Rick Ross is no longer “the biggest boss that you seen this far” after losing 100+ lbs, following an extreme lifestyle change. Recently a food blog, The Cheap, The Best & The Hidden, that explores the best hidden eateries in NYC and LA teamed up with fashion blog, The Coveteur to recreate the Boss’ favorite salad.
