Our class will go to Gunshow restaurant for a private food demo on Monday night, 24 March. I am getting very excited about this upcoming event because I can get to know more about this distinctive American restaurant and its chef Kevin and his ideology about foodways.
The uniqueness about Gunshow is its randomness and uncertainty on its menu. From all our previous knowledge on restaurants, the menus are generally fixed on small brochures, and are shown to guests when they are seated. However, at Gunshow, their menu is not fixed but changing weekly. The contents of their weekly menu all depend on the chef’s inspirations. The randomness and uncertainty of their menu is a great strategy to attract new customers and get old customers back, because it is innovative and creative, providing freshness and novelty on the dishes that will be come out.
Gunshow’s website homepage is full of country and villatic atmosphere. They use a brown picture, which looks like a picnic table, as the background of the website. This emphasizes its closeness to nature and originality, which corresponds to the ideology of a visible and open kitchen. Yes, their kitchen is open to all customers in which we are able to see their entire cooking process. This openness uncovers the nature of all ingredients they use to cook the dishes, and therefore showing to customers all ingredients and condiments. Through this customers are able to have very clear ideas on whether they want have the dishes or not. This creative way of serving is also appealing to me.
At its website, the font of the words is different from section to section. The choices of the font appear to be novel, interesting, and at will, which further demonstrates their ideology of creativity and randomness.
Through some research about Gunshow, their primary goal is to create a distinctive dinner experience different from traditional American dinner experiences. In Kevin’s opinion, a good dinner experience not only depends on delicious food but also depends on an enjoyable eating environment. The visible kitchen is supposed to drag customers closer to the chefs and make customers feel more welcomed.
