Argument Topic

My topic will be whether or not the legal gambling age in Las Vegas should be 18 instead of 21.

Criteria

The first criterion that my audience will need is the atmosphere. My audience wants to go to a place where they are comfortable. The atmosphere also needs to be in line with the type of food being served. My audience won’t like an upper class Italian restaurant with a sports memorabilia theme.

The second criterion that my audience will need is the price of food. My audience wants bang for their buck. If they are going to spend money they want something out of it. They will not expect to pay twenty dollars for a cheeseburger.

The third criterion that my audience will need is service. My audience wants to be waited on without waiting a long time. This is why they went out to eat in the first place. They want service that is relative to the restaurant. If they go out for fast food they will want really fast service. If they go to a sit down meal they will want fast service but enough time to enjoy their food.

The fourth and final criterion that my audience will be looking for is the food itself. The food needs to be full of flavor. It needs to not be the norm. It needs to stand out. Freshness is key and above all the food needs to be cooked properly. No one in my audience wants a raw piece of chicken on their plate.

Analyzing my Audience

My audience for my review is a pretty broad audience. It is most likely males and females from the ages of 17 and above. Really it is anyone who eats out. My audience also most likely lives in a urban area. A place where new restaurants can pop up at any moment. My audience is interested in good food, which is why they would read these reviews. They want to make sure that they are going to get good food for their money. My audience does not like wasting their money, but they are up for new experiences. My audience really does not stick to the norm or else they would never try new places. My audience believes in small local businesses because these are where they go for their feasting. Their friends are outgoing people. They know that my audience likes new places and will often tell them about a new restaurant that just opened up or a great place they ate during one of their trips they were recently on. My audience needs to know about new restaurants that open up. If not they might stick to a couple of places and not realize what else is out in the world. My audience frequently reads the newspaper trying to find that new restaurant or café. My audience might also subscribe to a food magazine that lists reviews of new restaurants in their area as well as the rest of the nation. My audience believes that there is always something new to try, as long as other people have tried it first. They don’t really believe in second chances and figure that if you can’t do it the first time…why do it? My audience knows that they are hungry and they are ready to find that perfect place to eat. But once they find a really great place, another place seems like it might be better. This cycle will go on and on until they have a handful of places that they can use as their staples. These are the places that they can always go do get a really great meal every time they go. But of course they will always try the new café on the corner.

Review Topic

For my review, I will be reviewing a restaurant at UCF.
