Dear Professor,
Have you ever visited a new city or town, eager to go out and have a nice meal, only to find out that you are surrounded by fast food nation?
Yes, Santa Cruz County has its fair share of fast food chains, what place does not? Yet one place, located in the beautiful town of Capitola gives you great food, old time charm, seaside views, and did I mention the easiest way to get there is by cable car or through their beautiful garden path?
Since 1947 Shadowbrook Restaurant has been pleasing both locals and visitors world wide. Its old time style and romantic feel take you back to the days when dining out was a privilege and not a weekly chore. Its historic setting and unique accessibility make it one of the most diverse restaurants on the central coast.
Having won numerous awards, such as Most Romantic Restaurant by the San Jose Mercury News and Good Times, Santa Cruz, Shadowbrook has long been recognized locally. Living in Santa Cruz my whole life, I would love to give this great, classic restaurant the credit it deserves and share its appeal to the masses.
The subject of food has always been near and dear to my heart and when the opportunity arose to do a feature story, this was the first and only thing that came to my mind. I also believe that good food is becoming more popular. Channels such as the Food Network are beginning to thrive with young adults.
I would be honored if you gave me chance to give this great place its due praise through a feature story. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Russell Mikols

Good pitch letter, but I don't want a restaurant review for this assignment. I want a feature or trend story.
If you want to interview and profile Shadowbrook's owners, and talk to some of "regulars," that might work.
