Chef Constructive Critique
Appearance
There was too much fish on the plate, the portion size was too big.
Taste/Flavor/Seasoning
The taste of the catfish was great well balanced, the sweet potato mash needed a little bit more
salt. And the mustard greens had a little bit too much lemon juice in them.
Logic/Plate presentation
The plate presentation was a little spread out, we need to keep thinking high and tight.
What did I learn today regarding this dish (use back of Page as needed.
Successes, failures, Time line issues, Adjustments
We learned that the plating of these foods need to be more thought about, the plates that we givedo not really come out very well, and we need to think more about that.

Chef Constructive Critique
Appearance
The appearance looked great the rice grains are very shiny and are still single grains not mashed
together.
Taste/Flavor/Seasoning
The taste is very good, maybe a little more salt. But other than the salt the flavor is great.
Logic/Plate presentation
There should be more shrimp on the plate, piled up on top like we had it but about 2-3 more
shrimp.
What did I learn today regarding this dish (use back of Page as needed.
Successes, failures, Time line issues, Adjustments
That making a shrimp with rice dish is very easy to make. The shrimp will get steamed if you just add them to the rice when the rice is done.

Chef Constructive Critique
Appearance
The apperance of the soup was not as dark as it should be. It looked a little grey.
Taste/Flavor/Seasoning
The flavor of the soup was amazing and tasted really good with a hint of spicy but not over
powering.
Logic/Plate presentation
The plate looked great with the pico de gallo garnish on top, it made it great.
What did I learn today regarding this dish (use back of Page as needed.
Successes, failures, Time line issues, Adjustments
I learned that making this black bean soup is very easy and the black beans pretty much just give
the soup the flavor and leave room for other things to be added like cilatro and jalepenos.

Appearance
The appearance looked good, maybe a little bit better sear on the chicken but looked good. The
chayotte was maybe in the oven a little too long.
Taste/Flavor/Seasoning
The taste of the chicken and sauce was great, and the chayote was cooked very nicely.Logic/Plate presentation
The plate presentation was pretty good maybe a little bit more color and bring the chicken so that
its not hiding underneath the roasted red peppers.
What did I learn today regarding this dish (use back of Page as needed.
Successes, failures, Time line issues, Adjustments
I learned not to try and spead things up, like the chayote, we put in the salamander and the cheese
on top got a little burnt. But also when plating up dont hide the main item on the plate which
was the chicken and it was hard to see underneath the peppers.

Southern hospitality: Big family Sunday dinners, fish frys and fish
boils, barbecues, Oyster roasts, and public feasts. Throughout the
regions history, Southern hospitality has Meant open doors, welcoming
smiles, and a feast for family, friends, and strangers. Southern cooking
came from a blend of English, Native American, and African
influences, with a mix of French and Spanish. Today it represents the
comfort food that has survived the conflicts of an emerging nation.
Alabama is The Yellowhammer State, named after the nickname for the
state bird, a colorful woodpecker called the northern flicker. The
blackberry is the state fruit, and the State Barbeque Championship takes
place in Demopolis at Christmastime. Arkansas is The Natural State,
where the state fruit and the state vegetable are the South Arkansas
vine-ripe pink tomato. Georgia is The Peach State. Georgia is known for
producing the highest-quality peaches. The state vegetable is the Vidalia
onion. Peanuts are the largest cash crop in the state. Kentucky is The
Bluegrass State. The Kentucky spotted bass is the state fish, and Old

