For people who are tired of hearing waiters say “locally sourced” – for people who rejoiced when a pot-roast recipe from Tippah County won grudging and incredulous approval from editors at the “New York Times” – this fine, no-nonsense book on Southern cooking will be a godsend.…
Lefty’s BBQ is a U.S. national restaurant chain which serves beef, pork, and chicken barbecue along with Pepsi products, thin-cut French fries or slaw as sides, and offers biscuits or garlic bread as well. The restaurant operates as a drive-up only, with parking lots available at most locations for people to sit and eat in their cars, as well as picnic tables outside in some southern locations. The “average” customer is white male and about 35-45 years old. Many of the workers in the chain are high school part-time, hourly workers who operate the registers, clean-up, and cooking. Managers range from the age of 18+. Lefty’s BBQ senior management has implemented a change plan to introduce alcoholic beverages to its menu (beer and wine only). This is going to impact quite a bit of the operations, and certainly is going to impact the employee base, as in most states, to serve alcohol will require employees to be a minimum of 21 years of age. Due to some licensing issues, Lefty’s is also going to switch from Pepsi products to Coke products along with introducing the beer and wine to its new menu. Unfortunately, the press got a hold of this change in plan before senior management had communicated the change to the rest of the employees throughout the country. Identify, discuss, and begin to address the many resistances, emotional intelligence issues, and unintended consequences which the management will face and need to overcome and handle throughout this…

To complete the decadent meal and the night full of blues music, bread pudding and ice cream were…

When I was choosing a company I had to figure out what I loved most. So I decided to choose my favorite restaurant. The company I chose was Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc (CMG). I know that this is crazy because its fast food, but I work less than 1 mile from one and I eat there at least 2-3 times a week. So as much money as I have invested in with just lunch a week. I was dying to find out their financial information and this assignment gave me my opportunity.…

Northrop Frye in "The Singing School" illustrates that all literature has the same format where it symbolizes characters struggling with the loss, and regaining of identity.

Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa may very well have saved Major League Baseball. The season after the MLB strike of 1994, attendance and TV ratings were the lowest they had been in over a decade. Baseball needed a way to boost interest and increase the games appeal and more importantly to the league, revenue. And it received that boost in the form of the greatest home run race the game has seen. Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa were pacing their way to history in pursuit of breaking Roger Maris’ single season home run record of 61 home runs that had stood for 37 years. After the 162 game season, McGwire and Sosa finished with 70 and 66 home runs, respectively, and had made a positive impact on the game of baseball. However, it is unlikely that the two men will ever have a place in Cooperstown, New York in the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame because they played in the steroid era (late 1980’s to the late 2000’s) and their admitted steroid use.…

Today, sixty years from the original opening, the building is still standing and the business still offers great service. Of course, some other things have changed. Today, the 4 Barrel BBQ serves up four barrels of fine craft beers, fine bar service and some of the best BBQ you will ever eat. Even better, if you bring a picture of your first car, the restaurant will buy you your first beer. That is another great reason to stop…
