I interviewed Marilee Hobbs, one of my mom’s close friends and Linda Keuver, the owner of the restaurant for my local history paper. When she was younger, Marilee worked at the Hans and Gretel Restaurant in East Durham off of Route 145. Linda Keuver was married to John Keuver, whose family owned the Hans and Gretel Restaurant. Hans and Gretel is located about a quarter of a mile south of the Stonebridge Road and Stonebridge Road Extension intersection on the east side of the road. The Beers’ Atlas showed the main road running through East Durham, Route 145, but each piece of property was labelled with the land owner’s names. This made it hard to determine the exact location and prior use on the Beers’ Atlas. John Keuver’s parents bought the …show more content…
John Keuver ran the main parts of the business. He ran the front part of the restaurant, handled the orders and paperwork, and did some of the short order cooking. His sister, Claire, did all the major cooking and ran the kitchen portion of the business. Marilee worked breakfast, lunch and dinner shifts ad had her usual cast of characters. The Keuver family were Germans, but all the patrons were Irish. As told by Mrs. Keuver, “the restaurant’s specialty dish was German sauerbraten.” Marilee said that many Irishmen would come in early Sunday morning, “smelling terribly of alcohol”, and tell Marilee to “tell the cook to hurry up their eggs so they could make it to Sunday mass on time.” Mrs. Keuver told me that “the restaurant was a busy place for many years, especially in the summer.” During the daytime shifts, Marilee said that she’d walk out of the restaurant with thirty to fifty dollars just in tips, and she’d make an average of one hundred dollars in tips each dinner shift she worked. She said that at many occasions, Mr. Keuver would have to lock the doors and make people wait outside for an available table because the restaurant would become so busy and crowded
Setting the scene with including where he grew up, Mike Rose introduces where his mother works in Los Angeles in the 1950s (Rose, 2017 p.272), thus, creating an image in the reader’s head to picture how the economy was at that time. Sometimes people had to work in areas they did not want to work in order to provide for their families. Diving into the everyday life of his mother, Rose emphasized the skills she needed to be successful as a waitress. Waitressing “acquires knowledge and intuition about the ways and rhythms of the restaurant business” (Rose, 2017, p.274). His mother had to devise memory strategies in order to wait on multiple tables with multiple people.
Soon upon opening the index, which was essentially a record of the family names living in Morris County around that time, I quickly located the name Tuttle S and Tuttle C. Both names gestured towards a map, consisting of both Hanover and Whippany Township. Knowing that Caleb Tuttle was the priority, I learned that he had been living in the historic Littleton district, and, not far from the tuttle property, just up the road in fact, I saw the Haring Property on the map. Not farm from the Haring Farm were two properties labelled as Shelley and Rowe. In other words, by investigating the Tuttle family to serve as a marker when natural landmarks failed me, I learned that the Tuttles and the Harings had lived in Hanover Township, Morris County, during

In New Mexico it is very easy to find a restaurant that serves “Latino” themed food. Often, these restaurants put their own spin into the food and it becomes New Mexican. However, if you look hard enough, you may find authentic food from other Latino countries. There are MANY restaurants in Albuquerque and they all serve delicious and unique meals. For this assignment I wanted to try something new and indulge in unique tastes that I will remember for years. I meticulously researched restaurants on Google and found one that caught my attention. Its name is Havana Restaurant. It is in Daskalos Shopping Center off Menaul and San Mateo and its hours of operation are 11 A.M. to 8 P.M (Google Search: Havana Restaurant Albuquerque).
When it comes to dining-in at a restaurant we all want the best service that we can get. When I think of “the best service” I think about the cleanliness, nice waitresses, good food, and affordable prices. There are so many different options when a family thinks about going out to eat, especially if they have small children. It’s often hard to go to a nice dine-in restaurant because sometimes it’s hard to find something on the menu for everyone in the family. I have experienced many things at two completely different restaurants. I can say Demos’ is better than Logan’s because the food and service is much better.
I was in 8th grade when this occurred. I was with my friends in Theatre Class, working on our project and our scripts. One of the project's stated that we had to interview someone at the school. At that time, none of us were as outgoing as we are today. We were very timid and quiet, but I wanted to get out of my shell and start being talkative.
The interview process is something we have all gone through in order to get any job. It may not be our dream job but it is a job and we all have to do this process in order to even be able to start working. In Katy Piotrowski’s article “Preparing for the Job Interview: Know Thyself,” she explains everything that you need to know and not know when going to a job interview. Graduating college and having a Bachelor’s degree of Science in Nursing is what I look forward to doing in the next two years. I will be discussing myself applying for a position in the nursing department. Being the right candidate for this RN nursing position in hospice care requires a lot of hard work and dedication, and that is why I am a good candidate for this position.
My most favorite of all time restaurants to dine at is The Cheesecake Factory. This restaurant is a famous corporate chain of restaurants that offers a widespread variety of all types of American dishes and of course specializes in the most amazing variety of the best tasting cheesecakes. I love the experience of dining at the Cheesecake factory because the atmosphere is so welcoming and the artwork on the ceilings make you feel very lavish, the food is great and the service is excellent. A particular visit last month proved to me that Cheesecake factory lives up to the expectations of its guests.
1. What is your story and how did it led you to create your own business?
It was June 1967, when my father quit his job as a mechanic and opened a restaurant in Chicago. Being the youngest of eight children (one which died prior to my birth), everyone in the family had to help out in order to make the restaurant a success.
The sweet smell of garlic, tickles your nose as you park your car. Its sweet aroma guides your taste buds to the unassuming establishments were the Italian flavor lingers in the air.
Running a restaurant can be one of the most stressful jobs as well as the most fun and rewarding jobs. If the manager is a good leader with excellent leadership skills and has great followers the restaurant will be rewarded. If not the restaurant will plummet in sales and no one will be pleased. While developing a business. staff is important to running a successful restaurant, it is also essential that management focus on its public relations as well as its sales and marketing strategies.
Once I stepped inside the restaurant I automatically could hear the music playing at a moderate level and the laughter of the customers. Right off the back the restaurant's ambiance had a positive vibe. Mindful, it was a Saturday late afternoon. Mary Jane Burger and Brew is a local restaurant trying to stay true to its past. The granddaughter of the original owner now runs the place with the intention of serving good quality food where the ingredients are fresh, mouth watering, and surely not filled with antibiotics and all that other genetically modified elements found in processed foods. The vintage, rustic looking place, holds a small town atmosphere with a big taste.
There is no doubt that the Phoenix is one of the biggest city in the United States. It has the rich resources and good populations. We can always have fun here during my free time. Being an international student who is studying here, the food here is always the most important thing I worried about. Since I came here, I had tried so many foods here and I think each food own their independent style. Whatever what kind of food they from, I think they both good. But the food I always like best is Chinese food.
