After browsing around the retail store for a moment, we were taken to our table given a menu, and then asked our drink order. With the arrival of our drinks the waitress took our meal selections in which she extended to us some of the menus daily specials. Once the food arrived I notice that it was not our waitress who bought over the order but someone else.

Stephanie Ilardi Written Assignment #1 Culinary Externship November 19, 2014 Banquet And Catering When going out to eat or attending a banquet, people rarely think about the hard work that is put in to create the wonderful dining experience that they enjoy. The average consumer fails to consider the countless hours of slaving over a stove, dicing hundreds of vegetables, and most of all striving to make sure that every single detail of the experience is perfect. The two most common styles of dining are “A La Carte” and “banquet style” dining. People rarely think about the major differences in the techniques and procedures used to create these two unique but very different dining options. Personally I thought that there wasn’t much of a difference between the two until I attended CIA, and furthermore, until I experienced both first hand while working at The Round Hill Country Club.
Once the food is delivered and all the extra requests of the guests have been fulfilled, the server then steps away from the table, allowing time to eat and have conversation without being overly interruptive.

There are so many delicious and diverse restaurants in the Pittsburgh area that I have been lucky enough to dine and experience. These restaurants range from family restaurants like Pittsburgh’s very own Eat n’ Park, to more romantic places like The LeMont, a restaurant atop of Mt. Washington with one of the best views of Pittsburgh. As for me, my favorite restaurant is Buca di Beppo. Any time I am given the opportunity to pick where my family will go out to dinner, I never have to think twice!
