Red lobster one of the most welœ-known seafood places out right now it has manny locations and is very popular but like everything in this world it has its ups and downs. for example, according to someone on yelp the service was really bad and really slows. This tells me that people do not really like red lobster i even found that people think a lot of the food on the menu is overpriced and that the shrimp “ does not taste american “ i think that people expect high quality food and when they go to red lobster they don’t get that when they go there though they get overpriced food that doesn't taste as good as they expected to.They have a lot of shrimp one of the shrimp options is endless shrimp but it only happens on monday. They have every shrimp option you could think of just to name a few popcorn shrimp, lemon garlic shrimp, normal shrimp and many other varieties of shrimp this is why a lot of people eat there.
TGI Sushi a very popular sushi restaurant it is also very well known it is a 4 star restaurant and by looking at the reviews they have some pretty good food the top reviews on yelp are 5-4 stars and really nothing bad is said about them. One very popular sushi place it is well known to many people and really is a place that people go to a lot. When i looked at the reviews they were mostly good in fact almost all of them were good. Boiling crab also one very popular seafood restaurant has very good reviews from 5-4 stars on tripadvisor and 4 stars on yelp i've personally only been there once but by looking at the reviwes Boiling crab looks and sounds good most of the revews on both tripadvisor and yelp are mostly 5 star reviews. The price of the food is an ok price for the quality of the food . Tomi it has 4 stars of tripadvisor and only 3 stars on yelp looking at both websites it looks like the average is around 4-3 stars now i didn't really expect for this place to rank very high in stars or reviews because it is a buffet and that means the food comes out quick and will not be very well cooked because of how fast they have to get the food out. Bubba Gumps a very well known restaurant this is not because of the food or anything like that it is popular because of the movie forest gump in fact the whole restaurant is forest gump themed there is a lot of stuff in the restaurant that is based off the movie. When i am in san francisco that is one of the go to places forme i always go there when i'm hungry. Of course that is just my opinion but if you where ever to go to san francisco. By: Eduardo Yanez Everyone in their life must have tasted pizza at least once, but not everyone gets to eat quality pizza. Here in San Jose, there are many pizzerias, each having their own distinct taste and style. I have eaten at these five places and can vouch that these are the top five best pizza places in San Jose. For my top choice Mountain Mike’s Pizza takes the spot, my second choice is Round Table, in my third spot I chose Pizza Hut, for my fourth, it’s the New York pizza, and last but not least MOD Pizza. Mountain Mike’s Pizza takes the top spot by far because of how well the bread is toasted. The toppings are cooked to a fine point, for example, the pepperoni on the pizza comes out really toasty and juicy. Mountain Mike’s Pizza gives off a family type of vibe whether you dine in or get the pizza to go. The second best place of pizza in San Jose is Round Table. Round Table does a really good job of providing you with good quality, hot pizza in a small slice. The pizza taste great, the service at the table Round Table could have easily taken first place if it weren’t for their prices. ![]() The third spot on this list is Pizza Hut. Pizza Hut not only delivers in a reasonable amount of time but also the food is delivered hot and ready. In the fourth spot I would have to say New York’s Pizza. New York’s Pizza is in fourth because it delivers decent tasting pizza, but in large quantities. The slices of a King Kong sized pizza are almost triple the size of a regular slice of pizza. ![]() And last but not least, in fifth place I would have to say MOD Pizza. MOD Pizza is in fifth place not because it is bad, but because you are the creator of your own pizza. It would be unfair to rate MOD Pizza as first simply because you can make your own pizza. There are a few complaints about MOD Pizza, however. If you’re up to date with most YouTube, Instagram, or Twitter trends you’ve most likely heard of mukbangs. The word mukbang (먹는) is short for the words “eating” and “live broadcast show” in Korean. Mukbangs can feature any type of food the person filming would like to eat, but in huge amounts. These YouTubers also engage with audiences while eating and may sometimes include ASMR (Autonomous sensory meridian response) which includes chewing sounds, crunching sounds, light tapping, and much more. Ever since the trend originated in Korea, a lot of other countries (especially America) have tried to ride the popularity wave that comes with doing these types of videos as well. Some popular mukbang Youtubers are Dorothy, MissMangoButt, hyuneeEats, KEEMI, and Yuka Kinoshita. A lot of the time people watch mukbang videos for the sounds, or because they’re also eating at the moment and would like to feel some sort of company while eating. There are also some YouTubers who stream around lunch and dinner time, to interact with their subscribers a lot more. It is important to keep in mind that there are different types of mukbang videos out there floating around and it is difficult to see the differences at first. There are mukbangs where there are challenges, so the person broadcasting will try to finish said amount of food within a time frame. There are also mukbangs that mostly focus on the ASMR side of things, meaning there won’t be a lot of interacting as there will be crunching noises, and these types often include weird foods such as crunchy ice or anything that is deep fried. Another mukbang is one that shows the process of making the food(s) that will be eaten throughout the video (if it isn’t fast food or already ordered) a lot of YouTubers make their own mukbang foods and even leave recipes in the description for subscribers to follow if they later crave what was shown. The last type of mukbang is the good old original where there is just a large amount of food ordered from a restaurant and they are simply eating it while answering questions or talking about their day.

I think that the reason mukbangs are popular is because of the loneliness that a lot of Americans feel nowadays. In a study done by UCLA, it shows that half of americans feel lonely or feel like their relationships aren’t meaningful enough. 56% of people said the people they surround themselves around “are not necessarily with them”, and about 40% said they “lack companionship,” their “relationships aren’t meaningful,” and that they feel “isolated from others.” This amount of loneliness among americans makes it obvious that a lot of them eat most of their meals alone, in fact, 57% of meals are eaten alone. People who feel like they’re lonely now use social media and other entertainment platforms to hide it. Humans need to interact with others to live, no matter if you think you hate people or you’re antisocial, everyone craves some kind of friendship. Since this is not always available people start watching others that share their lives online to make it seem like they are actually interacting and know this person like an old friend. Since a large majority of meals are eaten alone, what better thing to do than to watch a mukbang to make it seem like you’re just catching up or chatting with an old friend? It gives some people that aren’t fortunate enough to have friends that sort of “daily dose of human interaction”. I don’t really see anything wrong with this trend, on the contrary, I thinks it nice since people that don’t have company often now have something to make them feel less lonely. A lot of people have been hating on the trend though, saying it encourages gluttony, eating disorders, and isolates people from face to face conversations. It’s good to have your own opinion, but I’m pretty sure the people watching are aware that this is just someone who’s trying to have a good time. It’s their own decision what they want to do with their body. In brief, mukbangs are a way to enjoy yourself when you find yourself alone instead of pitying yourself. Since loneliness among Americans is pretty high it make sense that this would be a big trend here, watching someone else eat their food while talking to their viewers distracts them from their lonesome times. Mukbangs are definitely an interesting genre to explore if you’re looking for something new. |
