Would you want to work for Anthony Bourdain?

Would you want to work for Anthony Bourdain in one of his restaurants? Why or why not? Think about how he is at the end of the book -- not as a drug addict/alcoholic. What do you think? Is his restaurant the kind of environment you would want to work in? Is it the type of place you could succeed? Remember be specific and detailed in your blog. Due Wednesday, October 26th before class begins.

Kitchen Confidential is ______________ Part II

For this week’s blog, build on what you started last week. Last week, you wrote one body paragraph describing the book _Kitchen Confidential_ by Anthony Bourdain. This week, write the second body paragraph. Think of another way to describe the book. Write a topic sentence and then develop your topic sentence with evidence from the book. Be sure to print out your paragraph and proofread it carefully. When you are satisfied with both the content (use the grading rubric for this) and grammar (have done your very best to write grammatically correct sentences), use the two topic sentences to write a blue print thesis. Up load this new paragraph and thesis statement to your blog for this week’s assignment. Add the thesis to the end of your blog. These must be posted BEFORE Friday’s class.
