II.Characteristics of Employees As far as employees are concerned, the waitress was very friendly and knowledgable about the food,the art work, and familiar with the distinction between Eastern and Central European cuisine. The hispanic Bar Back and the hispanic Busboy were very friendly to me. The Bartender was very knowledgable about the Beverages at the bar. However he did not take credit for being the mixologist or beverage specialist, but was quite humble. He gave appropriate credit to Danny Bautista the official Beverage Manager for the Bohemian House. My classmate Cassandra Solomon felt that the bartender and the owner of the restaurant had the characteristics of European decent, but I couldn't exactly pinpoint where they were from. Cassandra states, furthermore, “the waitress who served me was a Caucasian woman approximately between the ages of 25-30 years old.” “She told me that she just works at the Bohemian House, and she is not Bohemian.” “She was courteous.” EEE *** Analyze the menu. How did team member’s reactions differ? From the launch of introduction to Kolackys and the love that I have developed for Kolacky, began back in the late 1970’s. Researching the Bohemian culture is a dream come true for me, as I further discover Eastern European food. My polish, german and jewish older co-workers really empowered me with culinary cultural epicurean diversity of the Bohemian culture. Dining at the Bohemian House is a dream come true. As we enter

Walls and shelves of different treats, and Buc-ee’s even presents its own brand of Beaver Nuggets - a sweet, crunchy corn snack. And in each store, a counter the size of a small New York City apartment is overly stocked with 30 flavors beef jerky, smoked sausages and other cured meats. When standing in that area, you can smell the Bohemian garlic beef jerky, which had a pleasant salty pungency, and the cherry maple, which is a lot more subtly sweet than it sounds. Next to that, there’s a quick-service restaurant, prepping many dishes, ranging from smoked brisket to Tex-Mex tacos. Looking at the options of spicy pickled quail eggs to sweet apple pies, the food provided at Buc-ee’s is more than enough to eat for a small break on the road. The varieties and large portions of food seemed to have a meaning beyond consumption itself. As people carry to go boxes and not even open or taste some of the food during their stop, the food loses its meaning of being eaten and gains a meaning of being a souvenir. The cultural food alone provokes customers to want to keep these seemingly authentic, home cooked items, perhaps to share or give to others as novelties and gifts. With that, Buc-ee’s intends to provide more than necessary.
When I first walk into the restaurant, Im alway immeditaly greeted by a smiling hostess. Typically on a week day, the wait time is normally very short and youre almosy guaranteed a seat right after arriving. However on a weekend the wait time can be a bit longer, such as fifteen to twenty minutrs, but outdoor seating is provided so you dont have to stand and wait. When you are finally seated, a friendly waiter is always ready to happily serve you with a smile. The employees are always on top of giving out refills for drinks and they provide customers with all you can eat peanuts and encourage you to just toss the shells on the floor when youre done. When receiveing your meal, the waiters always make sure that everything looks good before leaving you to dig in. I have never recieved unacceptabke service even when the restaurant is at its
When I arrived to the restaurant I immediately noticed several social norms that everyone at the establishment was following. The customers and the staff were well dressed, and everyone was conducting himself or

