Fres Co Buffet
Posted on: April 11, 2011
Fres Co is a chain restaurant that can be found all around Barcelona! The one I went to is on Carrer de Casp, right near Laietana and Placa Catalunya! The buffet costs only 12 euro for all you can eat food!

Once you get past the cold dishes, you can make your way to the back for hot ones! Under heat lamps, they keep a variety of hot food. The food changes slightly daily, so you never know exactly what you´re going to get! When I was there, they had multiple kinds of pizza and pasta. Also available by the hot food is meats that can be grilled for you. When you arrive in the back there is a glass case filled with different kabobs or other types of meats. There are people behind the case at a grill there to cook it for you. 
Also at Fres Co are a wide variety of sauces and spices to get your food exactly the way you want it. You can find almost any kind of sauce there, many of which are hard to find in Barcelona: such as honey mustard.
When you are finished with your meal there is also a section for desserts! They have different types of cakes and fruit out for you to take. Also, they have a machine that dispenses frozen yogurt and coffee machines for people who like to drink coffee after meals.
Overall, I think Fres Co is a decent place to go if you are hungry. The price is great but the food is just mediocre. If you are looking for a meal that will blow your mind it is definitely not the place to go. Although most of the food seems fresh it is not the best quality of food.
Here is a video of the restaurant lay out and preparation for a basic meal that I found on YouTube if anyone is interested in going!
MicheBelz Hollywood Podcast
Posted on: April 11, 2011
I found MicheBelz Hollywood Podcast on the website podcast alley! The reason I was drawn to it was because the front page of podcast alley had an interview with the creator of it, since it has gained popularity! Michelle Belaskie is an entertainment journalist in Hollywood who is also a theatre critic. In her podcast, she covers film, television, radio, celebrities, award shows, and more!
I am interested in this podcast because I love reading about celebrity gossip! I already am a regular reader of Perez Hilton so I am very interested in what Michelle has to say! Her broadcast is independent of an organization.
In her podcast, she makes mention of stars from Jonah Hill, best known for his role in the popular comedy Superbad, to stars like the classic Marilyn Monroe. 
Michelle uses spiced up dialogue to draw in the interest of listeners! Another reason I recommend her blog is because she makes predictions for award shows! It’s always interesting to hear who other people think will win the big Oscar or Emmy award for their category. I think she has an educated opinion based on her profession so it makes what she has to say that much better!
She has had over 100 episodes of her podcast! I think her consistency is another reason her podcast is great. There is always something with new information to listen to! It is easy to follow and is always recent and relevant.
Here is a direct link to Michelle’s podcast: http://www.mevio.com/feeds/michebelzhollywood.xml, so that you can listen for your enjoyment at anytime from your computer or IPOD!
Also embedded in this post is the most recent podcast done by Michelle! It’s great to give you a taste of her style and what her show is all about!
