All-you-can-eat charcuterie

You might have heard of all-you-can-eat sushi or Korean barbecue, but AYCE charcuterie is a new concept that Italian deli Allegrini Mozzarella (212 Merchant St.) is currently testing. The downtown Honolulu biz offered AYCE charcuterie for $10 on a recent Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. to see how well it would be received. The selection included imported Italian meats and cheeses like buffalo mozzrella, prosciutto, salami, smoked mozzarella, Grana Padano and more.
