Local Restaurants: ‘’Banderas’’ Vs. ‘’La Gorda’’
Eating is considered as the third pleasure in the world, which it carries many demands and expectations. The society seeks mostly restaurants abundant with delectable taste and economical prices. ‘'Banderas’' and ‘'La Gorda’' is where people compare and contrast to know which the best is. Even though both are Mexican restaurants, they have different contrast. "La Gorda" is considered best by their incomparable flavor in each saucer on the menu and prices appropriate which makes it considerable for any person. In my opinion, I believe in this.
First, ‘'Banderas'’ is a local business in a little town called Clint. Its goal is to prepare Mexican entrees such as many in the city, "La Gorda" shares the same goal. '’Banderas’' menu contains ‘’burritos’’, ‘’huevos Rancheros’’, ‘’tortas’’ and hamburgers mostly recognized. Society itself wants more variety in food, especially in United States when people want to eat something new and different every day like “McDonalds”, “Taco Bell” or any other commercial fast food restaurant. For example, people can cook ‘’Bandera’s’’ menu at the comfort of their homes, in some cases it’s found cheaper and saves the customer service (tip). These examples show that ‘’Banderas’’ has a lack of variety in food who result in a not-very-attractive place to go and eat.
Second, ‘’La Gorda’’ is a local business too, located in the city of El Paso, a fairly large city compared to ‘’Bandera’s" location in Clint. ‘’La Gorda’s’’ menu contains a large variety of food and fresh waters such as, the famous and delicious ‘’comidas Corridas’’ which is a small ‘’caldo de res’’ and a small portion of any traditional Mexican entrees, ‘’tortas’’,‘’burritos’’ and hamurgers according to costumer taste, ‘’enchiladas’’, ‘’flautas’’ among a list without end. The flavor of all the food is great in

    With their take on a “fast-casual” restaurant, co-owners Will Cumberland, Baird Cumberland and Stephen Chan have introduced a unique dining experience fit for its young and urban neighborhood: casual and quick in its service (a great choice for those in a tight lunch break) but at the same time chic and relaxed in its vibe where you can stay longer and have a few beers with friends. The ambiance created from its décor to its menu and the cool atmosphere provided by itskitchen and staff is very welcoming and resonates a holistic vision of Wilbur Mexicana. It is not just a place to get delicious and reasonably priced Mexican street-food but also a place to hangout and share memorable food…

    Given a scenario of anticipating the opening of a hamburger fast-food restaurant in the countries of United Arab Emeritus (UAE), Israel, Mexico, and China, we must first begin by looking into their culture and how that may influence how food is prepared and what is contained in the food(s). A country’s culture will also dictate how meals are consumed, where they are consumed, and at what time of day they are consumed.…

    When expanding into another country or a new country there are differences in the way meals are prepared and what the culture as a whole prefers as far as ingredients and overall taste. In our study one of the hypotheses is that in order to be successful in the Brazilian market we will need to add more fresh ingredients to our meals as well as adding spices or other ingredients that are common in Brazilian menus. Our second hypothesis is that our overall atmosphere including décor and music will need to be changed according to the Latin culture. We want our patrons to feel at home in our restaurants and our food to be to their liking so that they will return day after day.…

    While his inclusion of images and the story of Barbara Kowalcyk highlight certain sins of the food industry, Robert Kenner goes even further in his quest to have America take action against the food industry’s lack of consumer care by explaining the distinct difference between fast food companies and big corporation farms versus actual farms that produce goods for sale. First, Kenner shows the audience of Food, Inc. a Latino family in a fast food drive thru, purchasing burgers and fries. The mother of the family explains that the family often did not earn enough money to buy healthy food such as oranges and carrots, but instead could only afford fast food. She then continues to explain how her husband has diabetes, and that his medication consumes…

    Whether it be through restaurants that serve as taquerias or grocery stores with Spanish words, the effect of the Hispanic culture can obviously be seen throughout the street’s businesses. This culture effect can be seen not only in the culinary aspect but also in the designs and layouts of the businesses. This can range from Spanish words being included into the name of a business to flags representing the Mexican country being hung outside of the establishment. Each of these examples reflect an overall Hispanic culture and show a clear picture that Mexican immigrants in America share a certain bond with each other that has resulted in an established culture here that can remind them of home but also thrive economically in the Fort Worth area. The numerous restaurant and grocery areas provide this currently and will continue to do so through their products and…

    Falk inserts an inordinate amount of her own feelings on the topic and doesn’t analyze the subject as well as she should have. She focuses mainly on the fast food business while lacking in her analysis of fine dining. She also should have made the paper more about what caused the changes in the restaurant business instead of the changes themselves. In the essay Falk has many examples of foods and restaurants that have changed and became noticed for their modern style, such as Panera Bread and Chipotle. She appeals to a large audience by adding examples many people can relate too.…

    Fast Food Nation

    In the book, Fast Food Nation, Eric Schlosser discusses the problems that the nation is facing with fast food restaurants. Schlosser wrote this book because he was concerned with where the fast food industry was taking America. He voices his concern about the children and their health regarding meat bacteria, and the fat content of the food. He also mentions how potato farmers, cattle ranchers, and chicken raisers are suffering from the industry controlling prices too low. Another worry Schlosser has is how the meat packing factories for these restaurants treat their workers and ultimately how careful they are with the meat. There are many horrifying stories about the harsh injuries and severe chronic problems these immigrant workers experience everyday or suffer with for the rest of their lives from working under such dangerous conditions. Schlosser also informs his readers of how the meat is processed, from the killing of the cattle to the boxing of the meat and some of the unknown, surprising facts that are involved in the whole process. Another issue presented in this book is how cities are affected by the rapid growth of these fast food restaurants. Also, Schlosser interviews teenagers working at these restaurants and tells their stories of frequent robberies, occasional shootings and poor work conditions. Ultimately this book is geared to help the people of America realize that there is a serious problem with fast food restaurants and we need to start demanding better food. Schlosser makes a convincing argument that the conditions in the meat processing factories need to be changed.…
