Class reading

Overall, the text I enjoyed the most was the article “Consider the Lobster”. I throughly enjoyed the point of view David Foster Wallace employed in describing the lobster festival by writing a review in a surprisingly different manner than most reviews use. He addresses topics that are often forgotten, such as how different methods of preparation affect the lobster, which are often not thought of when being commissioned to describe a annual food festival.

The text that shifted my interest in food writing is a food blog called “Lady and Pups”. Having read countless texts for the various class assignments, this one stuck with me and ended up being my main inspirational mentor text. I have experienced a vast variety of food writing styles over the course of the semester and this is the one I thought spoke to me the most. The satirical and humor filled language drew me and and peaked my interest the most.
