...returning customer that has never been disappointed. Coming from an Italian family I never thought I could find homemade Italian food that compares to my grandmothers until experiencing Dominic’s. The first time I stepped into Dominic’s I expected to eat average Italian food, and once I left the restaurant I was in love with the atmosphere, service, and food. Dominic’s has two locations within the Phoenix metro area and they all have a similar atmosphere with antique collectables scattered throughout the restaurant. Even though both locations have similar decorations they both have extremely different layouts. The 1950’s decorations and atmosphere was the first thing that stood out to me once I walked up to the entrance. The Tempe, Arizona Dominic’s is not like restaurant. The entire restaurant is built like a red house with green trim. Paintings are all over the outside of the building with slogans such as; legalize marinara, Dominic’s dispensary, and many more. As you the customers up to the side entrance there is a host stand outside where someone greets them with a big hello and smile. As the customers walk in Dominic’s the kitchen is the first thing they see, and the guest are greeted again by the kitchen staff. The inside of Dominic’s is upbeat and colorful, and there are small TV’s that play black and white cowboy movies. The restaurant smells of homemade Italian pasta and pizza. Dominic’s...

...with the same ingredients and in the same way as the homemade soups. In 1949 Progresso introduced the first canned ready-to-serve soup in America and has grown to become the No. 1 ready-to-eat soup brand in America by using quality ingredients. Progresso continues to build on its rich history of flavorful products that delight the consumer. Gender & Age: Their commercials appear to target both men and women - mostly women. Those who are middle aged as opposed to teen and younger or senior citizen and those who are looking for something that is nostalgic and from their past. The reason I think they appeal mostly to women is because their message is positive and focuses on how it can improve and help a women’s life. They involve them with the brand and tell stories that resonate with females. One commercial shows a woman in a wedding dress calling to tell the Progresso Soup kitchen thanks for the help to achieve that goal. When the kitchen asks when’s the big day, she says “Oh, it was years ago, but the dress still fits!” Education & Income: I’m assuming their education levels are higher than high school as many of the commercials show people who are in offices or nice home settings which would mean their income is more middle class as opposed to lower or upper. Ethnic Group: Their company history can be traced back to Italy. Their soups like Traditional, Classic and Rich & Hearty all suggest a homemade flavor like Grandma’s. One commercial shows a woman...

...family favorite dish or at least her favorite, and to bring in that recipe to share. Surprisingly for Caribbean women, stuff shells were and still are this Trinidadian favorite dish of all times. Now I get it because being from Bermuda, I tend to lean more to Italian dishes as well but my wife is the oldest of three girls and lived with a mother from my observations, that cooked nothing but soul/Caribbean cuisines. At the end of this interview, I will encourage the reader(s) to try my wife’s recipe for stuff shells. I use my wife as a reliable source for this project because of her family’s background---Trinidadian. There’s no secret that Caribbean women love to cook, and not just love but can actually put great things together in the kitchen. Her mother and I often argue about who is the better cook but to be honest, her mother is a very good cook. From the spices she uses to presentation. As a matter of fact, she has a catering company---she being the mother. Trinidad cuisine is known for a number of dishes that has contributed to the culinary world. I believe it’s the spices that create these dishes to come to life like no other culture; roti, doubles, curries and more---Trinidad's best foods are loaded with flavor. “Food is diverse breakfasts, cultural and traditional in many cases,” my wife informs me. Trinidad cuisine is influenced by many different styles, such as East Indian, Spanish, African, Chinese and more. Over time it has been adapted and changed to...

...KATHY’S HOME When a person is a good cook, he or she is usually a clean person as well. However, in Kathy’s case, the opposite turned out to be true. The first time Kathy and I got to know one another was at the VA Medical Center. The afternoon staff at the VA Medical Center decided to have a Memorial Day potluck for those working on that day. The employees working on the holiday drew sticks to decide what each would bring to the potluck. Kathy would bring beef stew, Tucker—corn muffins, Sandy—turnip greens, Maggie—potato salad, Amy—barbecue rib tips, Wendy—soft drinks, plates, and the table coverings, and I would bring a lemon cheesecake. When Memorial Day came, one of the staff members, Maggie, decorated the tables in the nurses’ lounge. On one of the tables, Maggie laid out the plastic plates, utensils, napkins, and cups together. Pepsi Cola, Coca Cola, Sprint, Faygo, and Mountain Dew cans chilled in a large size styrofoam cooler filled with ice on the floor. Maggie turned down the slow cooker from hot to warm and added Kathy’s beef stew to the second table along with all the other food. Two square tables surrounded by round tables were all covered with white table cloths. Maggie had the tables decorated beautifully. The plates and napkins were solid blue and trimmed with flowers, with the forks and spoons matching. As some of us put our patients to bed, others went to the nurses’ lounge to enjoy the food we’d all brought. When it was time for me to have a break, I went...

...The food borne illness I have chosen is salmonella. Question 1: What is the infectious agent (pathogen) that causes this infectious disease? The infectious agent (pathogen) that causes salmonella is called salmonella enteriditis. The bacteria is larger than a virus; but, is visible to the eye with the microscope. It is rod-shaped, gram negative, non-motile bacteria that does not form spores. Interestingly enough it communicates to its fellow bacteria via AHL. It infects the cell, multiplies within it; then, bursts the cell. Special effector protein factors are required for salmonella intestinal invasion and the induction of fluid secretion and for inflammatory responses. There are about six names species names of it, salmonella enteritidis, and salmonella enteric which cause the human disease.

Food prepared on surfaces that previously were in contact with raw meat or meat products can, in turn, become contaminated with the bacteria. This is called cross-contamination. Salmonella can become a chronic infection even if you do not have symptoms. In addition, though you may have no symptoms, you can spread the disease by not washing your hands before preparing food for others. In fact...

...Gutiérrez MANA 716 Prof. Bernardo Gil Ana G. Méndez University System, Metro Orlando Campus Yummy Subs Café – Case Study In 1980 Michael Porter, professor of Harvard University developed the model of 5 competitive forces. This model became a tool for analyzing an organization industry structure for developing a strategy. The model is based on that the corporate strategy should meet the organization opportunities and threats present in the organizations external environment. These 5 forces can be adapted to every industry in every market and will define the amount of competition, profitability and attractiveness of an industry. The Yummy Subs Café was established in 1953 offering different kinds of specialized coffees, teas, homemade soups, sandwiches, salads and full time bakery. An analysis of Porter’s Five Forces follows. • Bargaining power of buyers – How strong is the position of buyers, how much power do they have to drive prices down and how easy will be for them to change products or services. Yummy’s customers have plenty of options and will be very easy for them to change to another bakery style business. For example, specialized coffee, sandwiches, salads and bakery products are offered at places like Panera Bread, Jason Deli’s, Starbucks and Barnies. The proposed strategy to lessen impact of clients leaving will be to ensure prices and quality is similar to competition. • Bargaining power of suppliers – How strong is the position of suppliers,...

When my family gets together we eat and gossip and talk. I like to hear the laughter that comes from everybody having a good time.
