Te Dudes — Aron Lesser ’15 ad Gab Lssr ’5 — brught thr popular college-town ood blog, the Dudes o Food, to Providence last smstr. Tugh th tw brthrs hail most recently rom Atlanta — where they began the blog three years ago — they previously lived in Brazil and Providence. Tey base their blog on a concept they call “FSFW” — ull stomach, ull wallet — which they think is particularly palatable t g tws. Gearing their blog toward college yuth, th Duds am t hag th way Brown undergraduates interact with Providence. “ons o Brown students never even think about leaving campus, but Providence is so small,” Aron said. “It’ s so acc essible by oot,” he added, calling it “a shame” that studts d’t tak adatag t. Aron said oodies at Brown don’t think o going to other neighbor- hds r hap, tasty mas. “Ty think ‘Oh, I know the best restaurant Fdra H ,’” h addd.

President Ruth Smms aud that th Universi ty will continue discussions with the city in an email to the Brown mmuty Saturday. “Brown likes to position itsel as th sa just adr amgst th Is. But w wat that brad- ing, we have to take responsibility or what those values mean,” said Aaron Regunberg ’12 at the press r. Te inability to nd money in the University’s budget or the city stems rom misplaced priorities, Regun- berg said. “In 2009, Brown paid its 14 highest-compensated employees $7,73,75.
