Dining out has been a mainstay in American culture for centuries and it only seems to be increasing its popularity. Western culture can credit the abundance of restaurants throughout the country to the origin of dining out in China. What we refer to now as a restaurant was once called food catering establishments in the 11th century in Chinas northern capital. This originated somewhere during the first half of the Song Dynasty (960-1279) and included over a million people.

Kaifeng, Chinas northern capital was the only area that could accommodate the development of restaurants at that time. Originally, Kaifeng was made up of tea houses and taverns which were used to welcome in and cater to travelers who were passing through. This gave them the idea to build upon this foundation and create restaurants that would not just cater to those passing through, but to the locals in the town as well. This industry expanded rather quickly and in the 18th century made the cross over to the Western World.

In the West, inns and taverns had already been around for some time, but still, they were only aimed at travelers. It was very seldom that a local every dined at one of these establishments. The development of restaurants changed economies in countries all across the world. The very first restaurant in the United States was opened in Boston, Massachusetts in the year 1794. At this time, it was unlikely to have your own individual dish, but rather diners were served a shared meal that everyone would eat from.

This practice is still used throughout much of modern day France and it is argued that it teaches people about the importance of portion control. Today, it is commonplace for a restaurant to serve individual meals to everyone at the table, but the notion of sharing is still coveted in certain parts of the country. The familiar pattern of service where each diner is served a plate of food where each item is already arranged for them on the plate is referred to as American Service, but ironically it did not originate in America.

Today, we have the luxury of choosing from thousands of restaurants all over the country. We have Los Angeles restaurants, San Francisco, New York City and Chicago. These cities are widely known for their culinary culture and people flock from all over the world to experience one of the wonderful meals at one of Los Angeles restaurants.

From 1901 until 1916, the team saw various ups and downs. Hanlon's desire to own the team never materialized. He put himself heavily in debt and even invested heavily for the construction of Ebbets Field, which would become the Dodgers' home in 1913.

Under Manager Wilbert Robinson, popularly known as "Uncle Robbie?, the Dodgers won pennants in 1916

and 1920 with the line-up featuring players like pitcher Jeff Pfeffer and outfielder Zack Wheat. The club lost both World Series, to Boston and Cleveland, respectively.

In the late 1920s the team became known as the "Daffiness Boys" for their distracted, error-ridden style of play, probably because of Robinson's helplessness to focus on the field after he assumed the title of president. He returned to manage the team to improve the performance of the team.

The Dodgers rebounded from a 20-year pennant drought in 1941 under Manager Leo Durocher, a former Brooklyn shortstop. The same season, the Dodgers introduced batting helmets to Major League Baseball. The following season, Branch Rickey was hired as president and general manager of the team. Rickey made history when he integrated the team after signing Negro League superstar Jackie Robinson in 1947. Robinson had an instant impact on the team. He along with teammates Pee Wee Reese, Arky Vaughan, and Gil Hodges led the club to the 1947 pennant. Robinson, Catcher Roy Campanella and pitcher Don Newcombe became the powerhouse of the team in the late 40s and early 50s. From 1949 to 1952, the Dodgers won six NL pennants with a World Series victory in 1955 against the Yanks.

In 1958 owner Walter O'Malley moved the club to Los Angeles. Manager Walter Alston led the Dodgers to

their second World Series victory in 1959. In the 1960s and early 1970s, he guided the Dodgers to four

more pennants. Moreover, the Dodger's pitching staff during this era was invincible. The Dodgers defeated

the Yankees in the 1963 World Series, and two years later they bested the Minnesota Twins to take home

their fourth World Series title. Under Manager Walter Alston, the Dodgers won their last pennant in 1974.

In 1976, Future Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda became the team's new manager. He managed the club for 22 seasons, leading it to four NL pennants and two World Series championships in 1981 and 1988. In 1992 the Dodgers finished the season in last place for the first time in 87 years of their existence. The team rebounded once again in 1994, 1995, and 1996 to claim the division titles. Before the start of the 1998

regular season playoffs, Australian-born media magnate Rupert Murdoch purchased the team. The logo of the team has Dodgers written in a blue script with a streaking baseball.
