Giant Squid Summer School Challenge #3 "Restaurant Review"
As part of the Giant Squid Summer School, participating Giants receive a specific weekly lensmaking challenge. They have a week to work on the lens, and then post it below to "turn in" their homework and show that it's done.
Week three took us on a tour of the Giants favorite eateries. We asked:
What's your favorite local restaurant? Who has the best burgers in town? Which diner make the best breakfast you've every had? Show off your home town eatery! Take some great photos, review their menu, showcase your Top 10 favorite desserts. Get creative!
Are you a world traveler? Showcase your favorite places to eat while you're on vacation. Do they make great Western Omelets in Nevada? Is France the best place for Crepes? Is New England Crab Chowder really all it's cracked up to be? Let us know.
Here's what the Giant Squid Summer School Class of 2009 came up with!
Giant Squid Summer School Students and participating RocketMoms: Please add your Restaurant Review Assignment Lenses to the List Below.

- Since we are all watching our pennies these days, eating out has to be more than going out for a meal - it has to be special - an event. I recently went to just such a diner - Sunshine Diner - a fifties diner in Vancouver, BC I even took my camera and behaved like a tourist :)..... we had so much fun! Fun to create this lens too.

- I was able to complete the assignment on this stupid dial-up, but will have to wait until I get back to broadband to put the finishing touches on it.
