Not surprisingly, American influence is seen throughout Germany in the form of American restaurant chains. This is a good example of one, Subway. Language plays a major role here, a mixture of English and German at American companies shows the understanding of English of multi-lingual Berlin. Perhaps in smaller cities, this isn't the case. After asking my host mom about American chains, she said she rarely goes to American fast food typically just having whatever Oma cooks. All-in-all, not as prevalent. ]]> 2016-06-14 16:26:52 UTC https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/114630311 https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/114640768 - From Berlin
YAAM is a beach-bar/hipster hangout in the middle of the industrial center of Berlin. It also houses a collective of food-truck style eateries that serve everything from chicken nuggets to traditional African food. Social organization is seen here, this collection of stands and the beach bar YAAM represents counter-culture in Berlin. It's all about how different people spend their free-time.]]> 2016-06-14 18:07:52 UTC https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/114640768 https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/114686645 From Wittenberg
Naturally, not just American influence can be seen in Germany. This restaurant shows a perfect twist on traditional Asian cuisine with the added "Doner Kebab," a typical German-Turkish snack. A nice melting pot of food, I'd place this in the social organization category since ]]> 2016-06-15 06:22:20 UTC https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/114686645 https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/114686926 From Wittenberg
This is most certainly a language picture, the sign incorporating German but their menu outside is entirely in English. Not just language, but there is also a touch of enjoyment of American culture - the burger to be particular. ]]> 2016-06-15 06:27:03 UTC https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/114686926 https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/114710752 - From Wittenberg
Use of various fonts is often employed as a marketing strategy, Germany is no different! This café's sign uses traditional medieval German text, a font which locals (and others) can relate too as well as showing German culture - exemplary of language.]]> 2016-06-15 10:48:14 UTC https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/114710752 https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/114984207 From: Dresden
Snack stands are wildly popular throughout Germany. This particular picture was taken at the village next to the castle we visited. It may fall under social organization simply because Germans have very quick meals, representing a "quick snack culture."]]> 2016-06-19 15:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/114984207 laraducate https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/115090373 From Leipzig Hbf
While not technically a restaurant, I believe these vending machines do fall into the category. While coffee machines are few and far between in the States, in Germany they're equally as common as drink machines. Perhaps falling into environment, as these make use of space.]]> 2016-06-20 20:47:38 UTC https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/115090373 laraducate https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/115090568 From Dresden Hbf.
A classic example of a typical German chain, another language category with a twist. This chain was founded in Germany, so the use of quasi-French is an attempt to capitalize off of French baking while promoting a German business. ]]> 2016-06-20 20:51:52 UTC https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/115090568 laraducate https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/115462187 From Prague
This falls more into the linguistic/language category, where not two but three languages are represented. The three languages most likely is an attempt to appeal to the Czech Republic's diverse population as well as the tourists (assuming many Americans/English). ]]> 2016-06-26 21:36:04 UTC https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/115462187 laraducate https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/115533375 From Wittenberg
If this doesn't scream Dairy Queen, I'm not sure what does. Soft Eis is wildly popular in Germany, as is all ice cream. This store represents language as it uses an English type of food "Soft-Serve" and translates for a German audience.  ]]> 2016-06-27 20:05:24 UTC https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/115533375 laraducate https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/115602692 From Prague
This restaurant is located at the very top of a mall complex, and mostly outdoors. Besides the scenery, this type of outdoor setting is exemplary of social organization. Germans go to great lengths to be outdoors from gardening to bicycling. It's only natural they'd want to eat outside as well. While my host mother doesn't eat out very often, she does eat on her porch. It's a cultural aspect to somehow connect with the outdoors. ]]> 2016-06-28 15:55:56 UTC https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/115602692 laraducate https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/115611301 From Wittenberg 
Taken from a local pub, Independent, this picture falls into the social organization category because of the social nature of bars. Unlike the US, it seems as though pubs can be visited at all hours of the day for a "chill" place to hang out. ]]> 2016-06-28 18:30:05 UTC https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/115611301 laraducate https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/115691460 From Wittenberg
So this is obviously not a restaurant, but the garden says a lot about German culture and yes, restaurants too. A huge cultural phenomenon in the U.S. is the concept of "farm-to-table." Germans take this quite literally, here is a vegetable garden at my host family that we eat from often at dinner. I'd place this in the environment category since it deals with the use of space.]]> 2016-06-29 18:04:19 UTC https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/115691460 laraducate https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/115695945 From Wittenberg
Thang Long comes from Thai, a classic marketing move to add some ethnic authenticity. Falling under the language category, this restaurant is very similar to American-Chinese food. ]]> 2016-06-29 19:39:07 UTC https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/115695945 laraducate https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/115733000 From Wittenberg
Similar to our farmers' markets, Germans are fans of the outdoor market where mostly fresh vegetables and other food items are sold. This is very much an environment LESCANT category as this makes use of open space. But it also says something about the culture at large, that they enjoy this outdoor experience. While my host mom doesn't go to markets often, Oma does. She loves how the space is used for open-air markets and genuinely enjoys the social atmosphere.]]> 2016-06-30 08:41:13 UTC https://padlet.com/laraducate/i1mf9ei5v6bl/wish/115733000
