Participating in this blog has forced me to read up on trends and fads in the restaurant industry. I might not have kept completely up to date had I not had this assignment. This blogging has made me read more and be able to react more on a certain topic. I was able to share my thoughts on an article while my group member shared is/her thoughts on their article find. Then we commented on each others posts and we had full discussions about the topics. This allowed me to become more educated in the industry without flipping through a magazine or a newspaper.
Blogging is a very interactive task. Every blog that was done had to be commented on by the three other group members. This made each person in the group blog four times each week for four weeks. This totaled sixteen blogs per person. To be completely honest, after the first four, they kind of became monotonous. The task was to blog about the same topic and there are only so many articles on Green and Sustainability in the Fine Dining atmosphere. After the first few, you kind of run out of things to talk about. Also, it gets harder and harder each time to argue for one side because everything has already been brought up. I found that my blogs were all quite similar in nature and that the main point of each was, in context, the same.
Overall, the experience was fun and exciting. It kept me on my toes and aware of what was happening in the industry today. I will definitely continue to read articles and keep up on trends and fads in the industry. I will not continue to blog about my findings but I will be aware of my surroundings. This blog is very interesting. I have always been interested and involved in wine(s), and wine making, as well as beer. This blog is updated often with information on food, wine, beer and more. This blog would be a great one to start following after this class ends. Hopefully I can keep up with the trends and fads in industry now that I have all the resources in front of me at my disposal.
