Is Eating by the Pound Becoming the New Trend? By: Guadalupe Monarrez and Gina Onori In recent years, many businesses have implemented a new way for their customers to eat at their restaurants. Traditional menus provide the ability for customers to choose from a variety of dishes, where the restaurant decides the amount of food given in each dish. But lately, while traditional menus are still prominently used among restaurants, businesses have also allowed customers to decide how much food they want to eat and pay for. South Florida businesses are no strangers to allowing customers to explore the recent trend of eating by the pound. Picanha Brazil, located in west Boca Ra- ton, has always allowed customers to purchase meals by the pound. Clients come from anywhere in between Miami and West Palm Beach to experience Picanha Brazil’s pound by pound buffet, Brazilian beers and sodas, and unique desserts. For restaurant owner Marco Dombrowski, who has been in business for 7 years, he could not imagine serving food any other way. “There are no negative aspects of serving food by the pound. I owned an all you can eat restaurant in Brazil, a lot of food was wasted and put into the garbage because some people do not finish their meals. If you charge by the pound, customers can choose the amount of food that they want and it does not cost them too much money,” said Dombrowski. The restaurant changes it’s buffet every 2-3 hours, and offers a BBQ stand. Prices vary, but lunch and dinner prices by the pound are

Jozy Altidore “Kicks It” Exclusive Interview with Jozy Altidore For Kashius Kashius Mostransky is an energetic 6-year-old who speaks easily about his acute lymphoblastic leukemia — just don’t call him sick. Around a year ago, a healthy Kashius was sick with what was thought to be the flu. However, his illness wouldn’t go away, which led Marc and his wife, Meegan, to take him to the doctor. And shockingly, tests revealed something worse. Kashius was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, a form of cancer most commonly found in children. This was devastating and life-changing for Kashius and the Mostranskys. He has undergone several chemotherapy treat- ments battling the disease and has been in Kashius Mostransky and out of the hospital for months, with Altidore wore a “Let’s Kick It For the worst coming recently when he had Kashius” bracelet, designed similarly pneumonia and a partially collapsed lung. to the Lance Armstrong “Livestrong” And if things weren’t rough enough bracelets, in the United States’ first 2014 on the Monstranskys, Marc is slated to World Cup qualifying match against An- lose his job as a teacher in his school dis- tigua & Barbuda on June 8 at Raymond trict due to budget cuts.
