Local Restaurants

For my semester project in Appalachian Literatureover the course of April, I’ll be studying how local restaurants support and contribute to the community of Appalachia. To present my project, I’ll be making a video filmed from my iPhone to give a relaxed and casual feel. I’m planning on filming interviews with local restaurant owners asking questions that put local restaurants in a positive light. My friend Lucas is helping me film approximately five interviews from five different restaurants. Hopefully, since I work at a restaurant, I will be able to show how little chain restaurants affect the Appalachian culture as well. To apply the actual literature aspect, I’m looking into articles or blog posts online to help guide me and prove my point.
