Extra Credit Assignment: Bonus Journal


You have two options for up to 15 points of extra credit; choose one:

A) This journal is about foods we know we don't like. For it, you must retry a food you have previously decided you did not like. This may be either an individual food (e.g. pickles, mushrooms) or a prepared dish (e.g. liver and onions, sushi). Using “A Conversation with Dad” from Food on the Food (eR) as a basis, think about the experience of eating this food once again. Does eating it again confirm your earlier opinion? Is it better now than before? Why or why not?

B) This journal is about your expectations of service in a restaurant. What level of service do you expect when dining out? Are your needs of a server fairly basic? Or do you want service that goes a step further? What kind of tipper are you? Likewise, is good service a two-way street? Are there things you should (or shouldn't do) to ensure better service? Using "Thirteen Things Your Waiter Won't Tell You" (eR) as a basis, write about your expectations of service in a restaurant.

Note: This is your only opportunity for extra-credit this semester. To receive full credit (15 points), your journal must be at least two FULL pages.

Due: By midnight on Tuesday, Dec. 8th. Submit by email only.
