Fast Food in the 1950S and 60S, Fast Food Chains Fast Food In the 1950s and 60s, fast food chains – epitomized by McDonald's – revolutionized the restaurant industry and changed farming and food distribution businesses. The first McDonald's restaurant was actually a barbecue joint that opened in 1940 by brothers Dick and Maurice (Mac) McDonald along Route 66 in San Bernardino, California. At first, they offered 25 different items served by carhops. They catered to young affluent people who were part of the emerging California car culture. Teens drove up, placed their order with the carhops and were served on trays that hooked onto rolled down windows. In 1940, The brothers figured out that almost all of their profits were coming the sale of hamburgers. They also sensed that teens and families alike were interested in eating quickly. So, they closed down their restaurant for several months and developed their "Speedee Service System" of food preparation. This was a streamlined assembly line for food. They also streamlined their menu to hamburgers, milkshakes and french fries. The burgers sold for 15-cents, about half of what a burger cost at regular diners of the time. With success, the brothers franchised their enterprise and had eight restaurants open by the early 50s. It's significant that McDonald's concentrated on milkshakes because that brought Ray Kroc to McDonalds in 1954. Kroc was selling the Multimixer – a machine that could mix five shakes at a time – when he became fascinated with the Speedee system. He asks the brothers to allow him to franchise McDonald's outside of California. They do and Kroc opened his first outlet in Des Plaines, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. By 1958, the company sold its 100 millionth hamburger. By 1961, Kroc bought out the McDonald brothers and opened a training facility called Hamburger University in Illinois. The rest, as they say, is history. In a way, Burger King was an outgrowth of McDonald's. The same year that Ray Kroc visited the original McDonald's, James McLamore and David Edgerton visited as well. They were both graduates of the Cornell University course in hotel administration, and they also saw the potential of assembly-line fast food. They opened their first restaurant in 1954 in a suburb of Miami, Florida. Now, Burger King has more than 11,220 franchise outlets in 61 countries. The franchise model was quickly adapted to other types of food, for example, pizza. By the early 50s, servicemen returning from Italy brought back a taste for pizza. Up until then, pizza was a regional dish concentrated in Italian immigrant neighborhoods in New York and Chicago. New York pizza was very thin, and Chicago pizza tended to be very thick. After WWII, other local pizza joints began to open up with a variety of recipes. In 1958, Dan and Frank Carney borrowed $600 from their mother and opened the first Pizza Hut in Wichita Kansas. It was so successful that they began franchising restaurants quickly. By 1968, they opened their first restaurant in Canada. Now they have operations in over 100 countries. Dominos added delivery to the pizza business when they opened their first store in Detroit Michigan in 1960. Their guarantee – delivery in 30 minutes or it's free – helped them expand to include more than 8,000 stores in 55 countries. Today, there are 4.2 billion pizzas sold every year by 60,000 pizzerias. The franchise model – with a central source of supply for food items and standardized menu – became so successful that fast food joints are now part of multi-national corporate giants. Pizza Hut is now part of the aptly named Yum! Brands, a corporation that also owns Taco Bell, A&W, Long John Silver's, and the American icon KFC. In the early 1950s, Col. Harland Sanders was both a victim and a beneficiary of the automobile boom. Since the Depression, Sanders had been serving fried chicken – prepared with a "secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices" – at his gas station and restaurant in Corbin, Kentucky. But the route for the new Interstate 75 was going to bypass his establishment, so the Colonel sold his property and started traveling across the U.S. trying to sell his spice recipe and preparation method. Sanders claimed that frying his chicken in a pressure cooker shortened the preparation time. The short cooking time would take advantage of the fast food boom. No one bought, until Pete Harman of South Salt Lake, Utah, opened the first "Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet in 1952. Today, KFC has 