At the office, we had a bet on whether or not we would finish four projects by the end of April.

We finished seven. So our CEO agreed to take us out to dinner, wherever we choose, and as a bonus he threw in a free limo ride.

When you win a bet like that, of course you want to eat at some place ridiculously expensive. And if you know me, all dinner celebrations absolutely must have big portions.

So my Brazilian co-worker, Rodrigo, comes up with the greatest suggestion ever: Brazilian BBQ. And if you don't know, that's the all-you-can-eat place where you stay seated at your table while waiters come around and slice off servings of meat straight off the spear.

God damn, that was such a fucking good idea! Lemme show you how that afternoon went:

The limo is here!

As you can see, I'm totally ecstatic:

Brazilian BBQ 101. Even thought the salad buffet is supposedly superb, you stay the fuck away from it! And for the dinner rolls, they serve these amazingly fluffy cheese bread. Taste a little but not too much!

Their grilled bananas feel good in your mouth too:

There's a two-sided card next to every plate. Red means stop. Green means go.

We like green.

One thing I need to note for any first-time Fogo de Chão goer: when your card is green, the waiters will absolutely bombard you with meat. I swear, they rush at you like a large group of zombies, but instead of eating you, they want to feed you. It's intimidating as hell.

In no particular order, here's a couple of my favorites:

• Picanha — One of our most popular cuts, this prime part of the sirloin is served seasoned with sea salt or flavored with garlic.
• Filet Mignon — This succulent piece of meat is cut from the tenderloin and seasoned to perfection. Also served wrapped in bacon.
• Linguica — These robust pork sausages are seasoned and slow-roasted to mouthwaterinf perfection.

And then to top it off, I had the chocolate mousse cake (which was definitely the largest of all the desserts):

And then, sleepy time:

So how much was it? Well from what I've heard, it's about $35/person for lunch. For dinner, it's supposedly around $75/person. And that's not even including the wine and desserts. But I promise you, it is worth it once in your life.
