During my free time, when I am not teaching or grading, I like to watch The Food Network channel on TV. My favorite show is called "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives." The host of this show is Guy Fieri, a zany, outgoing chef who has bleached, spiky hair! On his show, he travels the country to find the best places to dine. He speaks to the owner of each restaurant and discusses secret recipes, cooks the most well known dishes, and of course, tastes them! Watching this show while I am trying to eat healthy is torturous at times. When the food is cooking, I can almost smell it through the television! Even though the food can be tantalizing, I still like watching the show because I can learn about the customs and cultures in other states, and maybe get some ideas for a road trip in the future!

I haven't seen the show more than once or twice. I am glad that you enjoy it. There are many great places to eat across the US that are hidden gems. I really enjoy the Elias Coe, which is up by my brother in North Jersey.
ReplyDeleteThe entry is good but still missing the grammar point and exercise.
I haven't watched this show but it seems like I would like it! I liked how you used a lot of adjectives to describe Guy Fieri, this will be super beneficial to ELL's when they are learning what adjectives are. Great vocabulary activity making connections with synonyms. I think this will reassure learners of what a synonym is and allow them to practice with the given examples using the matching column!
