| - Ever met someone who was bipolar and each personality was an extreme opposite - as in complete madness and complete joy?
That would seem to describe rumjungle - a place that is sometimes a mad club with overpriced drinks and at other times a delicious Brazilian bbq with some of the most delicious food I have EVER consumed. We ordered the Rodizio fire pit, which is a $33 all you can eat Brazilian BBQ with both unlimited meat AND appetizers.
First we began with a mixed plate that included a couple different salads, cold cuts of salami, cheese, and potato salad. The bread was warm, toasted on the outside but soft on the inside, and came with a pesto-olive oil like substance that was garlic flavored (you dipped the bread in it). It was tangy and satisfying, and I could have powered through a whole night of just bread and sauce had the meat not come. Oh and the cuban black beans served with pineapple white rice were fricking AMAZING. Then the meats hit.
The meats that came out included:
-Applewood smoked Bacon wrapped chicken (guava chipotle bbq sauce) - HANDS DOWN THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER HAD. Crispy outside, chewy inside and made me shake - it was that good
-Chorizo
-Free range turkey with habanero ginger sauce
-Tri tip beef with rub of garlic and chiles
-Top Round Lamb
-Top sirloin with sugar cane and guava caramelized demiglaze - SOOOO TENDER and the outside was lightly sweet and joygasmic
-Tamarind and rum glazed pork with pineapple - anything with pineapple just screams awesomeness
Whitney, our uber cute hostess, brought everything with a smile, and I swear she was flirting with me. Unless she's that cool with everyone. Whitney, if you're reading this - send me a message! ;-)
All of the servers who brought the meat out were really nice too and let me take pics of the various cuts. Service awesome, food AMAZING, and I left here having paid $50 (tax, tip and everything, although I only had a diet coke). It was kinda dark in here, but the food takes care of any atmosphere gripes.
I would come back here in a heartbeat - for the food anyway. The last time I came here for the bar, it was utter chaos.