750,000 employees and is the most popular Western fast food chain in China. Coincidently, Dave Thomas got into the fast food business by franchising several KFC stores in Ohio. He was the one who came up the idea that the chicken should be sold in paper buckets to wick away excess moisture, and he also came up with the rotating bucket-of-chicken advertising sign that, at one time, was outside every KFC. But in 1969, Thomas wanted to go out on his own, and so he opened the first Wendy's in Columbus, Ohio. He stressed fresh, rather than frozen, meat served as square patties prepared fresh and served "hot off the grill." Wendy's was also the first fast food restaurant to build a drive-through window in 1970. That cut down on labor costs because carhops were no longer needed, and all of the fast food chains built drive-throughs within a few years. The predominance of fast food restaurants changed the food supply chain all the way down to the farmer. McDonald's quickly became the single largest buyer of beef, pork, potatoes and apples in the U.S. That gave them tremendous economic clout. The fast food system is all about standardization, and so when the companies went looking for someone to supply their meat, they choose to deal with their large, corporate counterparts in the packing industry. IBP began to produce "boxed beef," where the final cuts of beef, including hamburger, were produced at the processing plant rather than the local grocery. IBP became the largest supplier of hamburger meat to the fast food industry. Kentucky Fried Chicken buys all of its chickens from huge suppliers like Perdue, Tyson and Pilgrim's Pride. McDonald's gets its fish products from the giant supplier Gorton's of Gloucester. Because consumers with busy lifestyles needed food fast, the chains needed raw materials in standardized packages. So, meat packers needed a consistent supply of standardized animals to produce their meat. They couldn't afford to deal with the uncertainty of many, small family farms. So, livestock producers became bigger and bigger. McDonald'sand other chains have also been accused of using their huge buying power to keep farm produce prices artificially low. When McDonald's expanded into international marketplaces beginning in 1971, McDonald's both adapted to local conditions and forced local farmers to adapt to them. For instance, beef is not the lead meat item offered in countries that have cultural taboos or food preferences for other types of meat. However, the company has been accused of changing food preferences and exporting American culture around the world along with its propensity for obesity. McDonald's and other fast food chains have affected farmers wherever new restaurants open. In 1990, McDonald's opened their first outlet in Russia. When they realized that they couldn't guarantee a high quality, reliable supply of meat and other food products, they opened their own farms, controlling the supply chain at every step.

  • Escúchame, Alúmbrame. Apuntes Sobre El Canon De “La Música Joven”
    ISSN Escúchame, alúmbrame. 0329-2142 Apuntes de Apuntes sobre el canon de “la investigación del CECYP música joven” argentina entre 2015. Año XVII. 1966 y 1973 Nº 25. pp. 11-25. Recibido: 20/03/2015. Aceptado: 5/05/2015. Sergio Pujol* Tema central: Rock I. No caben dudas de que estamos viviendo un tiempo de fuerte interroga- ción sobre el pasado de lo que alguna vez se llamó “la música joven ar- gentina”. Esa música ya no es joven si, apelando a la metáfora biológica y más allá de las edades de sus oyentes, la pensamos como género desarro- llado en el tiempo según etapas de crecimiento y maduración autónomas. Veámoslo de esta manera: entre el primer éxito de Los Gatos y el segundo CD de Acorazado Potemkin ha transcurrido la misma cantidad de años que la que separa la grabación de “Mi noche triste” por Carlos Gardel y el debut del quinteto de Astor Piazzolla. ¿Es mucho, no? En 2013 la revista Rolling Stone edición argentina dedicó un número es- pecial –no fue el primero– a los 100 mejores discos del rock nacional, en un arco que iba de 1967 a 2009. Entre los primeros 20 seleccionados, 9 fueron grabados antes de 1983, el año del regreso de la democracia. Esto revela que, en el imaginario de la cultura rock, el núcleo duro de su obra apuntes precede la época de mayor crecimiento comercial. Esto afirmaría la idea CECYP de una época heroica y proactiva, expurgada de intereses económicos e ideológicamente sostenida en el anticonformismo de la contracultura es- tadounidense adaptada al contexto argentino.

