Food Truck FeverBy Jean-Sebastien Vila

Have you ever craved great food but didn’t want to pay an arm and a leg for it? Do you wish you could get one specific food item without getting an entire meal? Look no further, food trucks offer a variety of food options for a great price. The gourmet food truck has increased in popularity in the last decade, but the concept of mobile food service has been around since 1950. Food truck cuisine varies from different nationalities to ex-otic combinations of two or more cuisines.

For more information on where to find Food Truck locations and events you can visit: MiamiFoodTrucks.com

Name: Sugar Yummy MamaEst: Feb. 14, 2011Cuisine: Desserts

One food truck that is bringing out the sweet tooth in all of us is Sugar Yummy Mama. Sugar Yummy Mama was founded by Johnson & Wales alumna, Giselle Pinto. This dessert oriented food truck offers cake pops and cupcakes. Some dessert flavors include guava, velve-teen, choco + vanilla, and more. Pinto found bak-ing and pastry after a long career in advertising and marketing. After living in several different cities she discovered what really makes her happy: chocolate. “I started by finding a complete pool of chefs and focused on the entire brand building. I applied all my marketing skills and made sure the quality was there, however after a while I realized I could do better,” Pinto said. Looking to improve her technique, Giselle decided to get her degree here at JWU, achieving her fourth degree. “I feel proud that both Chef Lorena Garcia and all the chefs at Johnson & Wales, including Chef Wagner, pushed me to improve on technique and support the plan,” Pinto said.

Swamp Cabbage The CubanoConch

Originally from Greece, conch is a large shellfish, which lives inside a large spiral shell. Now that it has made its way to southern Florida, the conch meat is prepared by soaking the meat in lemon juice and tenderizing it, which makes ceviche. Another method of cooking conch meat is making what are called fritters. Conch fritters are made with chopped conch meat and vegetables like sweet peppers and hot peppers, onions, and celery, which are then fried.

A Cuban sandwich, which combines roast pork, ham, salami, cheese, and a pickle on Cuban bread, which is thick and chewy. The sandwich is pressed so the flavors combine and the bread is toasted.

restaurants

“I love conch fritters; I usually

eat them with ketchup,” said

Jordan Moorer, a baking and pas-try arts major.

Swamp cabbage, also known as hearts of palm, comes from the core of the Sabal palm trees that are common in Jack-sonville, Fla. This dish originated from Jacksonville, Florida; it is prepared by boiling the cabbage and adding tomatoes or cream.

The technical term for the category of food in southern Florida is called Floribbean Cuisine. South Florida’s culinary landscape is strongly influenced by Ca-ribbean and Latin American countries such as Cuba, the Bahamas, Jamaica, Haiti, Colombia, Panama, and Puerto

Hospitality

I live where you vacation! Plan your perfect day trip in South Florida!

I live where you vacation! Florida is one of the top visitor destinations. People love to come here for the weather, the beaches, and the theme parks, but South Florida has so much more to offer than just those typical tourist activities you always hear about.

You can get the best shopping at the mall just down the street from campus, Aventura Mall, but don’t forget about the Dadeland Mall, the Galleria in Ft. Lauderdale as well as Sawgrass Mills!

Lincoln Road, Bayside Marketplace, Coral Gables, Holly-wood Beach Boardwalk and Coconut Grove are local spots to shop, dine and just walk around and enjoy the atmosphere. If you like these locations, venturing out to Palm Beach and visiting Mizner Park in Boca Raton, The Avenue in Delray Beach and City Place in West Palm Beach might be an exciting change of scenery. And don’t forget about Wynwood Art Walk in Miami! You could walk around all day and look at the amazing graffiti that covers every building and check out the little shops and boutique restaurants that line the streets.

“Another great area is Coral Gables,” said Daniela Alonso, a fashion merchandising and retailing major. “This place is quaint and makes you feel like you’re in Spain. The buildings are stunning and there’s always an event going on. Miracle Mile and Village of Mer-rick Park are both located in Coral Gables as well as boutiques and the best restaurants …it’s not the foodie district for no reason.”

If you love art and history, there are an abundance of muse-ums in the area that you could spend the day at! Some of them in-clude, Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, the Bass Art Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art, Wolfsonian at FIU, the Perez Art Museum, and the Young at Art Museum, just to name a few of the many in South Florida!

If you are into nature, you should take a trip to the Florida Keys. The beaches, various activities, food and the culture is so wonderful to experience, even just for a short trip! You can also rent Pontoon boats, and make a day of it on the ocean with friends! Don’t forget about visiting the Everglades National Park, Jungle Island, Zoo Miami, and going on a Culturales Walking Tour!

