Eating out at a fancy restaurant is a luxury for some people. For a restaurant to qualify as “fancy”, it must be clean, have the best furnishings, best waitresses, multiple food selections, and is usually a little pricy. Higher class individuals are the ones who usually eat at these restaurants. Sometimes a middle class person will go out as a treat. For example, Red Lobster is considered a fancy restaurant. Red Lobster is known as one of the best restaurants. Price has stated that, “This country has more than 785,000 places to eat out, ranging from hot dog vendors at the ball park to school cafeterias and fancy restaurants. Dining out continues to grow in popularity - from $170 billion worth of meals and snacks (excluding alcoholic beverages) …show more content…

The lower lighting in Red Lobster, is to make it feel more romantic inside. It also keeps peoples voices down. When there are a bunch of lights on, more people are alert and more rowdy. Typically, in higher class restaurants, there are a lot of booths. Booths seat more people, and seats them more comfortably. The booths are covered with a nice thick padding. Red Lobsters booths have very thick padding and are colored black. With all the luxury of nice seating and lighting, cleanliness is a big deal for higher class
I thought it would be a good idea to revisit the training styles of my first interview with general manager Terrel from West Virginia 's Red Lobster. We began the interview with the recap of our first interview, which mainly focused on the training and development of future managers of Red Lobster restaurants. For this interview, I wanted to focus on the entire training process from a new employee to the general manager position.
Hi Mr. Jarrod! As I know you are expecting an important client coming in from out of town, and I would like to help you decide by telling you about the differences and similarities between two of my favorite restaurants. Hopefully, you find one of them suitable enough for your business dinner. I have been to many restaurants in town, but so far Ruby Tuesday and Red Lobster are my favorite ones. Ruby Tuesday and Red Lobster are two similar restaurants with a slight difference in menu, service speed, and price. They receive the same type of customers although the ambiance of these two places is little bit different.
Relying on our strong company legacy that is been in place since 1968, I believe that we can use that strategically to improve our overall marketing strategy and help achieve our overall goal of continued franchise expansion throughout the country. One of the most effective ways to capitalize on our company legacy and reputation is through product placement and advertising. I predict that our overall marketing strategy for developing products will be small at first. Any initial product placement will be on things like napkins, aprons and other apparel. You also investigate creating our own unique company logo. This will help to increase our brand recognition. Also, we can create our own website and have an interactive menu that allows our customers to order our products online and have them be ready for pickup at the restaurant location. After some initial trial and error, we can consider expanding our product line of items that have more prosper
The documentary Blackfish directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite, leaves the viewer with many different emotions. This documentary follows the life of Tilikum, a captured killer whale who is forced to preform for SeaLand. The director uses different interviews from people who have worked with Tilikum or have seen him attack people during the shows. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, has said that swimming with and training killer whales is not safe at all and should not be done. They believe it is a very high risk to the human working with the whale.
When do natural products become a delicacy? They become a delicacy when they become harder to find in their natural setting. This is what happened to the lobster and how the demands of the consumers changed. During Colonial times, the status of lobster was much different than today. It was once considered a poor man’s food. Now, it is considered a delicacy and found in many fancy dishes and at most higher priced restaurants. Today, lobster prices are high. If you want to eat a good lobster, you have to pay a decent price for it. The change in status of lobster occurred when the supply of lobster started to become depleted. As the sources of lobster were being depleted the demand increased in wealthier markets. This occurred because wealthier people could afford the higher prices created by a shrinking supply. The supply of the lobster population is what influenced the changing demands of the consumers.

I really value health that I wouldn't mind spending a lot of money on it especially when it comes to food. I'm a health buff but I am not trying to be a Vegan but reading Consider the Lobster by David Foster Wallace makes me curious in some way. Suppose that animal does feel the pain and suffers like human being? Boiling lobster to be specific, when you're about to cook them, do they somehow suffer, feel the pain, or have this emotions? because they struggle a lot in a pot when cooking it and make unnecessary noises. Based on this research, it is proven that animals have emotions.
Animal's rights is the idea that some, or all, nonhuman animals are entitled to the possession of their own lives, and that their most basic interests, such as an interest in not suffering, should be afforded the same consideration as the similar interests of human beings. In David Foster article, "Consider the lobster," he refers the animal rights by talking about the lobster. I agree with David Foster Wallace because it is wrong to boil a living creature just for the pleasure of a person to eat but at the same time I disagree since one must eat whatever he wants and not be stopped because of the thought of it.

Many of the customers are regulars who have been coming to the restaurant ever since it first opened, which is why the owners make it a priority to provide a consistent menu with the customer’s favorite entrees. The restaurant strictly serves dinner options, as it opens its doors at 4pm. The menu consists of seafood, pasta, steak, and sandwiches, as well as a daily entrée and soup specials, allowing every customer to find something that appeals to them on the menu. Although the menu features a wide variety of food, many of the options, especially the seafood, can be quite pricey for many customers. This results in many customers only being able to come in for special occasions, as the food is too expensive to pay for on a regular basis. Some of the restaurants most popular items, such as the prime rib, are only available on the weekend, resulting in customers who come into the restaurant specifically for thos...

The editors of Gourmet Magazine were able to reel in the much sought after author David Foster Wallace to chronicle the events of the Maine Lobster Festival. The editors were expecting an essay about the summer festival that would provoke mouthwatering reactions from the readers of the magazine. Instead, Wallace saturates his essay with sarcasm while, to please his editors, still being able to build a shell around a subliminally satirical message. While using a sarcastic and satirical tone, David Foster Wallace is able to construct on argument that America is ignoring morals as they dine.
Distinguishing each restaurant further is the service; although it is impeccable at both Pappadeaux and Joe's Crab Shack, the manner in which one is served varies greatly. When dining at the classy Pappadeux, each patron is greeted by an exquisitely dressed staff. The waitstaff is clad in black slacks, white tuxedo shirts, and classic bow ties, while the hostess dons an elegant dress. The staff greets each diner with the traditional "ma'am" and "sir" and treats her or him with the utmost respect and dignity. In contrast, at the relaxed Joe's Crab Shack the entire staff wears t-shirts and shorts or jeans and treats everyone as if they are life-long friends; greeting patrons with "Hey! How's it going?
