Project Topic.

I chose to focus my project around New Orleans cuisine. I chose this because Louisiana and New Orleans in particular is known for its unique cooking style. I'm stuck between two directions for this project. The first direction is to conduct a survey amongst traditional New Orleans restaurants vs. non traditional New Orleans restaurants. The purpose will be to see which of the two receive the most business, and at what times of the day, week, etc. they are the busiest. Is it true that just because a restaurant serves what is considered to be "New Orleans food" that they will receive the most business, or do the restaurants that serve food that strays from this stereotype receive more? Also, I would like to include something in the survey to try and keep track of the amount of tourists that are patrons of said restaurants. The second direction that the project can take is to conduct a survey amongst Copeland's restaurants to see how business has changes since his death. I would also like to see if the way the restaurants are run and whether or not his traditions are being carried on.
