The First International House Of Pancakes Restaurant

Founded in 2011 off the aspirations of a young Nikki Evans, Mr. and Mrs.Evans opened their family, locally owned coffee shop, Forty Weight. The Evans family started their family owned business with the hope to build a friendly, christian based shop that is open to the public and private parties. Over the last two days I have visited Forty Weight during a variety of different times (Friday 8:00am, Saturday 10:00am and Saturday 2:00pm) to observe the type of environment and the type of people that are the “coffee drinkers at Forty

In Jessica Harris’s “The Culinary Season of my Childhood” she peels away at the layers of how food and a food based atmosphere affected her life in a positive way. Food to her represented an extension of culture along with gatherings of family which built the basis for her cultural identity throughout her life. Harris shares various anecdotes that exemplify how certain memories regarding food as well as the varied characteristics of her cultures’ cuisine left a lasting imprint on how she began to view food and continued to proceeding forward. she stats “My family, like many others long separated from the south, raised me in ways that continued their eating traditions, so now I can head south and sop biscuits in gravy, suck chewy bits of fat from a pigs foot spattered with hot sauce, and yes’m and no’m with the best of ‘em,.” (Pg. 109 Para). Similarly, since I am Jamaican, food remains something that holds high importance in my life due to how my family prepared, flavored, and built a food-based atmosphere. They extended the same traditions from their country of origin within the new society they were thrusted into. The impact of food and how it has factors to comfort, heal, and bring people together holds high relevance in how my self-identity was shaped regarding food.

In her essay “The Burrito, a Brief History”, Angela Morales appreciates and rejoices over the memories she had when enjoying a delicious burrito. In a humorous, colorful, and vivid manner, Morales is able to capture the reader's attention by describing instances where she has eaten a burrito with her family, a well know dish among her culture.

From Morales perspective we see that a simple well made burrito not only represents part of her culture but it symbolizes the unity that has kept her family

“The Itis” restaurant, brought to life by Aaron McGruder, is not only a restaurant that people would love to actually have, but also one that brought along some negative aspects. A new restaurant opens up and everybody decides to give it a try. On the inside a lounge singer and instead of tables, beds. Immediately after enjoying a meal one could fall asleep without having to go home. This sleepy feeling a person gets is sometimes referred to as “the itis.” After consuming Sunday dinner and before coming down with “the itis”, which is the “tired feeling” you get after eating a big meal (some say it is all in the mind), Ed Wuncler proposes the idea of Granddad having his own restaurant since the healthy food place Wuncler owns now isn’t

In The Culinary Seasons of my Childhood, Jessica B. Harris- the author- attempts to help readers understand the relationship between food and identity. Harris gave a detailed, but relevant, description of how how food portrayed different cultures in her life and how it taught her many lessons about her family history and who she is; she also described how food brings people together as one and creates a connection that nothing else can. The author helps readers initially understand her ideas by showing examples of how food, even in the same culture, can reflect different social classes.“ Even though chitterlings might be on the menu, they could equally likely be accompanied by a mason jar of corn liquor or a crystal goblet of champagne”( Harris

“The Magic of a Family Meal” by Nancy Gibbs is an enlightening article that convinces the audience that enjoying the company of family during meal time benefits all members emotionally, spiritually, and health wise. Gibbs main point states, “This [the family meal] is where the tribe comes to transmit wisdom, embed expectations, confess, conspire, forgive, repair” (209). Families gathering for meals have the unique opportunity to become closer and favorably impact one another. This thesis enhances the tone overall. The tone of this essay is construed as encouraging and positive. Gibbs’ attitude is

In today's extremely competitive business environment, there are numerous fast food outlets. But when it comes to fast food, we cannot forget to mention In-N-Out Burger, Inc. It is a private and family owned company. Harry Snyder and Esther Snyder started the brand in 1948. Headquarter is located in Irvine, California. They opened their first drive-thru restaurant on Francisquito Ave. and Garvey Ave. in Baldwin Park, California (www.in-n-out.com). Three years later, in 1951, Harry and Esther opened their second restaurant, and then they started accumulating profits for reinvestment and step-by-step growing. In 1976, Harry Snyder passed away because of lung cancer. During that time, there were only 18 units opened. Then,

Many of the restaurant founders did not even have a high education, they all dropped out of school at an early age. Carl N. Karcher was a farmer, but then later his uncle offered him a job in Anaheim, where his whole life had changed completely. He was the first person who changed the fast food industry. Later, came along the McDonald's brothers whom came across with a system called Speedeeserve, which meant that any employer can work different jobs rather than each individual person have the same exact position.

Chick fil A is a unique company and is clearly different from most fast-food restaurants; employees are kind, helpful and maintain a clean environment no matter where they located. As stated previously Chick-fil- A’s corporate purpose is constructive in addition it emphasizes their culture “To glorify god by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil- A.” (cite) This statement truly shows how the company’s leadership has created a culture where service is just as important as profit. The emphasis of this section of the paper will be to research while also analyzing how Chick-fil-A makes people a priority and how doing things in an uncommon way has certainly helped Chick-fil-A create a strong culture as well as a successful business.

Kroc gave McDonald’s to people willing to allot great amount of time and effort in the McDonald’s name. His idea turned out to be affluent as many ideas were created because of this caring franchisees. The Filet-O-Fish (originally intended for Catholics during lent), Big Mac (in celebration to its fifth billion burger sold), Egg McMuffin (wanted to cater to breakfast lovers) ,Quarter Pounder, and McFlurry were all introduced by franchisees and all reaped prosperous benefits. In 1956 Kroc hired Harry Sonneborn, a former vice president of finances at ‘Tastee Freeze”. Harry quickly rose among the ranks at McDonald’s Corp. and even became the very first president and chief executive. A couple months later Sonneborn pitch the idea that McDonald’s hould own the buildings of the franchise and make franchisees pay rent.

Now of course Chaniqua went into the George from the mouse that he ate and is now inside of George until he dies and something eats him.

. I kept assuming he would understand what that meant, but on the third mealtime interruption, when I was clearly annoyed, the kid say, “You guys are doing this again?” I don’t mean to imply that there is hot, fresh food waiting for my husband and children at six o’clock every day. Yet I recognize that we regularly enjoy what many other families is unable to do, break bread together at an evening meal. It used to be that families sat down to eat dinner together most nights, but the bustling nature of contemporary life, including parents’ work schedules, children’s extracurricular activities and the ease of fast food, make the practice less common.

Recipes crafted throughout generations invoke feelings of pleasure when eaten occasionally. When enjoyed especially around the holidays, a simple dish is transformed into a manifestation of love. When eaten in celebration, it acts as a window into the unique expression of every family. The near obsession with the taste and quality of soul food can be justified by its high in fat content, but it is important not to forget how the psychology of growing up with this food remains with a child forever. It makes sense for it to also be known as “comfort food,” food that is typically unhealthy yet invokes feelings of innocence, childhood, and