  • Cap 2 Lamúsicadecarnaval (139.2Kb)
    37 La música de Carnaval en el siglo XX Nuestra música de Carnaval en el siglo XX se inicia siguiendo las tendencias internacionales recibidas de Europa en el hemisferio ameri- cano y conocido como la Belle époque, para designar un período de paz y esplendor social y cultural entre 1871 y 1914, cuando sobreviene la Primera Guerra Mundial. Como refl ejo de lo que sucedía en occidente, era común ver los salones de baile repletos de joviales danzarines aco- giendo, ayer como hoy, los aires de moda. Pero en el Caribe colombiano ocurrió un fenómeno impulsado con la infl uencia, cada vez más marcada por la presencia de los Estados Uni- dos, en nuestra vida social y económica. Y es que con la euforia de las dos primeras décadas del siglo los barranquilleros se desplazaron de los apacibles ritmos europeos a la dinámica de la música norteamericana. Ello no impedía que los aires terrígenos estuviesen reinando en la calle con la majestad del tambor, el mensaje aborigen de la gaita o el júbilo in- contenible de la fl auta de millo, y se produjera una amalgama frenética de ritmos y melodías que solo en el Caribe mestizo podría entenderse.

  • La Nueva Canción and Its Significance
    Excerpt * Temple University Press 1 La Nueva Canción and Its Significance uring the 1960s and 1970s, profound political changes were taking place in Chile and in other parts of Latin America. New political Dand social movements of students, workers, peasants, urban shanty- town dwellers, and other groups mobilized to demand rights and political inclusion along with deeper democratization and structural changes in elit- ist systems. The 1960s were marked by the Cuban Revolution and the war in Vietnam, and many young people in Chile, as in other countries, were strongly anti-imperialist and in favor of progressive social change. These popular movements coalesced to form a powerful force that was instrumen- tal in electing the democratic socialist Salvador Allende president in 1970. Allende’s goal was to preside over a peaceful, constitutional path to social- ism in Chile. He served for three turbulent years, attempting to implement a program to reduce social inequalities, until he was overthrown in the U.S.- backed military coup of 1973. Political and Social Context In Chile in the early 1960s, social divisions were severe. Some 25 percent of the population had access to sewage services, and only 10–11 percent of rural populations had supplied drinking water. In 1960, 16.4 percent of the population was illiterate.1 Tens of thousands of people had built crude, leaky shacks to live in on the outskirts of Santiago that lacked plumbing, run- ning water, and electricity. Workers had few rights and lived in overcrowded Excerpt * Temple University Press 2 Chapter 1 tenements, shantytowns, or single-room company housing; miners lived in company towns near the mines, enduring harsh conditions.

    Reinterpreting the Global, Rearticulating the Local: Nueva Música Colombiana, Networks, Circulation, and Affect Simón Calle Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Simón Calle All rights reserved ABSTRACT Reinterpreting the Global, Rearticulating the Local: Nueva Música Colombiana, Networks, Circulation, and Affect Simón Calle This dissertation analyses identity formation through music among contemporary Colombian musicians. The work focuses on the emergence of musical fusions in Bogotá, which participant musicians and Colombian media have called “nueva música Colombiana” (new Colombian music). The term describes the work of bands that assimilate and transform North-American music genres such as jazz, rock, and hip-hop, and blend them with music historically associated with Afro-Colombian communities such as cumbia and currulao, to produce several popular and experimental musical styles. In the last decade, these new fusions have begun circulating outside Bogotá, becoming the distinctive sound of young Colombia domestically and internationally. The dissertation focuses on questions of musical circulation, affect, and taste as a means for articulating difference, working on the self, and generating attachments others and therefore social bonds and communities This dissertation considers musical fusion from an ontological perspective influenced by actor-network, non-representational, and assemblage theory. Such theories consider a fluid social world, which emerges from the web of associations between heterogeneous human and material entities. The dissertation traces the actions, interactions, and mediations between places, people, institutions, and recordings that enable the emergence of new Colombian music. In considering those associations, it places close attention to the affective relationships between people and music.
