed much about the student’s choice of food, specifically a generalization of a college student’s favorite food. My Favorite food from the tasting would be the Mozzarella, Ricotta, Chicken, Marinera Sauce, Bacon and Pineapple Pizza from Pieology. Pieology Pizzeria recently opened their first store in San Jose and had originated from Fullerton. Pieology offers customers choices to build upon their own pizza similarly to Chipotle, with their build your own, custom foods. The Pizza brought in, contained a thin and crunchy crust with Mozzarella cheese and slightly sweet Marinera Sauce as the base of the pizza, and with it topped of Ricotta cheese, chicken, bacon and pineapple. The Pineapple brings forth a refreshing and tangy taste as the chicken and bacon provide the savory element. The unmelted Ricotta Cheese crumbled on top takes the Mozzarella cheese from the base and adds another dimension as with the different tastes of cheese upon different layers of the pizza. Pieology requires much wise decisions regarding the selections of toppings, but when implemented well, one can create a unique and custom pizza.

“Chop, Fry, Boil” Group Anaylsis
Homemade meals using Bitmann’s three recipes of Chop, Fry, Boil prove to be healthier, cheaper, environmentally friendlier, and more practical than conventional food. According to the article, the common American spends most of their time observing others cook, when they could be doing the cooking themselves. Bitmann further compares fast food and fresh food prices, to show that fresh foods are more affordable.
