Due: Jun 2, 2023 by 11:59pm

This is your final project for Gourmet Foods class. You will be creating a PowerPoint or Google Slide presentation about a restaurant of your choosing. Our leading question for your research will be "What makes this restaurant great?" Your answer is open to interpretation. I will help you choose a restaurant over the next couple of days, and then it will be up to you to do your own personal research. We will share our finished presentations with each other during the last week of class.

The topics you will need to cover are:

History (10 points) - When and where was this establishment founded? Was the original concept different than it is today? Were there any major events that boosted the restaurants brand/reputation? Were there any setbacks? Include any relevant/interesting information you find about the timeline of the restaurant's history.

Notable People (10 points) - Who is in charge of the restaurant (chefs and/or owners) and what is their background/biography? Has their been changes in leadership over time? Include any relevant information about people who have worked there or helped run the business.

Style of Service (10 points) - What style of service is this restaurant? (high-end fine dining, quick-service casual, full service, cafeteria-style, etc.). Please include pictures of the interior of the restaurant in this portion.

Menu/Price Point (10 points) - What is on the menu and what does it look like? Is the menu a la carte or prix fixe? Does the menu change? What is the price range of the items on the menu? Is there a theme/style represented in the wording of the menu or the food served?

Why is this Restaurant Great? (10 points) - This is up to your own interpretation. In your own words, why do you believe this is a "great" restaurant. There is no right or wrong answer, please just make sure you explain your thoughts clearly. What about this restaurant makes it stand out to you?

Organization/Presentation (10 points) - Is your presentation neat and organized. Does it look well-made visually? Make sure to include your sources.

I understand this is an "open-ended" presentation. Please ask me for help if you are stuck. I want this project to be fun, so I want to help you find a restaurant that matches your personality/interests! I think this will be a great lesson!
