| - As much as I dislike using the word 'epic' to describe things (these days, everything is considered 'epic'), if I HAD to describe one experience with this word, the Rodizio dinner at Gaucho would be it.
To start, we each had a caipirinha cocktail (lime and sugar can liqueur over ice) served traditionally to 'open the stomach'. Very tasty, but quite strong... not for the weak of heart. We were also served a complimentary appetizer of mandioca frita (cassava wedges topped with cheese, sea salt, and oregano)- very good, and nice and hot.
Gaucho's 'salad bar' for me, could have been the entire meal. The most incredible fish stew... the most memorable dish. Could have had several servings of this stew, if it had not been for the barbeque.
I am in love with the huge scewers of meat that the servers haul around... it's so primal. 'RAWR! MEAT! I SLICE YOU SOME!'
Meat, luscious meat. Meat wrapped in bacon! Meat wrapped in bacon, wrapped in meat... (maybe not, but one can always dream).
Will cost you a considerable bit of money, but it's well worth it.
