When thinking about places to observe I wanted to go to one that always had a decent amount of people going through it throughout the day. This is why I chose to observe Dutch's. The restaurant has a large variety of people and to be honest another reason was that it's close and I wouldn't have to drive anywhere.
Now the question is when to observe. I think the best time to observe would be when there are a lot of people going in and out of Dutch's either around lunch or dinner time. This is why I plan on going there on Thursday around 5:30 or 6:00 p.m., this will give me a good feel for the dinner crowd. I am also planning on going to Dutch's on Saturday around noon to get an idea of how the restaurant is run around lunch time.
From the few times that I have been to Dutch's I have always been satisfied with my visit. I believe this is because it has a very welcoming feel. The employees there are nice and the food is nothing to complain about. I think by observing this place my thoughts about it will only be reassured.

Cameron, This definitely sounds like an interesting topic to consider. I've only ever eaten there at lunch time, so I'm curious to hear about the differences between then and dinner/happy hour. It'll also be interesting to see if you figure out what rhetorical strategies might contribute to the 'welcoming feel' you mention. The proposal looks good.
ReplyDeleteI have only been to Dutch's a few times, but it seems like a very interesting place. I know that they have that side bar and I am curious if people actually go there to watch sports games and enjoy a drink? I think it would be interesting to discover whether most people just go there to grab a quick bite to eat, or actually stay there and enjoy the atmosphere.
