Something that I have been interested in learning more about has been food photography. I never heard someone speak about it before. I just began thinking about it this year, while trying to figure out my profession. Lately, the issue has made me think about what it really is. I know that some people think it is not a good idea to got to school ONLY for that. Many people have told me have a good backup plan because it is not a reliable income source. From what I have heard it looks like an easy job, but its quite challenging like any other job.
Grimaldi’s Pizzeria is a New York style pizzeria that serves what I think is the best pizza in all of Texas. IT can be found in Dallas, San Antonio, Houston and other places in the US. They use a brick coal burning oven. It gives their pizza and calzones a unique flavor and a crisp crust that is just not possible from gas, convection or wood burning ovens. The inside of the restaurant has a New York feel to it. There are pictures of Frank Sinatra and famous people and building of New York and you can watch the chefs make your pizza and put it in the oven.
P.Terry's burger stand is a local burger joint with an old fashion vibe. From the architecture and color schemes, to the uniforms of the employees, P.Terry's has a 50's style through out all of the locations. The burgers containing only 443 calories, have a thin mouth watering all natural angus beef patty. The tomatoes are hand sliced and are delivered daily from local farms. The fries are cut in the restaurant from whole all natural Idaho potatoes and fried in 100% canola oil which is trans fat free.
McDonald's is a tremendous establishment consisting of great friendly service and yummy food.
When you arrive in a McDonald's chain restaurant you are greeted with a friendly hola from the cashier. You then proceed to order your food from the cashier and in a jiff your order is ready. You then go and take a seat in the clean and comfortable tables they have to offer. The food is hot and delicious full of flavor and salt.
A great place to eat in Austin is the local hot-spot called P.Terry's. P.Terry's has several locations around town and is a fast food burger joint. The food is very good and fast. The service given is excellent and if you have a dog with you as you drive to up to the window to get your food, they will even give you a dog blonde.
This past weekend, I visited Cypress Grill, a restaurant in South Austin. The restaurant is conveniently located on William Cannon Drive, next to Mopac. The building offers an option of sitting inside or sitting on the “patio”, which can be open to the outside.
5 words. All you can eat pancakes. And who's got em? IHOP does. Not only can you order as many pancakes as your stomach pleases, its all for low price of 5 dollars. Seriously what a steal! And did I mention they are open 24 hours a day?
I personally visited the IHOP located at 1101 S Mopac Expy. Our waitress was super friendly and had a great sense of humor. Waiting on a group of 10 indecisive, short attention spanned teenagers surely can't be the easist job, but she did it with a smile!
Perry's is an amazing steakhouse. It's in downtown Austin, on W. 7th St. When we got there, we had to walk a few blocks instead of the valet they offered, but it wasn't too bad. The outside of the building is plain, but the inside is beautiful. It's huge and dark, with geometric chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, walls covered with wine racks, and gorgeous designs on the walls, floors, and bar. There is also a grand staircase in the back leading up to a classy party area.
In Ron Dudley's opinion piece, "Organics Will Never Feed Everybody", from the Wall Street Journal, the author en lights the problems with organic food farming and retail. He delves into the prices of organic and "normal" food, why farming organic foods is a waste of money, and states that most people can afford to eat organic foods instead of "normal" food.
For a while now I have been researching the topic I call, "Fat Food". This essentially has to do with the problem we know so well of obesity in America. And I am not talking about the generally overweight people who enjoy a cheeseburger or that second helping at Thanksgiving once in w while. Im talking about the dangerously overweight morbidly obese percentile of our population. This percentile is growing at such a rapid weight that it is becoming a hot topic in the health industry and an opportunity for a big profit revenue for those big business diet companies.
We are becoming a society that is used to blaming others for our faults, we like to take the easy way out. It is time for us to grow a pair and take responsibility for our actions, and most importantly, take responsibility for what we are putting into our bodies. Lately, I have read a lot of writings that say “Fast Food: Main Cause of American Obesity” or “Why Fast Food Makes Us Fat”.
Whenever it comes to lose weight you think of so many things, right? Well some of them might be how you start to set unrealistic goals of how you are going to lose weight, use lack of time as an excuse that you can’t lose weight because you’re too busy, and etc. People say it’s hard to lose weight, and others disagree. I believe it’s hard to lose weight.

This past summer I Visited Coney Island. A place where everyone go to chill and hang out. I went with my mother, my aunt, and my little sister. I saw my “lil sis” get on some rides while i chilled with my mother and aunt. While walking around I bumped into my two friends Alexis and Jalissa. I decided to chill with them while my mother and them left.
The idea is to strip down, not jump right into it. I’m talking, of course, about eating. But not any kind of eating. Eating string cheese.
String cheese, cheese sticks, cheese snack...whatever you decide to call it, there is one way to eat it. Strip it down! It’s called “string” for a reason. It’s not “chomp cheese”. It’s not “gone in two bites” cheese. It’s “string cheese”. You’re supposed to string it first, and physically stretch the cheesy goodness until the last bite…or string.
My mom’s cooking is the best, especially breakfast foods. I loved my early years when she would make me and my sibling’s breakfast each and every morning before school. Thankfully, food was the only thing that would get me up in the morning time.
these picture defines the things i love & who i am. i love being loved & being in love . i also love mexican food . im lazy person . im also inscure but really serious .
Well, why do people eat desserts? Is it because they have some sophisticated health excuse? Nope didn't think so. Most likely it's because desserts are way too good to admit. Most people actually eat desserts for one main reason: a sugar high. No, I'm not talking about snorting Pixie Stix, I'm talking about the effects on the body that sugar produces. It's quite a simple cycle, you eat sugar, boosting your energy, then you crash, so you consume more sugar.
Dieting. The claimed to be the best thing to lose weight. But what about all the "yo-yo" diets, and diets that are so incredibly bad for your body? In my opinion dieting is a failure and healthy living is your best bet to lose weight and be happy with your body. So what are the main components of being healthy? Well, you start with three pretty broad topics, for what I've learned over my lifetime I have made the conclusion that to be healthy you need between 8-10 hours of sleep a night, to exercise at least 5 days a week, and eat healthy.
Anyone who is athletic and exercises on a daily basis knows they don't perform well on a stomach full of McNuggets and French fries. But what foods exactly help you perform better?
A lot of discussion has been going on about wether or not eating should be in the 2016 summer olympics. Eating is a very competitive event and I would enjoy seeing it in the Olympic games. All countries would have a fair chance at winning a medal in this competition because everyone eats. If ping pong and synchronized swimming can make it then eating has a shot. Most Olympic athletes gorge themselves anyways in there training. So in a way excessive eating is already in Olympic sports.
I think the reason junk food tastes so good is because of the amounts of sugar and fat. One would think that because healthy food is better for you it would taste better, but for some odd reason junk food is often much sore satisfying. A lot of junk food gets gross after prolonged consumption, for me, but for a snack it sometimes just seems like the perfect food to satisfy your hunger. Personally, when I go a week or so without eating sweets or junk food I dont crave it, but when I start eating it, I begin to crave it more often.
So i read an article from time magazine, it was about why we crave fast food. I learned that if you are tired and want fast food its your bodies way of trying to get you to wake up. It is trying to intake more calories quickly to wake you up. The article also mentioned that if you get enough sleep each night you are more likely to want to eat healthier and are more likely to turn down junk food. Because sleepy brains associate junk food with happiness and pleasure. http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/06/11/why-you-crave-junk-food-when-youre-s...
