An Idea In the Works (3/9-3/14)

Famous "Butter Beer." 

   While in Orlando this past weekend, I visited the new section of the "Harry Potter World" known as Diagon Alley, where I was inspired by the variety of theme park food. It is widely underrated and the evolution of theme park food has caused it to surge in popularity and recognition (ex. notorious Harry Potter cuisine such as Butter Beer and Chocolate Frogs). As I was experimenting with numerous snacks within the attractions, I thought it would be a creative plan to possibly have one edition of our magazine be about the evolution of theme park food. Food magazines are typically geared towards older audiences, but with having a central idea that is relatable to both younger-aged and older readers like the one aforementioned, we could reintroduce this genre as more modernized.
    Theme park food acclaims its success from being unconventional and true to the original theme it stems from. For example, tourists from around the globe flock to Islands of Adventures in order to be apart of the Harry Potter atmosphere, and "Butter Beer" is known to reenact this sort of experience.
    Food I observed (and tasted) within the parks were inventive, original, and appealing to all ages. The meals are sophisticated and intricate, not solely cheeseburgers and fries, but actual fine-made cuisine. Theme park food is gearing itself towards becoming "food away from home" for tourists to not only enjoy, but still crave even after they leave.
