Cultural Differences Of Ethnic Restaurants In America

In an article written by Amy S. Choi entitled, “What Americans can Learn From Other Food Cultures,” Choi discusses food in ways that pertain to ones culture. Today, our younger generation has become less thankful for simple, traditional foods and more wanting of foods prepared in less traditional ways, almost as if, “the more outlandish the better.” Choi mentioned in her article that, “those slightly younger have been the beneficiaries of the restaurant culture exploding in Shanghai” (Choi, Amy. “What Americans Can Learn From Other Food Cultures.” Ideastedcom. 18 Dec. 2014. Web. 17 June 2015) being from America I agree with her statement. Food in many cultures has become a status symbol; I believe that dining in expensive restaurants that serve

Again, the local pubs and restaurants help enhance people experiences of the different foods, and may even encourage some people to want to travel or be inspired to research a different culture or Ethnic group. I think people are accepting of what each group can offer the other. There is a realisation that each

In “Why everyone should stop calling immigrant food ‘ethnic’” the writer, Lavanya Ramanathan writes that referring to these foods as “ethnic” makes them appear to be more foreign than they are. Ramanathan states that describing the cuisine from foreign countries as “ethnic” seems to only apply to those “countries whose people have the brownest skin.” She goes on to say that she has observed that true “ethnic” cuisine is often looked down upon and considered low while “fusion cuisine”, combinations of American and an “ethnic” country’s food is seen as haute cuisine. Ramanathan tells that a NYU professor has discovered than people won’t pay more than $30 for ethnic cuisine. She also says that using “ethnic” signifies an air of inferiority when used and that while Asian and African countries get referred to as ethnic, European cuisine gets a pass from the Americans.

We have Spanish, French, German, Scot/Irish, and African. We have been called the melting pot of the world by the history books. With all of those different cultures, there coms their heritage and cuisine. All over the United States there are different family owned restaurants. They all have a different styles of cooking. Those styles spread all over the nation and into other households. My family does a lot of Italian cooking and Irish cooking because that is where our decedents are from. My dad is a very god cook and makes a lot of fancy dishes. My mom makes a lot of pasta because her mom taught her all about it. America is very diverse when it comes to food and that is good because there is always something new to

While examining a culture, most people would typically think of the language, religion, style of dress, and customs of that particular group, but some people fail to realize the importance of that culture’s food. During the late 1800s and early-mid 1900s, many various ethnic and cultural groups immigrated to the United States and brought with them their cuisine. In the novel Hungering for America: Italian, Irish, and Jewish Foodways in the Age of Migration by Hasia R. Diner, the ways of which American culture has shaped the food culture of immigrants in the US and how their foods influenced American cuisine. There were two prominent groups—Italians and Irish—that immigrated to the US that were either greatly influenced and/or influenced by

When it comes to dining-in at a restaurant we all want the best service that we can get. When I think of “the best service” I think about the cleanliness, nice waitresses, good food, and affordable prices. There are so many different options when a family thinks about going out to eat, especially if they have small children. It’s often hard to go to a nice dine-in restaurant because sometimes it’s hard to find something on the menu for everyone in the family. I have experienced many things at two completely different restaurants. I can say Demos’ is better than Logan’s because the food and service is much better.

So with the introduction of a foreign symbol into a host country like a new McDonald’s restaurant, the impact is not so dramatic and the host country does not fully take in the American culture but shapes it in a way to suit their lifestyle and tastes. For example, the food and names of the food at McDonald’s in Tokyo is slightly different to those in America. In India, it serves lamb burgers and in Germany beer is available. This shows that the American formula was not as international as had been hoped, and local cultural practices had to be acknowledged.

The article describes an African American restaurant whose owner has enjoyed a period of success from the time of its inception. An analysis of photographs in the restaurant shows the owner with a waitress costume with tables full of young African Americans. The environment presented by the pictures shows unity that existed among African Americans. The blacks centered their unity on their heritage as Africans, slaves, sharecroppers, and industrial workers. Equally, they struggled to earn respect and recognition within the community. Necessities such as food were a struggle for these groups of people. Therefore, food stores such as the African American restaurant, grocery stores, and butcher shops became necessary for these groups and slowly

Previous studies on food culture and inequality have reflected the underlying common theme that food culture can be perceived as a category to create and reinforce social classification and group boundaries. The establishment of social classification and reinforcement of group boundaries aggravates inequalities within a society.

The purpose of this project is to compare the lunch menu in two different regions to see if they follow current nutritional guidelines and how they can be improved. We will also look at potential regional differences that may make following the guidelines more challenging as well as other potential barriers we may encounter.

France is a nation known for its food, and fast food restaurants like McDonald's are slowly killing French dishes by luring customers away from previously successful establishments. Restaurants are forced to lower the quality of their in order to have even a small chance of being able to compete with the affordability of franchises like McDonald's, and by lowering their quality, they are losing their essential customer base: tourists. In addition to this, McDonald's has also been putting several French cattle farmers out of business, along with crippling the tourism industry in the area. Overall, the globalization of fast food has homogenized peoples across the world under the guise of a beneficial addition to any town. Fast food chains have been controlling the way cities grow and look, all while gradually annihilating all foods that were once vital to a people, and ultimately, their competitors. If the globalization of fast food is not stopped, then food, as a unique and diverse indicator of cultural identity, may be

Culture is a big thing here in the United States, it’s what defines a person. Having cultures from other countries is a huge advantage to the country, knowing different religions, foods, teachings, history is beneficial to the country. It benefits the country because it’s something different, and different is not always bad; it’s a new way to learn and fix the mistakes. Hiffingpos.com says “Across the board, be it Korean, Ethiopian, or Armenian food, most traditional cuisines emphasize a diet of whole grains, many vegetables, and good fats. As Pollan affirms, there is a very low incidence of ‘first world’ diseases like diabetes and heart disease among people eating traditional diets. As a society, we are greatly informed by the presence of immigrant communities that bring their traditional cuisines to this country. There is much that we have learned and much more that we must continue to learn from immigrants regarding our diets.” Every time you go to New York especially in the suburbs you will see food stands on the sidewalk. Many of those food stands are Hispanics: Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, and Mexicans. Those small businesses are

On November 6, I went to Chinatown and I had my dinner at there. All the way down to the South, after I passed lakeshore drive and downtown, I arrived Chinatown. Usually I go to Chinatown once a week because I am from China and thus I really like Chinese food. First, I went to Little Lamb Hot Pot to have my dinner. After the dinner, I went to the food market to buy some food supplies and cooking materials. In my opinion, the impact of globalization in Chicago’s Chinatown can be reflected in food, commodity, and culture.

What are factors influence to customer purchase behavioral? How is good management system impact to employee performance delivery high quality service?

The paper presents an analysis of the different factors influencing the restaurant industry and how these factors increase or decrease the demand for such services. The hypothesis that will be examined is that the performance of restaurants is mostly based on the type of food chosen by customers when they decide to go out for dinner, lunch, breakfast, or simply for a snack. What type of food refers mainly the nationality or concept of the food, (traditional American, Italian, Indian, Latin, or from any other type of culture). This factor is important because when customers go out to for dinner; they decide what to eat before deciding where to eat. That is why this factor is considerably important according to the hypothesis.
