Shrimp Sauce “Bizarre Food” is a TV show about gross, unique, bizarre regional cuisine from around the world. In that show, Andrew Zimmern, the bald and hilarious guy, travels to many countries, searches for strange kinds of local food, typically shows how the food is procured, where it is served and, usually without hesitation, eats it. He ate fresh meat, snakes, ants, scorpions, maggots…. He came to my country Vietnam and ate snails with fish sauce in that episode of the show. I was amazed by his braveness in taste but I thought our traditional food still had more challenges for him with one of the most popular kinds of sauce.
Last night, I watched the most recent episode of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. One of the segments was dedicated to a clip of Obama speaking during his campaign in 2007, where he supposedly made some racist comments and was supporting class warfare. Jon Stewart’s segment pulled out a clip from FOX News, where the anchor made a comment along the lines of “People are saying this has already been reported on, but I know it hasn’t because I reported on it the first time.” This clip was the central focus of the segment because of the sheer stupidity of his comment, let alone the fact that he contradicted himself by claiming something hadn’t been done and then saying he did it. I think the piece was negative, because it was meant to portray FOX
The Paesano was featured on the Food Networks “Throw down with Bobby Flay.”(Baynes) “Throw down with Bobby Flay” is a show where Bobby Flay challenges other chef’s to their special recipes. I never saw the show for Paesano’s but watched Flay vs. Tony Luke’s cheese steak. For all the pork lovers, Paesano’s offers the Arista. The Arista contains whole roasted suckling pig along with Italian long hots, broccoli rabe and sharp provolone (Baynes). If you enjoy spicy
The filmmakers of "Who Killed Vincent Chin" then cut to the cook at the bar flipping hamburgers that the group of men are about to enjoy. This shot is depicted as soon as the group of men mention the word "labor," as if to show them being hypocritical; they do not
Be Cool to the Pizza Dude “Be Cool to the Pizza Dude” by Sarah Adams, is about how everyone should be nice to the pizza delivery guy because then you will have good luck. She discusses several things in her short story, including staying calm while driving, the need to take any job just for the money, doing honest work, and practice equality as a pizza delivery guy. The first topic Sarah Adams discusses is how to remain calm when the pizza delivery guy is driving. She says delivery people will frequently cut her off, neglect to use blinkers when changing lanes. However, Adams remarks that he (the pizza dude) is on a journey and everyone should let him pass safely to deliver his pizzas to the many that have ordered.
When Buggin’ Out sits down to have a slice of pizza he notices Sal’s “Wall of Fame” only has pictures of famous Italian Americans. Buggin’ Out confronts Sal, and tells him why there are no “Brothers on the wall.” Without hesitation, Sal responds with hate towards Buggin’ Out: “You want brothers on the wall? Get your own place; you can do what you want to do. You can put your brothers and uncles and nieces and nephews, your stepfather, stepmother, whoever you want. But this is my pizzeria.
When President Obama moved to the White House, a Five Guys staffer suggested sending him a T-shirt. “That’s cheap!” Murrell shot back. Playing coy worked, and soon Obama, trailed by TV cameras, stopped by a store. He ordered a cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, fresh jalapeños, and mustard — a classic example of Five Guys’ formula that sells 2 million burgers a week and was named Zagat’s “best fast food burger” for 2010. For this reporter, evaluating the burger first-hand was problematic: I’ve been a vegetarian for more than a dozen years.
Next morning when Jim finds out that Alena is an extremist vegetarian, he does not hesitate to lie about being a vegetarian also. The author uses verbal irony to show his desire to identify with her. “I don’t eat meat myself, […] or actually, not anymore’ – since the pastrami sandwich, that is- […]” (Boyle 573). Jim surprises not only the reader, but also himself when he finds himself marching down the street with a placard and even later gets knocked out by a former kick boxer chauffeur. Jim’s actions are exactly the opposite with what the reader is led to expect from the description of Jim and his fondness of meat.
To fully get the attention of the reader on the subject of television, the author had to do excessive research, especially on the ancient of the television. Neil Postman has so many facts to back up his argument; he even goes back to the 19th century. Readers can now have the same argument as Postman bring in the book; he gives enough facts that as a class we can have a discussion (argument). Postman, I don’t believe he uses Pathos; it’s more the emotional change that the people take from reading this book that changes the emotion of what they think the television media has done to society. But isn’t what Postman used.
He often begins his writing with (or has in the second paragraph) a joke that he refers to in the end of his work. For example, he prefaced his trip to the pro-Obama bake sale with the fact that as a journalist, he is not supposed to support candidates financially. At the end, he framed his article by mentioning he bought $8 worth of baked goods, and would like to donate the same to a pro-Romney hedge fund (because he believes there are no Romney bake