I work at one hundred and one Cantina right here in Tallahassee’s very own college town. I have worked at Cantina for a bit over a 12 months now and have labored in the kitchen as an expediter and currently work in the back of the bar as a bar back; as a result, I am quite acquainted with how things are run each within the kitchen and at the back of the bar. Cantina is a Tex-Mex motivated bar and restaurant that serves a variety of typical Mexican and Americanized dishes and drinks (e.G. Chimichangas, fajita flatbreads, and margaritas). A style of foods and drinks specials are furnished for the duration of the week. The character of Cantina (from the décor to the temper) provides the sensation of a night out in Mexico that makes it
Because of passion with cooking and dream to be a chef, I have read a lot of cookbooks, regional culinary books and books about famous chefs, some of them are interesting but none of them was attracted to me the most. Normally, I just found some my favorite recipes in such books. However, “Letters to a young chef”, a book contains a collection of letters which Chef Daniel Boulud wrote to Alex Lee whom worked alongside Daniel for ten years as a passionate young cook, truly brings me desire to make my dream come true as much as help me to broaden my knowledge about culinary arts.
I chose to research this subculture because I was so curious about it. I have some friends that wait tables, but I hadn’t really thought about how being a waitress involves so many things aside from serving food. Waitressing is more about handling all different types of people, and learning to multitask successfully than just serving food. When I go out to eat, I usually only notice if the waitress or waiter is nice to me and my party. I make sure that all of the food and drinks come out the way we ordered them, and I also pay attention to how the food tastes. When I started my research and observation for this ethnography, I started to pay more attention the server when I was eating at restaurants. I started to notice how many tables the server waited on, I noticed how many times he or she had to take food back to the kitchen because someone thought it was wrong or not cooked right, and I also noticed how unhappy he or she was when they left a certain table. I have also
Adam and his wife are very resectful guests. Only they came in, they took off their shoes. I never had guest from Chech Republic yet but this couple seems fully represent their culture. They stayed only two days, were most of the day outside, get to the bed early, and stayed very quiet. Overally good experience. And they are welcome back to our place any time!
The book was more propaganda than reality, but it still contains a unique perspective on how everyone viewed food in the Soviet Union for the simple fact that if anyone wanted to be considered culturally enlightened their culinary ideology had to align with that of the book.20 The Book of Tasty and Healthy Food gave a narrative version of the feast everyone thought they would be experiencing when in fact they were still
They expect me to be patient, clear with orders, not demanding, and aware of what is going on. I must know what food they just told me was done and where to take it, but first I need to pay attention to hear when my name is called. There is usually more tension between the kitchen and waiters than there is with any other workers. The roles are so different. The kitchen staff usually looks at servers as just wanting to get a good tip, and that we do not care the extremities the kitchen has to go to for us. It is important that servers respect the kitchen staff; they are in charge of the food we will be serving. “Servers, as mediators, need their food when their customers demand it: sometimes this is before the food is ready; at other times after. If servers demand food too early, cooks are stressed; but if they don’t pick up the food on time, the food is poor and the cook seems incompetent.” (Fine 105). This is the most true on Friday and Saturday nights. Everything seems to be more chaotic on these nights, since most people decide to go out. This is good because it brings in more business for the restaurant, but then there are always more unhappy customers on these nights as well. Overall, positive interaction with the kitchen staff can make amazing things happen.
I loved every minute of it. The atmosphere was so electrifying, always buzzing with all varieties of music playing; jazz, soul, R & B, blues, old school, slow jams. Furthermore, being a people person, whom loves meeting people from all over the world. Met a few old friends from my high school; that I had not seen in over ten years, it is a small world. Eventually, one will see again in a life span. My bartending experience was a fabulous job. The tips made were my daughter Sandra’s allowance, subsequently never touching my paycheck to pay bills or allowances. The admiration, camaraderie, loyalty, and the respect my co-workers had for each other was like a well-knit family, always having each other’s back, no matter the crisis was the team- work that made any situation resolvable. If someone had an issue that needed to be handled, the co-workers would get together to figure out the solution

The restaurant also offers great service and has a variety of different kinds of food, which you can decide on. The guests are
My first impression of the staff and cabin crew was that they were exceptionally polite and friendly. They showed good behaviour that was respectful and considerate to everyone, helping the elderly board the flight, showing them their seats and offering any kind of help that was required to make the passenger feel comfortable. Although the cabin crew can get annoyed with some rude and impolite passengers, they do their best to keep a smile on their face. They’re body language was very good, they showed good posture and notable eye contact. Their uniform was smart and sophisticated. Also to add, they used clear and confident hand gestures to signal where all the facilities were, such as: toilets, oxygen masks, blankets and how the TV screen operates etc…
