In the 1950s, foods took a change for the better… or worse. Things that Americans now take for granted were rare novelties back then. A simple pouch of McDonald’s french fries, a Whopper from Burger King, or microwavable Swanson TV Dinner trays easily changed the “cult of domesticity” in many 1950-modern homes. Before this time, women were expected to spend hours in the kitchen preparing meals for their families. This new way of food preparation changed the amount of money spent on food, the quality of food, and the amount of time and effort spent making food.…

The Gourmet Problem Reading “Today’s Special” by David Sedaris made me realize that I not only agree with his disdain of gourmet food and its seeming takeover of normal restaurants with normal food but also that I am a food snob. First of all, when I order a traditional meal of meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and green beans, I expect the meatloaf not to be mixed with prunes and drowning in a peach sauce accompanied by mashed potatoes made with cauliflower –where’s the potatoes?- and vanilla green bean amandine. Then I realized that while others are snobbish about ‘normal, boring food’, I am a reverse food snob. Food does not have to be bland…

I knew Red Lobster was a bad option. I wanted to go to Outback Steakhouse, but mom had her way, even on MY high school graduation. I was stuck, sitting in the booth, waitress staring at me for 15, 16, 17 seconds now. Sitting in my cap and gown, she asked again – “where are you going to college?” I’d prefer the Bloomin’ Onion to this any day of the week.…
Every time I walk into Texas Roadhouse my eyes wonder over to where the rolls and their special cinnamon butter waiting to be consumed by the customer. I hear country music playing in the background, and feel peanuts crumbling under my feet like leaves on a beautiful autumn day. Without looking at the menu, my mind is already preparing my stomach for the flavorful food that I am about to encounter. Texas Roadhouse gives the Newark population somewhere local to get a great steak while getting a significate value. From personal experience most of the other steakhouses will get very pricey for a family of five making it difficult to dine at their restaurant while living on a tight budget.…

What should we have for dinner? This may seem like a simple question, but according to Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, how we answer it today could determine our very survival as a species. He believes that America has a national eating disorder (4). “When you can eat just about anything nature has to offer,” Michael Pollan writes, “deciding what you should eat will inevitably stir anxiety.” Nowhere is this anxiety more discerning than in the modern supermarket where new dietary fads such as “gluten free” and “free-range” products just keep coming.…
