    CENTRE FOR NEWFOUNDLAND STUDIES TOTAL OF 10 PAGES ONLY MAY BE XEROXED (Without Author' s Permission) p CLASS ACTS: CULINARY TOURISM IN NEWFOUNDLAND AND LABRADOR by Holly Jeannine Everett A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Folklore Memorial University of Newfoundland May 2005 St. John's Newfoundland ii Class Acts: Culinary Tourism in Newfoundland and Labrador Abstract This thesis, building on the conceptual framework outlined by folklorist Lucy Long, examines culinary tourism in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The data upon which the analysis rests was collected through participant observation as well as qualitative interviews and surveys. The first chapter consists of a brief overview of traditional foodways in Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as a summary of the current state of the tourism industry. As well, the methodology which underpins the study is presented. Chapter two examines the historical origins of culinary tourism and the development of the idea in the Canadian context. The chapter ends with a description of Newfoundland and Labrador's current culinary marketing campaign, "A Taste of Newfoundland and Labrador." With particular attention to folklore scholarship, the course of academic attention to foodways and tourism, both separately and in tandem, is documented in chapter three. The second part of the thesis consists of three case studies. Chapter four examines the uses of seal flipper pie in hegemonic discourse about the province and its culture. Fried foods, specifically fried fish, potatoes and cod tongues, provide the starting point for a discussion of changing attitudes toward food, health and the obligations of citizenry in chapter five.

  • Structured Finance
    Corporates Gaming / U.S.A. 2014 Outlook: U.S. Gaming Deleveraging Potential Outlook Report High Leverage Is So 2013: After a busy 2013, with a first-ever gaming/REIT spin-off and three Rating Outlook major debt-funded M&A transactions, gaming companies are positioned with solid FCF profiles, STABLE limited development prospects and stringent credit agreement provisions. Fitch Ratings believes this is a formula for meaningful deleveraging across the industry. Notable exceptions (2013: STABLE) could be the U.S.-based Macau operators, which will be ramping up developments on Cotai and currently maintain low leverage levels in Macau. A handful of lightly leveraged companies may also look to increase shareholder-friendly activity. Finally, a Gaming REIT: Fitch believes the entrance of REITs into the gaming sector will potentially drive up trading EV/EBITDA multiples, provide new sources of capital (e.g. sale and leaseback), create better transparency on the value of physical casino assets and the gaming licenses (retained by the operator) and possibly increase tolerance for higher leverage. Tepid Domestic Growth Prospects: 2014 casino openings in Ohio, Baltimore and possibly Lake Charles, LA will grow but also cannibalize their respective markets. Same-store growth will continue to be soft, although we project regional markets to fare better relative to 2013 as the effects from the sequester and the payroll tax holiday rollback will anniversary. Operators with exposure to the Las Vegas Strip and Macau will continue to benefit. We project 3% gaming revenue growth for the Las Vegas Strip (5% RevPAR growth) and 12% for Macau. Sector Outlook Greater Interest Rate Sensitivity: Many gaming companies used term loans to refinance STABLE fixed-rate notes or execute M&As.

  • You Have to Eat Anyway, So You Might As Well Spend Your Time and Money Eating at the Best Spots Around Town
    BY Karen Anderson, Rosemary Bacovsky, Dan Clapson, John Gilchrist, Gabriel Hall, Jennifer Hamilton, Gwendolyn Richards AND Vincci Tsui PHOTOGRAPHY BY Jared Sych You have to eat anyway, so you might as well spend your time and money eating at the best spots around town. From our judges’ top 10 picks for Best Overall and Best New Restaurants to a full smorgasbord’s worth of other categories, there’s something here to sate every appetite and suit every occasion. 63 AvenueCalgary.com The beautiful plating and fresh flavours of the confit rabbit and beet-cured foie gras terrine, with fermented squash, pickled pear, pickled beets, mem- brillo and poached quince foam, demon- strate why Rouge is our No. 1 pick. ROUGE A staple of Calgary’s dining scene for more than a decade, Rouge is experiencing a renaissance. Under the leadership of newcomer chef Jamie Harling, the bistro in the historic Cross House in Inglewood has returned to its local roots. e menu focuses on fresh, seasonal ingredients — many of which are grown in a lush garden fewer than 100 steps from the kitchen. Dining on the patio next to the myriad greens, herbs and vegetables — as honeybees from nearby hives it about — connects diners in a unique way to the meals set before them by the attentive sta. Harling and the rest of the sta tend the garden, nourishing the plants, as well as those who dine on them. His dishes embrace the season and the natural avours that come from good, simple food, but are carefully craed using skill and technique to elevate a humble tomato or unusual cut of beef to a new level.