Texas
In 1519, Spain was the first European nation to claim what is now Texas. The Spanishcame to Texas in search of a shorter route to the Far East and with hopes of finding treasurewhile they civilized and Christianized the natives. They built their first settlementin Texas: Ysleta Mission in present El Paso, established in 1681. Gradually expanding
from Mexico, the Spanish built other missions, forts, and civil settlements for nearly 150years, until Mexico threw off European rule and became independent in 1821. Duringthat time, those who came to this land survived on game that included buffalo, venison,hogs, and the native wild cattle. They learned to raise gourds, squash, sweet potatoes, andcorn. Other small grains such as oats and rye had been imported, while the settlers grewmost of the other foods that they consumed.
Planning to expand its base from French Louisiana, France planted its flag in easternTexas near the Gulf Coast. But the first colony, called Fort St. Louis, was not successfulowing to natural and political disasters that included disease, famine, and hostile Indians.For more than a decade after Mexico became independent, hardy pioneers from theHispanic south and the Anglo north flowed into Texas, a frontier for both groups. Butconflicting social and political attitudes alienated the two cultures. Texans revolted, andthey won their independence on April 21, 1836. Those who had come and survived continuedto depend on wild game and corn, though many brought familiar breeds of cattle,hogs, sheep, and poultry with them.
During nearly ten years of independence, the Texas republic endured epidemics,financial crises, and continued volatile clashes with Mexico. But it was during this periodthat unique aspects of the Texas heritage developed. Texas became the birthplace of the American cowboy; the Texas Rangers were the first to use Sam Colts remarkablesixshooters; and Sam Houston became an American ideal of rugged individualism. In contrast tothe Wild West, the eastern coast of Texas had become highly settled, with seaportsand plantations. The leading port of Galveston reflected European and Southerninfluences in its culture and cuisine, and staples such as salt, coffee, sugar, and wheatflour were brought from New Orleans to Galveston.
In 1845, Texas became the 28th state to join the United States of America. But 16years after Texas joined the Union, the American Civil War erupted. Ignoring the adviceof Governor Sam Houston to establish a neutral republic, Texas cast its lot with thedoomed Southerners, reaping devastation and economic collapse as did all Confederatestates. But two events fixed Texas and Texans as somehow different in the nations eyes.First, Texas troops on Texas soil won the final battle of the Civil War, not knowing theSouth had surrendered a month earlier. Second, returning Texans found a populationexplosion of wild Longhorns, sparking the great trail drives that became one of Americaslegends. Pushing aside the defeat and bitter reconstruction after the Civil War, the offspringof Texas pioneers marshaled their strengths to secure a future based on determined self reliance.
One of the first successes was the famous Texas Longhorn, providing beef for agrowing nation. Newly turned topsoil on vast farm acreage yielded bountiful crops. The20th century dawned with the discovery of fabulous sourcesgushers roaring at a placecalled Spindletop near Beaumont in East Texas. By the mid-20th century, modern Texasindustries were developing in a climate of advanced technology. Today, Texas horizonscontinue to expand, reaching up to the limitless reaches of outer space.

New England
New England is a region of the United States located in the northeastern
corner of the country, consisting of the modern states of Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.
In one of the earliest English settlements in the New World, English
Pilgrims fleeing religious persecution in Europe first settled in New England in
1620, in the colony of Plymouth. In the late 18th century, the New England
colonies would be among the first North American British colonies to
demonstrate ambitions of independence from the British Crown, although they
would later oppose the War of 1812 between the United States and Britain.
In the 19th century, it played a prominent role in the movement to abolishslavery in the United States, hosted the first pieces of American literature and
philosophy, was home to the beginnings of free public education, and was the
first region of the United States to be transformed by the North American
Industrial Revolution
New England's long rolling hills, mountains, and jagged coastline are a
consequence of retreating ice sheets thousands of years ago. The coast of the
region, extending from southwestern Connecticut to northeastern Maine, is
dotted with lakes, hills, swamps, and sandy beaches. Further inland are the
Appalachian Mountains, extending through Connecticut, Massachusetts,
Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Among them, in the White Mountains of
New Hampshire is Mount Washington, which at 1,917 m (6,288 ft), is the highest
peak in the northeast United States. It is also the site of the highest recorded
wind speed on Earth.[12] Vermont's Green Mountains, which become the
Berkshire Hills in western Massachusetts, are smaller than the White Mountains.
Valleys in the region include the Connecticut River Valley and the Merrimack Valley.

