Meat and More Meat

I had a new experience tonight at Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chao in Atlanta. Basically, the deal here is that waiters hover around the dining room carrying spit-roasted meat on skewers, carving succulent slices beef, lamb, pork and chicken directly onto your plate until you're completely stuffed.

It's a chain, so it's somewhat "chain like," but no more so than Ruth's Chris or Morton's. The meat, however, tastes great. The danger is that because you can eat as much as you want, you can easily become over-stuffed. I did.

Sophisticated dining it is not, but the impeccable service and great food made for a unique and totally enjoyable evening.
