CYOA:
Eat Local!
One
of my favorite shows to watch is Diners,
Drive Ins and Dives on the Food Network.
The host, Guy Fieri, travels all across the country to eat the best
dishes on the menu at restaurants that are favorites of the locals. He
celebrates the food, as well as the love that goes into the cooking. I enjoy
the show because I not only get to see how some amazing recipes come together,
but I also get an idea for the culture of many cities and how these restaurants
help in forming unique communities.
I
think it is important to support local restaurants, and Guy Fieri celebrates
this in his show. I believe local restaurants keep communities connected and
are vital for supporting the local economy and local “flavor” that people love
to experience. I have included a Grand Rapids based article that highlights the
benefits of eating local vs. eating at chain restaurants. Also, I’ve included a
short, fun video clip from Guy Fieri’s show. He visits a restaurant in Detroit,
where my uncle works as a baker! There are so many incredible places to travel
to in this country, and even more incredible places to eat if you want to truly
experience the area! If you’re interested, check out the food network website
for more about the show and the restaurants and cities Guy has visited.

Great subject and links! I'm excited about your presentation. And I love that it's so hyperlocal you have family involved. I'd never heard of Traffic Jam and Snug. Now I want to go!
