Scrumptious flavors and aromas accompanied a night filled with great music in Hennepin Avenue’s Famous Dave’s restaurant, where Tommy Castro and the Painkillers put on a show like no other. Tommy Castro lived up to his reputation of being former BB King Entertainer of the Year on Friday, October 7th, as he moved the entire crowd through his music and stories. This foot-tapping music was perfectly complemented with Famous Dave’s All American Feast, which consisted of mouth-watering ribs, flavor-filled corn, juicy country-roasted chicken, barbeque smothered brisket, crispy famous fries, bacon infused beans, creamy coleslaw, and godly corn bread. To complete the decadent meal and the night full of blues music, bread pudding and ice cream were…
The language used today is very different to that of the 1970’s the comparison of the 2 celebrity chefs Fanny Cradock and Jamie Oliver are 2 major chefs who represent this. The videos of both these chefs making omelettes are great examples of how much these chefs contrast.…
Milford and Rickey both talk about how they started getting into cooking because of their family. Milford says, “‘… what I really love is soul food. Learned to cook it from my grandmomma’” (42) which shows how tightly knit his family and his cooking background are. Rickey also explains, “‘Yeah, my mom taught me to cook. She’s Italian, so I was making lasagna, stuffed eggplant, all that wop shit way before I ever set foot in any fancy kitchen’” (43). Milford also knows a bunch of cornbread recipes which was passed down through generations in his family, which further indicates how important cooking was to families. Many of the cooks in Liquor learned how to cook from their families, or have special recipes that have been passed down through generations. They valued their family traditions and considered cooking as a crucial aspect and something to pass on to their…

“Even if you don't watch reality television, it's becoming increasingly hard to avoid” (Reiss, S & Wiltz, J, 2010). In the exciting world of competitive cooking, there are two popular reality TV shows that was created by The Food Network; Chopped that premiered on January 13, 2009, is hosted by Ted Allen and Cutthroat Kitchen with host Alton Brown that premiered on August 11, 2013 (www.tvguide.com, 2016). Although both shows are aired weekly and share similar formats the path to being declared a winner differs in regards to the choice of ingredients, execution of the challenge and the judging of meals. Chopped allows up and coming chefs an opportunity to create an amazing three-course meal from random unrelated ingredients for a cash prize, in contrast, “Cutthroat Kitchen is the food competition genre’s jump the shark moment. Food Network took the basic formula of…
A major difference was the amount of time spent with family during meal times. Marge’s response of eating alone with the exception of special occasions is directly correlated to her age and would have answered the same as Kevin if she was still at his age. She argued that when she was much younger she spent much more time making food. This can conclude that more time is spent preparing meals when there is more people to prepare for and naturally as people age, the less family and friends that they have so this amount of time dwindles. The most change seems to occur during the youngest generation with Brycen. Both Kevin and and Marge were born into large families with many sibling and commonly would have to fix themselves meals because of the way their family dynamics worked. Brycen, like many of his peers who belong to the same generation, were born into smaller families and have usually had meals fixed for them until they go away for college. This will influence the meal preparation time, variety of meals, and electronic use heavily. With less knowledge of how to cook, less time will be spent on it which will lead to unhealthier meals and more than likely an electronic system in place during meal time as a result of our digital…
In “A Look at the Intersection of Fine Dining and Fast Food”, Brenda Falk discusses the differences and similarities in fast food and fine dining. Her main focus throughout the article is the new found overlap in these two dining techniques. She also seems to feel that soon these two dining techniques could easily become one known as “quick casual”. In this article she jumps around from point to point whether it be reasoning behind certain dining styles, types of changes in these styles, or how they affect each other. Her argument was based fully on fast food restaurants adopting ideas from fine dining restaurants .…

The differences have turned out to be harder to distinguish with the growth of the foodies blurring out the traditional line between rich food and peasant food. This can be established through the cultural diversity in the sense of foody cosmopolitanism where traditional local food can transform into a high cultural consuming consumption. An example of this foody cosmopolitanism is the traditional dish from Liverpool known as scouse. Scouse are inexpensive staple food which can feed a whole working-class family. Due to the scouse being repositioned, the dish has converted into a high culinary/cultural value, where it is viewed to be desirable to those with high cultural capital.…
This connection that I have with my mother is a dime a dozen if you look at our entirely culture here in America. Less and less families these days actually cook or sit down to eat a meal together which has left many Americans searching for something they have lost. This lost feeling is being capitalized on by television networks by the vast amount of cooking and food related shows that are being broadcasted. Frank Bruni asks in “An Experts Theory of Food Television Appeal”, “For these young people, does the televised cooking have have the appeal of a missive from a lost utopia” (Bruni 111)? I believe he hit the proverbial nail right on the head with this line of questioning and he couldn't be more correct. Young adults who lead busy lives,…
These stories are two opposite ideas that relate to one overall topic; your health. The stories being compared are called “What You Eat Is Your Business” by Radley Balko argues that watching what people eat is our own responsibility and in “Junking Junk Food”, Judith Warner implies that the government isn’t doing enough to prevent obesity. The first story discusses mainly how American obesity is a big problem and many people know that is unhealthy and the appropriate steps should be taken to minimize health failure. I agree with Judith Warner and also agree and disagree to some of Radley Balko’s…
The first topic that I'm going to compare today is Roman food. Ancient Roman food consisted of grains, cheese, and assorted fruits. Modern Romans usually eat vegetables, meats, and cheese. Pork lard is also a usual condiment. However, Ancient Rome and Modern Rome share something in common: fast food. Ancient fast food was just like any regular fast food restaurant, you pay, grab your meal, and go, but you wouldn't be ordering any Big Macs or Whopper Supremes. You'd be most likely be eating regular ancient Roman food, as I explained previously. However, in modern day, you can get back to your Big Mac!…
When I was growing up, every christmas I would go to my Grandmother’s house, and have a christmas dinner with my Dad’s side of the family. Because my Grandmother was the first generation in America, she brought lots of british recipes with her. I remember going to her house and eating lamb, yorkshire pudding, and a host of other foods. These experiences helped me relate more to the british culture, and showed me many foods I still love today. Another holiday dinner that also a tradition in my family is thanksgiving dinner with my mom. Although her side of the family is nordic, a lot of the recipes we eat are american dishes. My Aunt typically brings scalloped potatoes and sugar cookies for dessert, my Mom cooks turkey and makes preparations for the dinner, and other dinner guests for the most part bring dessert items. These food…
