This week I realized how influential reviews in magazines can really be. I have a subscription to Texas Monthly and I guess I never really realized how many reviews are regularly written in the magazine. The cover of the August issue shows a delicious hamburger and has the title, “The 50 Best Hamburgers.” I read through the entire article to see which restaurants I have been to and then I made a mental list of the burger restaurants that I want to visit in the future.
In class we read a review that a student wrote on the Cupcake Cottage in Fort Worth. I had heard about this place through word of mouth, but it wasn’t until I read the review that I actually wanted to go. Immediately after reading the review I went onto the Cupcake Cottage website to see what all of the 31 flavors were. The writer made the place sound so good that I wanted to go to the store that day and buy a cupcake! If it had not been for that review I probably never would have given the Cupcake Cottage a second thought.
For my article, I am review the Mexican food restaurant Freebirds. I wanted to write about this place because I have heard many TCU students talk about how much they love Chipotle. I am not a fan of Chipotle, but I absolutely love Freebirds. The atmosphere there is great and the employees are always so friendly and helpful. They even recognize me when I come in now. I hope that after people read my review that they will think about giving Freebirds a chance. I got hooked on it when I live in College Station and now it’s the only place I go to get my burrito fix.

Hey! Oh no! Well, I already tried to post this once but somehow I deleted it instead. It is 2:30 in the morning and I haven't had any sleep. Anyway, I just had to post a comment about your blog since we not only chose the same hip, modern, chic background but it sounds like The Cupcake Cottage Review made us both want to go eat a few dozen mini cupcakes! I am enjoying writing and reading reviews for this class. It's so much fun reading what others have to say and learning something new in the process. I am all about the adventure of trying something new. See you in a few hours!
