"The Meal: Vaca Frita, $13 Blue Sky is a Cuban restaurant that specializes in food by the pound—a concept we love so much. But even if you haven't been tasked with feeding an entire baby shower, you should still come here for the $12.95 vaca frita dinner: a big styrofoam box full of juicy vaca frita strips, rice, thick black beans, and maduros. You’ll never be able to finish it in one sitting. These dinners aren’t charged by the pound, but we weighed it anyway. 1.75 pounds, in case you were curious." - Ryan Pfeffer, Virginia Otazo
