The scent was overpowering and it made me want to order a steak. Our hostess greeted our party cheerfully with six people the wait was going to be twenty minutes. This was not bad because the waiting area had a two big fifty inch flat screen televisions as entertainment. While sitting down waiting for our table to be called, you are able to eat free peanuts. The peanuts where in an old century barrel that gave off a wood like aroma. The peanuts must be good because, shells filled the floor,…

Eating is something all people need to do in order to stay alive. What they choose to eat is entirely up to them. Some choose to be vegetarian only eating plant-based products while others choose to dive into delicious and savory meats. Fogo De Chão Brazilian Steakhouse located on N. Scottsdale Road and E. Lincoln Drive is a restaurant to go when craving the non-vegetarian lifestyle. Vegetarians who are willing to venture out of their zone for one night would be the hardest audience to convince…

Cranor manage to get away. For a while at least. Now thanks to the brilliant minds of his good friend and the rest of the CSI team and science they were able to track possible places he might be.

Star Service My past host parents from when I was an exchange student invited me to a restaurant called Square 1 Burger and Bar. They opened about two weeks ago in downtown Winter Park. Usually new restaurants are disorganized, employees have no idea what they are supposed to do, and the managers are frequently unsure of their business structures as well. I was not expecting too much, but since it was a restaurant a friend of my host parents recommended I was hoping for a good experience. From…

Why Tipping Should be Banned Although, Americans have grown accustomed to believing tipping a waiter or a waitress at a restaurant is part of the American dining experience, the fact is, it is a borrowed custom from Europe (Burton). According to Michael Lynn, a professor at the Cornell University School of Hotel Administration, “tipping in the United States began just after the American Civil War in the late 1800’s.” The custom was introduced again in the United States when wealthy Americans…

Although many of Billy Collins’ short poems feature a first-person perspective, readers should not necessarily assume that the voice belongs to the poet himself. Indeed, at times, Collins speaks in the voice of a distinct character whose experiences and thoughts reveal a specific situation and crisis. In “The Waitress,” for example, the speaker’s observations indicate that he dines out often enough to recognize the behaviours common to restaurant servers, but the detail of his description…

created. An important aspect of my own work philosophy is to be constantly working. If I see something that needs to be done and I am capable of doing it, I will. For example, if I see a certain area needs to be swept, I will sweep it instead of waiting for one of my managers telling me to sweep. Another aspect of my philosophy of work is that I am ready when I get to work and that I am there at least 10 minutes…

Every worker knows the woes of all the varieties of customers that pass through their job. These customers’ that pass through restaurants and fast food places can be classified into five groups; these groups have been named the “Understanding”, the “Perfectionist”, the “Can I Speak to your manager”, the “Grandma/Grandpa”, and the “Trash”. The understanding customer is quite possibly the best customer to ever come into the workplace. This type of customer is always understanding of the…

Living with depression is comparable to living in a state of isolation and despair. In the story “A Clean, Well-Lighted Place,” Ernest Hemingway tells the story about two waiters who banter back and forth about a regular customer who frequents their café to drink. The younger one is judgmental and agitated, while the older one is more understanding and compassionate. Through the use of symbolism, setting, and dialogue, Hemingway presents the theme that living with depression is challenging.…
