Class began with discussing the "Food Trends for 2013" article.

Class discussed how a topic (such as Artisinal Soft-Serve) could become a thesis topic. Possible sub-topics could include: history of the food; how to make the food; comparison (cultural, historical, etc.); comparison of corporate or artisanal or home versions.

Class then compared the table of contents of The White House Cookbook copyright 1899 to the table of contents of Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking copyright 1961. We then made a chart of how things have changed in America (and the world over the last 114 years.

Finally we compared our restaurant review rubric to the televised reviews of the show Check Please.

Here is a link to another episode of Check Please.

Restaurant reviews are due next week!