The Mid-Atlantic
The Mid-Atlantic States form one of the nine geographic
divisions within the United States that are officially recognized by
the United States Census Bureau. The division consists of three
states: New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.[1] This definition
corresponds with the region's traditional definition as the section of
the Atlantic Seaboard between New England and the South.
However, many people consider the Mid-Atlantic to be the states
south of the Northeast, centered in Delaware, Maryland, and
Virginia . The traditional Mid-Atlantic States comprise the most
densely-populated of the nine U.S. regions, and anchor the
megalopolis which runs from Boston to Washington, D.C. The
southeastern part of New York State, eastern Pennsylvania, and all
of New Jersey combine to form the bulk of the moral region of the
Metropolis, according to socio-political geographers James
Patterson and Peter Kim, co-authors of the 1991 book The Day
America Told The Truth. (Metropolis begins in the southern
Connecticut suburbs of New York City and stretches along the
Eastern seaboard to the suburbs of Washington, D.C.). The book
classifies the remainder of New York State and Pennsylvania in the
Rust Belt.

Floribbean
Floribbean cuisine is found in varying forms in both high-end
Florida restaurants and in the homes of many Floridians. The
essence of what makes a particular dish "Floribbean" is similar to
many other aspects of Florida culture: that it is heavily influenced
by visitors and immigrants from all over the world, but especially
from the Caribbean (with notable influence from The Bahamas,
Barbados, Jamaica, and Haiti) and the American South. In the case of
Southern Florida in particular, a subdivision called Latino-
Floribbean cuisine also takes Latino cuisine traits from such
countries as Mexico, Cuba, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic,
adding further influences. The migration of Asian workers to
replace the freed African slaves have played an important role in
Floribbean cuisine. Asian inspired foods and cooking habits have
made Floribbean cuisine more healthy in the foods used and the
cooking of those foods. It has also lead to produce an even more
exotic spice pantry. Red curry, lemongrass, ginger, scallions and all,
have become as commonly used today in Floribbean cookery as
grits and grunts are in other parts of Florida.

Louisiana
This is a style of cooking originating in Louisiana (centered on
the Greater New Orleans area) that blends French, Mediterranean,
French Caribbean, African, and American influences. It also bears
hallmarks of Italian cuisine. It is vaguely similar to Cajun cuisine in
ingredients (such as the holy trinity), but the important distinction
is that Cajun cuisine arose from the more rustic, provincial French
cooking adapted by the Acadians to Louisiana ingredients, whereas
the cooking of the Louisiana Creoles tended more toward classical
European styles adapted to local foodstuffs. Broadly speaking, the
French influence in Cajun cuisine is descended from various French
Provincial cuisines of the peasantry, while Creole cuisine evolved in
the homes of well-to-do aristocrats, or those who imitated their
lifestyle. Although the Creole cuisine is closely identified with New
Orleans culture today, much of it evolved in the country plantation
estates so beloved of the pre-Civil War Creoles. (Despite its
aristocratic French roots, Creole cuisine does not include Gard-
Manger or other extremely lavish styles of the Classical Paris
cuisine.)

Central plains
Corn is the foundation on which ancient civilizations, such as the Maya and the
Aztec,were built. Throughout the 19th century, the size of the corn crop increased as the settlers
moved into the western territories. In the mid-1800s, a new hybrid, called Reids Yellow
Dent, began to be widely cultivated in the Midwest. By 1882, people were referring to the
corn-producing states of the Midwest as the Corn Belt. Over 85 percent of all corn
grown is called dent corn, or field corn, and is used primarily to feed animals and livestock,
making it an important American commodity. From 1877 through 1920,American
horticulturists developed many new hybrids that became standard on the countrys farms.
In 1950, Dr. J. R. Laughnam of the University of Illinois discovered some very sweet strains
of corn. In the 1960s, Dr. A. M. Rhodes, also at the University of Illinois, developed an even
sweeter corn. Mature sweet corn is eaten fresh, boiled and buttered. It is found frozen and
canned. Corn is also used to make products such as ethanol, corn syrup, and corn oil.
Wheat is a grain that was brought to America by the European colonists. It is a grass
whose seed belongs to the cereal grains group, and it contains gluten, the basic structure
for forming doughs for breads, rolls, and other baked goods. Due to difficulties in cultivation,
wheat was not a major crop until the end of the 19th century, when Turkey Red
Winter Wheat began to grow well in the Central Plains.The growth and development of
wheat crops in the Central Plains are attributed to Mennonite farmers. people were referring to
the corn-producing states of the Midwest as the Corn Belt. Over 85 percent of all corn
grown is called den
