HUM 320 - American Eateries Observation Project and
Paper.pdf
American Eateries Observation Project and Paper
Project is worth 20% of your grade.
This observation project is an opportunity for students to apply
their understanding of concepts such as
gender, class and race/ethnicity that are used by
Anthropologists in studies of people across the world.

6. In their daily life choices, human beings construct social
identities for themselves that become
expressed through food, dress, and sociability and who they
socialize with.
You should go to a restaurant or cafeteria of your choosing, at
least three times, and observe the
people. You should look for the following:
a) The interplay of gender roles and norms, observable in how
people dress, their habits of speech
and communication with each other, and other behaviors. Did
you see a rite of passage in
which gender roles are heightened, such as a family party or a
romantic date? Sometimes,
expressions of sexuality are also observable. Often power
dynamics are present in
male/females relations. How were the power dynamics
expressed? See in the Culture Counts
textbook, pp. 237-252.
b) How socioeconomic class is constructed, again observable by
how people dress, their speech
patterns, and how they interact with each other. See in the
Culture Counts textbook, pp. 185-

7. 195. One question you ask yourself is how are these people
expressing or maybe suppressing
their status and prestige? Often people express their social
status through expensive clothes
and jewelry, or with their use of a smart-phone, or by the way
they talk to the employees of the
restaurant.
c) What ethnic groups were present? How did people’s ethnic
identity shape how they acted and
interacted with others at the restaurant? An example would be
if the people spoke a certain
language or dialect, or dressed a certain way. When race and
ethnic differences were present,
how did the people deal with each other? Were inter-racial
families and relationships present?
See in the Culture Counts textbook, pp. 198-209.
d) Maybe the forces of globalization and transnationalism factor
into the particular restaurant
where you are doing your observations. Does the restaurant
represent cuisine from another
country? Are the customers from other countries? How about
the employees? An example

8. would be if you chose an Asian Indian restaurant, and it is clear
that the people working there
are from India. How are they adapting themselves and their
food for the consumption of
mainstream Americans? How is a tourist from another country
adapting themselves to an
American eatery?
You should take notes on your observations either while you are
in the restaurant or shortly after you
leave. You should not speak to the people, nor find out their
names. This project is strictly
observational. The people should remain anonymous in your
paper.
The paper should be at least 6 pages long, double-spaced, and
typed in 12 point font. You should cover
a) thru c) in the above outline and d) globalization, if it is
present, along with any other pertinent social
characteristics such as age, maybe religion, maybe sexuality,
and regional identity (rural or urban). The
following rubric provides an outline for how your paper should
be organized.

9. Grading Rubric and Outline for the project paper: Total points
possible is 20 points.
I. The Introduction: Describe the eatery and the
kind of people you observed there. What kind of
place is it? Where is the eatery located? What are
the typical kind of people you observe there - such
as working class males, students, elderly, families,
multi-ethnic or a certain ethnicity, etc? Briefly
note the highlights from your observations – that
is, summarize what you observed in general about
gender, class and race/ethnicity.
3 points possible, based upon:
- How well did you describe the eatery, its
location, and the people there?
- How well did you present the highlights
from your observations on gender, class,
race/ethnicity and other relevant social
characteristics?
II. The body of your paper should deal with two
distinct sets of observations that describe the
people and analyze the interplay of social identity
(gender, class and race/ethnicity) and behavior.
That is, you should have observations from two
different sets of people and their interactions. You
should write the descriptive part as vignettes
(short stories) describing your observations with
the details. After each vignette, provide an
analysis of how gender, class and ethnicity came
into play and were expressed.

10. 10 points possible, based upon:
- Did you cover two sets of observations?
- How well you described the social
situations with details important for your
analysis.
- Quality of the analysis – determined by
how well you used the concepts of gender,
class, race/ethnicity, and other relevant
concepts such as sexuality or globalization
in analyzing the social situations.
III. The conclusion: What did you learn about
gender, class and ethnicity from this observational
project? How did it make you more aware of the
different components of your own social identity?
4 points possible, based upon:
- Did your conclusion provide insights on
gender, class, and race/ethnicity, and what
you learned about the everyday social
construction of identity in America (and in
Connecticut)?
- Did you write yourself into the project by
self-reflection upon how you construct
your social identity?
Formatting - You should proof the paper and edit it
for writing errors and quality of writing. Wherever
you quote from the textbook or other sources, you
should provide an in-text citation. An example of
an in-text citation for quoted material from the

11. textbook is - (Nanda and Warms, 2015, p. 198). If
you do quote or paraphrase from sources that are
not the textbook, then add a bibliography at the
end of your paper.
3 points possible, based upon:
- Was the paper carefully proofed for
writing errors and grammatical mistakes?
- Was the paper edited for conciseness and
the development of sentences and
paragraphs, and organized well for logical
flow?
- Were citations provided for quoted
material?

Outline
Living in Milford, Connecticut gives me the opportunity to
choose my favorite local restaurant, Rainbow Garden, as the
topic for my current project. The restaurant serves American
cuisine with the opportunity for many healthy eating options. It
is typically an eatery where women favor to meet up and enjoy.
Since this restaurant was established in the early 1990's, it is in
keeping with current market trends, yet it still maintains signs
of respect for tradition. I picked this restaurant because of its
cozy and charming looks with an authentic New England feel. It
is located in a historic home with a deck, and the dining room
windows face the Milford Green. The inside of the restaurant is
decorated with antiques and collectibles that attract a woman's

12. touch in decor. It is a sit-down, comfortable, casually dressed,
mid-level priced restaurant. I visit Rainbow Garden Restaurant
approximately twice a month. My last visit was on Wednesday
of this week with this project in mind. The restaurant is easily
accessible, gives me a sense of security, and the food is tasty,
reasonably priced, and takes into consideration health options
such as low sodium, vegan, and low-fat. Rainbow Garden
Restaurant outside looks like it is a small house, but inside is
composed of many different rooms sometimes used for small
family dinner parties. This Restaurant also has a bar with big
windows looking at downtown green. Overall it gives me a big
observation area with different settings.
The location attracts residents from the shoreline community
representative of a white class socioeconomic group from
suburbia. Connecticut's shoreline demographics primarily
consists of educated middle-class professionals, (about 88%)
with a small slice of varying ethnic groups (about 12%).
Rainbow Garden is an eatery where you may also view a group
of professionals having an excellent lunch that is not
overpriced, along with healthy eating options, in a comfortable
environment where it is easy to discuss business. This type of
restaurant one would typically not find urban New Haveners.
The clientele is typically formed by a group of local populations
just having a nice lunch or dinner with their significant others
or families. It is definitely a safe, comfortable, healthful place
for people of any middle-class gender. Since this restaurant sits
in small New England town, you will not find a large, diverse
population that would be more likely in a restaurant located in
New York City. It is also unlikely to be able to observe at this
eatery dynamics such as trans-nationalism or globalization since
it appeals to a small town white suburban demographic.
