Throughout this course I have learned so much about how important food is to who we are. Of course we focused primarily on Mexican food, which means that a lot of that knowledge came from researching and eating (yay!) lots of Mexican food.

The Plantation
So recently I have become aware that when my grandpa’s family came to America from Poland, they opened a Polish restaurant in the heart of downtown Chicago. I have decided to do my final project about his experiences at the restaurant and with polish food, but before I dive into the research, this realization really…
Pico de Gallo
I think you all know this by now, but I consider myself to be a sauce girl. That means that when I make pasta, I smother it in tomato sauce, when I eat rice, I drown it in soy sauce, and when I eat tacos, I bury them in salsa. To put it in perspective…

However, about once a year, I experience an undeniable craving for a burger. You…

The Quarantine Blues
As I sit at home for what seems like the hundredth day in a row, I can’t help but look back and see all of my old food pictures and videos and bum myself out. It is so easy to take advantage of the freedom that we have in our day to day lives, then…