Top 3 Beaches

By Bryanna Njegovan

Living in Miami means one thing…… BEACHES! With so many beaches around campus alone, it can be hard for

Known as “Florida’s Riviera,” Sunny Isles is located in between Fort Lauderdale airport and Miami International airport, providing easy access from both locations. Ranked #1 of Top 10 US destinations by Trip Advisor, the city hosts free cultural events an-nually for every tourist to enjoy. “Sunny Isles is perfect because I can play volleyball and re-lax since it doesn’t get as loud as other places,” said Chiku Ngumba, a culinary arts major. Enjoy world class accommodations at any price point from a 5 star resort to a 50s Art Deco motel. Sunny Isles provides opportunities to fish off of its pier and has plenty of shop-ping excursions.

South Beach also known as SOBE, occupies one of the best, highly sought-after, beach front locations on Earth between the Atlan-tic Ocean and Biscayne Bay. The clear blue water and the white sand beaches are a must-see for any Miami visitor; even for locals, the beautiful beach just doesn’t get old. It is a popular entertainment des-tination. From the South Beach Wine & Food Festival to the Miami Short Film Festival, there is something for everyone. South Beach has something for every age and interest. “Because of the more adult attractions, it’s better to go when you are 21 and over,” said Jessica Lopez, a culinary arts major.

Bal Harbour’s beach is one of the most clean and private beaches in Greater Miami. This beach is the ultimate option for those who want a quiet, natural environment. Clear, bright turquoise water with colorful shells are to be expected in this part of town. You’ll have a great view of the ocean as far as you can see, along with the local resorts and attractions, at the northernmost end of Bal Harbour.“I just love everything about Bal Harbour. It is a great vacation spot,” said Niki Nelson, a baking and pastry arts major. Bal Harbour Vil-lage has a range of stores where you can shop along with a variety of foods to try in their restaurants.

Shawn Cohen, a food service management major said, “Working at Red Lobster is great, especially because they work with a student’s schedule as long as you are willing to work week-end hours as well. Servers and bus-boys are paid $5.03 an hour plus tips. Hosts make $9 to $10 an hour. There are different shifts allowing you to work morning, afternoon or night, but it can be very hectic at this restaurant. They are always hiring and willing to take on someone with little experience.”

College is costly and expenses can pile up as the term begins this fall. There are jobs right next to campus that are constantly hiring new employees. Positions that range from fast food establishments to phone companies. Check it out, you just may just find a job! JWU students Alejandro Perez and Shawn Cohen have taken advantage of the job opportunities right near campus!

Alejandro Perez, a culinary arts and food service management major said, “IHOP is always looking for people. The hours are usually around 25 per week. If you’re a student they will work around your schedule availability. Servers get paid depending on experience, but generally starting at $8.50 an hour. Working at IHOP is pretty nice, it’s easy and fun but extremely fast pace. They are willing to take on people who have little to no experience.”

Whether you’re freshman or upperclassman, we all have one struggle: spending money on a budget. South Florida is naturally expensive, whether you’re buying food or shopping for clothes. Pre-senting your JWU student ID can get you discounts at some of your favorite business establishments. Raquel Oderbert-Hemphill, a culinary arts major said, “H&M rarely gives discounts because they have generally low prices. An additional 15% off is extraordi-nary and I would have definitely taken advantage of it.”

body transformation enthusiast. One day, it just clicked. Dunlap began to think of other young women and wondered how she could help them lose weight and develop better eat-ing habits. She became a certified personal trainer (PT) and set out to build her brand.

Dunlap quit her job to fully pursue her dream of being a PT when she began to garner a big following. From there, she positioned-her fitness brand to focus solely on women. “It is my goal to educate and train my clients in ways that they won’t depend on professionals like me long-term to maintain their health.” Only her second year in busi-ness, you may wonder, is she making money? How does she get clients and what does she do to stay motivated? Dunlap makes a growing $2,000 a month. Her target audience, young adults, is what drives her. She admits that being a young business owner is challenging, but she at-tributes her success to a strong rela-tionship with God, support from her mentor, and appreciating the process of failing upward as she continues to pursue her dreams.

South Florida has sun year-round. Natives and transplants of the southern most cities of Florida love to soak up the sun on the sandy shores of the blue-green beaches. For some, being physically fit is a requirement, inspiring beachgo-ers to work out all fall and winter for a summer debut. Perched in the center of it all, Faith Dunlap has found her calling in helping people shape up. “I have always been an athlete and that interest is what helped me to realize that I could make a career out of health and wellness,” Dunlap said. “I received a scholarship to attend the University of New Haven in Connecti-cut where I mastered the art of eating healthy and staying fit with a hectic schedule.”

