...Bounty” is a restaurant that severs vegetarian westernized food. The food is kept at a low priced to reach out to not only vegans and vegetarian’s, but also a younger generation seeking to try something different. Earth Bounty will be open 24 hours and mostly populated within the suburban area. Earth's Bounty goal is to attract a younger audience from the ages of 16-24, research shows that this age demographic makes up the largest vegetarian/vegan population. Another target audience Earth's Bounty is tying to market to are people that are looking for a healthier food alternative when deciding to dine out because vegetarian food is known for being healthily. By being located in suburban area’s it’ll make eating healthier an option over the abundant amount of fast food restaurants. Both vegans and vegetarians need more local restaurants to go to so they don’t have to worry about food cross contamination. Knowing that vegetarian food is healthier then most non vegetarian dishes, the market for healthy eaters would likely help the success of this brand. Few restaurants offer vegetarian meals but in my personal experience their is a huge market that hasn’t been fully exploited. With Earth’s Bounty being urban, warm and inviting with the use of toned down greens and warm browns, customers will feel welcoming and come in and try food maybe a little out of there comfort zone. A competitor Earth's Bounty is up against is Nuba Restaurant on 207B West Hastings. This restaurant cooks mostly...

...The Classical Brigade System vs. Modern Brigade System By: Dianna Bahamonde Le Cordon Bleu For my kitchen brigade research paper I chose to do one of my favorite restaurants, which is called Hawkers. The restaurant is located in the Downtown Orlando area and is owned by a family friend. The specialty of the small, cozy place is Asian street food that people sell-or hawk-all over the cities of Asia. In order for a restaurant to work successfully the employers have to work as a team. Although everyone in the business is important, the place would be a ghost town without the kitchen staff. They range from dish washers to executive chefs, but each person is as important as the last. This paper is about the way the brigade system is set up at Hawkers and how it compares to the classical brigade system. To do my research paper, I had to find all the information I could about Hawkers and about the way the kitchen brigade was set up when Escoffier designed it. I decided that since I was unable to visit the restaurant, I decided that the next best thing would be to call the manager. He answered all my questions as best as he could. In order to find the information about the classic brigade I reread my class notes and searched the internet. The day starts every day at around nine in the morning when employers clock in to begin cooking. The first to come in is the Executive chef, also known as Tim...

...and Sub-region in India has distinct food traditions and preferences…fast foods such as Samosa ,Bhel-puri, Chola bhatura, Pakoda, Aloo-bhurji,, Pav-bhaji, Dosa, and Sambar vada are popular among Indian consumers” (Dyson and others, 2004). In 1990, McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Burger King all announced that they were switching to vegetable oil to reduce the fat content in their fries. Previously, they cooked their fries in tallow, which is defined as “hard fat obtained from parts of the bodies of cattle, sheep or horses, and used in foodstuffs or to make candles, leather dressing, soap and lubricants.” In order to compensate for the changed taste of their popular fries, McDonald’s used a beef flavoring before distributing them to their restaurants. Under the US government's food guidelines, it was allowed to label this beef flavoring as...

...preparation time can be considered to be fast food, typically the term refers to food sold in a restaurant or store with preheated or precooked ingredients, and served to the customer in a packaged form for take-out/take-away. The concept of ready-cooked food for sale is closely connected with urban development. In Ancient Rome cities had street stands that sold bread, sausages and wine. As in Roman cities during antiquity, many of these establishments catered to those who did not have means to cook their own food, particularly single households. Unlike richer town dwellers, many often could not afford housing with kitchen facilities and thus relied on fast food. Travellers, as well, such as pilgrims en route to a holy site, were among the customers. since than fast-food business is thriving. It is not that there was no fast food shops before the proliferation of western food chain. But it is the western food-chain such as Mcdonald’s, pizza Hutt,Sub-ways and Dominos get the desired success. The reasons that have contributed to the increased popularity are: Targeting Markets: •Initial focus on metros- Mumbai, Delhi •Relatively high incomes •Exposure to western food & culture •Move to smaller satellite towns (Gurgaon,Pune) •Positive spillover effects of reputation Product Adaptation-The Indian challenge: •Much higher degree of adaptability •40% Vegetarians –Vegetarian selections to suit Indian taste •Maharaja Mac replaced Big Mac, Chicken Patty instead of Beef ...

...Research Term Paper Vladimir Duverger Tues, Thurs (11:15-12:30) November 6th, 2014 To begin, Haitian culture is a very diverse and was engrained into me as I grew up, being that I had a Haitian mother. One of the most diverse things about the culture and one thing that many people can agree with, is the food. As for me, that's one of my favorite things about being Haitian-Dominican decent as I get to eat the amazing food. But another culture who's food is a big part of their being, are Asians and their style of cooking and what they eat and what they make, and etc. So I thought, why not visit or get in depth with another culture whose food is a huge part of their being. And for this paper, I've decided to get into Asian food and how it differs from my culture as well as the importance it plays in their culture. To continue, as I began to think of where I can go to try real Asian food to really speak on for this essay, I remembered about my neighbor. My neighbor whom is of Chinese descent owns restaurant called 'Asia Town'. When I approached him about wanting to learn about different Asian foods and taste them, he invited me for a free meal at his restaurant to try some of his popular dishes. He even explained to me that a lot of his food is cooked by himself and though he gets help from his mother, he makes sure to keep the 'Asian style' in his food. A lot of popular buffets make their food 'mainstream' according to him and he mentioned to me...

...Going Vegetarian Many people believe that vegetarians aren’t able to find meatless items at restaurants. It may seem to be more difficult, but according to the “Vegetarian Times” eight out of ten restaurants in the United States offer vegetarian choices. Although being a vegetarian can be challenging, the benefits outweigh the burdens. Today, there are many healthy, vegetarian choices in restaurants around the world. For example, apples and yogurt can even be found at McDonalds! “Farmer’s Weekly” says that not only is a vegetarian diet healthy but it also helps cut greenhouse gases, conserve water, and conserve land. Today, many people are trying to become eco-friendly and don’t know what they can do to help. Giving up meat is a healthy choice for you, for the animals, and it could even help solve world hunger. Many people, when they think of becoming vegetarian, wonder how they are going to get enough protein and iron in their diet. According the book, The Case for Vegetarianism, people are mistaken in thinking that protein comes from animals. Protein actually comes from plant food, meaning that all animals get protein through the food they eat. When trying to figure out what foods have protein, whole grains, beans, nuts, eggs, and peas are all high in protein, as well as all dairy products. To be the healthiest, one’s diet should include a variety of whole foods. Excess protein actually puts stress on the liver and kidney and is also linked with calcium...

...THE GOLDEN ARCHES IN INDIA Introduction: The Golden Arches are the symbol of McDonald's, the global fast-food restaurant chain. Originally, real arches were part of the restaurant design. They were incorporated into the chain's logo in 1962, which resembled a stylized restaurant, and in the current Golden Arches logo, introduced 1968, resembling an "M" for "McDonald's.

Each McDonald's restaurant is operated by a franchisee, an affiliate, or the corporation itself. The corporations' revenues come from the rent, royalties and fees paid by the franchisees, as well as sales in company-operated restaurants. This can only be attributed to the fact that McDonald's management style and strategies are extremely effective when faced with the vast amount of issues it has in its sixty plus years of history. McDonald's business in India: McDonald’s success in global growth is exemplified in its achievement in infiltrating the Indian food market. This infiltration has been made famous due to management and strategic issues encountered by McDonald's from the macroeconomic...
