Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study challenges the uncritical equation of advancement with success. As a participant observer at a family-style restaurant in New Jersey, the autho reveals the strategies that experienced waitresses employ to improve their own positions rather than aspiring toward management. Through the voices of some aggressive, determined, tough, and resilient women, the author confronts stereotypical characterizations of waitresses. The author finds that certain unique features of the restaurant industry the tipping system, chaotic work environment, chronic shortages of labor and supplies, and the manager's role as a fill-in man allow waitresses to manipulate their work environment to protect their own interests. The downgrading of the managerial role in this restaurant has rendered advancement meaningless. Knowing that the 'help wanted' sign is permanently posted, the waitresses refuse to submit to management's dictates, to 'take junk' from rude or hostile customers, or to internalize the negative self-image usually associated with waitressing. The colorful and often amusing comments by the women the author interviewed indicate that they have developed an arsenal of subtle but undeniably effective tactics to combat the exploitive elements of the job, to maximize tips, and to secure the boss' attention to their needs.

Download or read book Dishing It Out written by Robert Appelbaum and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2011-12-20 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the hamburger haven to the temple of gastronomy, the restaurant is a fixture of modern life. But why is that so? What needs has the restaurant come to satisfy, and what needs has it come to impose upon the experience of the modern world? In Dishing It Out, Robert Appelbaum travels around America and Europe and through the annals of literature and history to explore the social meaning of the restaurant—and to discover what we ought to be asking of the restaurant experience today. Since its founding in pre-Revolutionary France, the restaurant has always inspired contradictory feelings and served contradictory purposes. It has stood for a kind of liberation: the embrace of pleasure and sociability for their own sake. But it has also encouraged narcissistic consumerism at the cost of the exploitation of restaurant workers, and the self-deception of restaurant-goers. Drawing on the work of such writers as Grimod de la Reynière, Jean-Paul Sartre, Isak Dinesen and M.F.K. Fisher, and sampling fare from macaroni cheese in workaday London to oysters and sausages in seaside France, Appelbaum argues that though restaurants are inherently problematic as social institutions, they are characteristic of who and what we are. They are expressions of what we need as human beings. And for that reason, though they contribute to inequality they can also be used to promote the interests of cultural democracy. A unique rethinking of the restaurant experience, at once entertaining and learned, Dishing it Out is an important contribution to our knowledge of food, literature, history and society.

Download or read book Dishing It Out written by Dorothy Cobble and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1992-09 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back when SOS or Adam and Eve on a raft were things to order if you were hungry but a little short on time and money, nearly one-fourth of all waitresses belonged to unions. By the time their movement peaked in the 1940s and 1950s, the women had developed a distinctive form of working-class feminism, simultaneously pushing for equal rights and pay and affirming their need for special protections. Dorothy Sue Cobble shows how sexual and racial segregation persisted in wait work, but she rejects the idea that this was caused by employers' actions or the exclusionary policies of male trade unionists. Dishing It Out contends that the success of waitress unionism was due to several factors: waitresses, for the most part, had nontraditional family backgrounds, and most were primary wage-earners. Their close-knit occupational community and sex-separate union encouraged female assertiveness and a decidedly unromantic view of men and marriage. Cobble skillfully combines oral interviews and extensive archival records to show how waitresses adopted the basic tenets of male-dominated craft unions but rejected other aspects of male union culture. The result is a book that will expand our understanding of feminism and unionism by including the gender conscious perspectives of working women.

Download or read book Dishing with Style written by Rori Trovato and published by Three Rivers Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you can combine great taste with beautiful presentation, well, that's when you captivate family and guests. And coming up with creative and clever styling and entertaining ideas as well as delicious food is what Rori Trovato has been doing in the pages of national magazines for years. Now she shares her secrets in DISHING WITH STYLE. The basic conceit of the book is so simple: share a great recipe and show two different ways of presenting it But it's the execu- tion that counts and Rori's ideas are just delightful. She starts with drinks (isn't the cocktail party the most basic form of enter- taining?) and offers a host of ideas. The dusting of cinnamon on those chubby marshmallows in the hot chocolate does make a difference in appearance, but why not go elegant, and serve cocoa in an oversized brandy snifter on a Tiffany blue napkin and truly delight your guests? Limeade in a glass? Sure, but why not in hollowed-out lime shells, set into a bed of ice? Rori takes us through hors d'oeuvre, starters and first courses, main courses, side dishes, and desserts, offering spectacular ideas all along the way. Delicious salads that look equally beautiful plated or presented family style. Butter-roasted chicken is presented classically, heaped with herbs and vegetables to be carved at table, but Rori then shows readers how to adapt the recipe to game hens a forest of little legs and wings that guests can help themselves to. DISHING WITH STYLE is packed with secrets that only a stylist can share. How do you get that neat mound of spaghetti in the center of the plate? What's the best way to get clean wedges of cheesecake onto a dessert plate? How do you choose fruits and herbs and vegetables to make your food look as good as that in a magazine. Rori answers all this and more.