After Dunlap graduated col-lege, she entered corporate America, got engaged, and gave birth to her first child. “After I had my daughter Alanna, I retained most of the weight and felt depressed and ready to make a change,” Dunlap said. She acted on her knowledge of fitness and health and embarked on a lifestyle change that led her to lose over 30 pounds. Her success inspired family and friends whom she began to work with. Soon, she was known as the

It’s no longer nec-essary to break the bank in order to look fabulous! As college students on a budget, going to consign-ment and thrift stores are the perfect way to put your best and most unique foot forward every time you get dressed, for less than you can imagine! These are just five out of the doz-ens of retailers that are the best stores of their kind to shop at in South Florida. “I enjoy the idea of clothing having history,”said fashion mer-chandising major, Daniel Natalo-Lifton. “When you find something good that is 20 years old, it speaks to the quality of that item, it’s worth your time wear-

ing and your money. I like bringing these older styles into my modern ward-robe.” “In order have a true vintage clothing ex-perience, there has to be a genuine love for art and an eye for style,” Professor Desirae Allen expressed. The garment should make a statement and tell a story to the buyer. College students today are very trendy. Social media is one tool that keeps students in the know of what’s trend-ing in fashion, and vintage is not always in the fore-front of those trends.”

Have you ever walked into Bal Harbour, Aventura Mall, or Lincoln Road and window shopped wishing you had thousands of dollars to afford the latest designer pieces? Yes? Well that makes two of us. I’ve come up with a quick guide to help the fashion and budget savvy look like they’ve stepped off the runway. To the right you will find pieces from some of the hot-test designer lines and similar looks from a few stores that are more in the college budget. This can be done with just about any vendor but I decided to use some of the more popular stores to show how simple it is. You can simply find a piece on what-ever site you’re using and type in a few keywords on a less expensive site and all of the pieces that match will show up. Easy, right?

What advice would you give up and coming entrepreneurs?A: Action is the foundational key to success; it’s never going to happen until you take the first step. Further, I believe that entrepreneurs are the problem solvers of the world. In that respect, find something that means a lot to you, attempt to solve a problem, and don’t give up! You’d be amazed at the amount of people you could be helping with your idea, not to mention the process of reaching your goals will be more fulfilling than you could ever imagine.

What is your entreprenuerial venture?A: I created a company called Rapid Find Technologies, which creates golf balls that can easily be located anywhere on the course.

How did this idea come about?A: The Entrepreneurial Business Chal-lenge. I found out about the challenge through a project in my operations man-agement class last year. Each spring the school holds the challenge for interested students.

What have you learned from starting your own business?A: The ins and outs of running a business are learned through experience. The chal-lenge also helped me to learn a lot about writing a business plan, setting up finan-cials, and practicing business pitches. I use a lot of what I’ve learned in class as well.

For JWU alumnus, Derek Lescrinier, working at the Fontainebleau, the largest resort in Miami, is more rewarding than it is busy. Derek is the director of rooms operations. He manages over 1,500 guestrooms and suites. With thousands of guests serviced every week, we asked Lescrinier what his typical day is like. He shared that around 8 a.m. he starts his day by reading through and answering emails from the overnight shift. He then looks over his daily reports that include guest challenges, no shows, and VIPs in preparation for the departmental meeting. Together department heads review the day’s tasks and expectations. After the morning run of logistics and necessities, Lescrinier walks the resort to engage with his team members and guests. A 2004 graduate of JWU’s Providence Campus, Lescrinier remembers his professors encouraging him early on to get a job at a hotel to learn the ins and outs of the industry. He took their advice and appreciates that

Many people want to know the big se-cret to success and how to be at the top of their game. Alec Mosher, Busi-ness Administration major, is just one of those individuals. He’s destined to be the next big thing in business and sports. What started out as a small idea, blossomed into a business that may just be a multi-billion dollar company some day. In this Q&A you can understand how he discovered his brilliant business plan. Mosher is an example a JWU student that’s taking is education to the next level, and you can too!

Derek Lescrinier of Fontainebleau Miami Beach

By Keva Mulleralong with the real-world experience he acquired while still in school, JWU ensured that he walked away with an impeccable work-ethic and stellar networking and relationship building skills to lead him successfully into the industry. Lescrinier reflects on how living and working in South Florida is the total opposite of living in Provi-dence. Because of the climate, the hospitality industry in Miami is much different and Lescrinier counts himself fortunate to have experienced both, as well as the mar-ket in Las Vegas. Of the three, he notes that South Florida has been the busiest and most robust market. As far as the tourism and hospitality landscape goes, Derek believes that the hotel industry is growing at an unbelievable rate. In South Florida alone, over the next two to three years, more than 7,000 new hotel rooms will hit the market, providing new graduates with the opportunity to enter and stake their claim in the burgeoning industry.
