Thanks to Stephen's boss, we were treated to a really fun dining experience at Texas de Brazil. If you haven't been there, let me give you a little preview:
It's a one-price deal and you can eat as much as you want. Kids under 6 are FREE - which we loved. There's a gourmet-type salad bar area with lots of stuff I had never tried before as well as a sidebar with rice and potato dishes and a soup (lobster bisque!). Then, the fun begins! Turn your coaster-like signal card from red to green to bring on the meat!
The restaurant is teeming with Brazilian gauchos, each serving a different meat from a 2-foot long sword-like skewer. I must say that I don't think I've ever eaten meat with so much red in it, but...it was GOOD! We tried many different meats including bacon-wrapped filet mignon (the best!!), flank steak, pork loin, bacon-wrapped chicken breast, parmesan chicken breast, lamb chops, BBQ pork ribs, sausage...hmmm, maybe others? I can't remember.
The garlic-mashed potatoes and sweet fried bananas were really good too!! And dessert looked fabulous, but we took a pass since there was nothing Mr. Blue-Eyes could have with his milk allergy.
For being in a rather pricey, swanky restaurant, the boys behaved beautifully - we were SO thankful. They really enjoyed the meats, too, and were eager to try whatever the gauchos were bringing by the table. And they had great fun flipping from "red light" to "green light" to request more meat!
