Friend called me Sat Eve & said he and his wife got reservations at Fogo de Chao... I'm like what ??? I don't even know what that is. He tells me I need to eat at this place to believe it. So, I'm in....

It's a Brazilian steak house on Chestnut St in Philly. I believe they have a few nationwide locations as well (pics are not mine)...

Basically is price fixe. You start out with a "salad bar", that has some awesome stuff in it:

They have like a zillion different types of "meat":

The crazy thing is, after your done with their "salad bar", waiters just constantly come up to you with different cuts of fire cooked beef, pork, and some chicken and sausages... Just constantly putting more on your plate. They rotate all the meat, so you are trying everything.... They are also constantly re-filling different side dishes. So your constantly eating, and they are constantly putting more on your plate:

So, your plate always looks like this:

I ate a mind numbing amount of beef. I usually don't like "eat a lot" places, but this was different because all the cuts were top notch and everything else was excellent.

If you have a Fogo de Chao in a city near you, I highly recommend it. The food is excellent, and it's a fun dining experience. Just come hungry.
