### 🇧🇷 | The 'Big Barbecue' Challenge (Week 4)!

Our chefs last week were Microsoft Student Ambassadors Rogerio Rodrigues and Sydney Cirqueira from Brazil! And they joined Cloud Advocates Lucas Santos and Chloe Condon to talk about that most Brazilian of festive traditions - the barbecue!! 

<!-- {% youtube  %} -->

From the [project brief](https://github.com/microsoft/Seasons-of-Serverless/blob/main/Dec-14-2020.md)

> _In Brazil, everyone loves a big barbecue! Brazilian barbecue is justifiably famous. Everyone's friends and family gets together for a feast, complete with grilled meats called churrasco, typically beef with different marinades.._

> _Big events like this can get expensive, and you need to stay in within your budget. We have gained access to a spreadsheet used to organize large family barbecues. Using the percentages in the spreadsheet, create a serverless method of determining how many people you can invite based on a given budget_
