I've heard many people speak of the glutenous acts that occur at this Brazilian steakhouse. So naturally, I wanted to check it out for myself and what better time than restaurant week.
I planned my day around this event in order to maximize my appetite upon arrival and despite the temptation I did not use performance enhancers. The veterans in our group each shared strategies for optimum performance however I held fast to my original game plan which was to tip toe very carefully around the side items and salad bar in order to devour maximum meat.
On the salad bar I chose: smoked salmon, carpaccio, smoked gouda, one carefully selected stalk of asparagus, and mixed greens topped with marinated artichoke hearts. The carpaccio dipped in their horseradish sauce and the marinated artichoke hearts were definitely the highlights of the salad bar.
Now for the MAIN event.......ding....ding...fighting from table 21 weighing in at 148.5 lbs.......RED PINT!
When I flipped my coin to red the first guy to appear was carrying what ended up to be my favorite cut of the evening, the lamb chop. I devoured three lamb chops along with a sample of almost all other 15 offerings of meat. My second favorite behind the lamb chop was definitely the sirloin.
The side items on the table were not very exciting, but let's be honest that's not what we came here or. The mashed potatoes were way too rich (loaded with butter, cream and cheese) and everything else was fried.
Overall it was a great experience and I would consider bringing friends and family who have not dined at a similar Brazilian steakhouse or perhaps a vegetarian girl because lord knows I only want to pay once for the full rodizio.
