Food Tech
Food Technology Food Critics
The year 9/10B Food Technology students played the role of food critics on a recent excursion to a well-known local café. In learning about the role of food critics, the students rated and reviewed their experience in terms of ambience, service, food quality, their meal’s nutritional content and value for money. Each student then gave an overall score and made a recommendation for the general public.
As well as this practical aspect to the food critic experience, the students also learned about the origin of the Michelin Stars Awards; a system that can make or break a restaurant’s reputation. And yes, these awards were initiated by the Michelin tyre company. All in an effort in the early 1900s to encourage people to drive out and visit restaurants so that, you guessed it, the demand for car tyres would increase!
