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.

  1. 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!
