CNF; A Meal To Remember
Cattlemens , western, country, olden days, south, plad shirts, anything you could ever need, they got it. Pictures of cowboys on their horses, wagons, the smell seasoned meat, the smell nobody can resist. The second the creaky wooden doors opened, a man or woman in a western outfit would take you to your table, set you down, give you menus and tell you about who your waiter would be. On the menu would be these crazy items, meals like "the sherif" or "the deputy". Other country western names, I ordered the filet mingon, with a side of mashed potatoes. Just saying my order to the waitress made my mouth water, I ordered milk to drink, the chilled milk to wash down the loafs of sourdough bread that is brought to you to snack on before your meal; after what seemed like forever our waitress brought out our meals, steam rising off the plates, the waiter set them down on the wooden table and read off what was on her tray. "filet mingon?" she asked, "me" I replied, the perfect 6oz steak, mashed potatoes, and a piece of Cale was placed perfectly on my clean white plate. I placed my square maroon napkin on my lap, picked up my fork and my steak knife and cut into the juicy, melt-in-your-mouth filet. A meal that my taste buds will never forget.

Kelsey, first of all this made me hungry. But some suggestions would be to describe the steak and mashed potatoes in more detail when you are ordering it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, explain the service and environment so it is really easy to picture.
This is a good food review. I like how you described the resteraunt in great detail. An improvement would be to describe your meal with more detail.
ReplyDeleteI liked how you used all senses to describe how the place was and what the food was like, that's what held this piece together. But I don't feel like you talked about the food enough; the piece just ends with the beginning of the meal. Maybe try to extend the writing into more detail of why the filet mignon was so good. Great writing!
ReplyDeletei really liked the the details you used on the melt in your mouth steak. you had very good visual words to help the reader picture everything in the story. I think you can probably find a better place for the milk part because it came to me as random. Overall i want cattlemans now. good story :)
