“I have a food baby” was a common complaint (compliment?) heard after dinner. Sunday dinners were, and still are, my favorite meal of the week. When I was a child, Sunday was when Mom took a break from the kitchen and Dad became the chef du jour. His “formal chef training” came from his soldiering days in Italy. He lived in a small apartment above a mom-and-pop restaurant and never cooked in his own kitchen. When he was off duty, he spent most of his time…

problem is that the chefs do not know how to manage a business. As soon as the business seemed to be breaking even last year, you noticed that they changed menus, offering more elaborate dishes with more expensive ingredients without increasing prices. These dishes cost too much and take too much time to prepare, limiting their availability to take on more jobs. The lack of profits forced you to take a more active role in the management of the company. Although you told the chefs to raise…

When I started the process for the Internship at Buffalo Wild Wings, I set up different goals for myself that I wanted to accomplish by the end of the Internship in each department that I worked during the Internship. In the Kitchen Department, I was able to learn the proper procedure for creating each dish by shadowing the cooks and Kitchen Manager. I was able to meet this goal by shadowing Wing Certificate Trainer (WCT) and the Kitchen Manager, not only did I learn the dishes by shadowing WCT…

I am Joshua Harry, a student currently enrolled at College of the Ozarks. I am currently in my junior year of college, and as such I have firmly decided upon a major that fits my desire to serve the Lord and my community. My major is Culinary Arts, or the study and practice of preparing food, so that it provides needed nutrition, tastes good, is pleasant to view, and above all, is safe to consume. Cooking has always been a major part of my life, and because of this, I have decided to dedicate my…

The culinary world goes far beyond following steps to make a plate. When I was younger, I thought that this business was made up of dishwashing jobs and working long hours in the kitchen in order to pay bills. Little did I know that it was a whole other world filled with imagination and flavors that can only be created with dedication and passion. When cooking is done the right way, senses are opened up, cultures are brought to reality, and the true beauty of flavors are enlightened with every…

For the purposes of my analysis I have chosen the restaurant scene from Francis Coppola’s “The Godfather”. The reason being is that the scene is intense and sound design plays an immense role in it. The use of it complements the visuals brilliantly and helps the viewer understand what is happening in the characters’ heads. The scene is full of suspense and a balanced mixture of diegetic and non-diegetic sounds accurately underlines that. The whole scene is “framed” by the sound from the…
