I went to Churrascaria Plataforma with a bunch of friends from work last night. It's this great Brazilian BBQ place in NYC. It's basically an all-you-can-eat feast (and relatively cheap at that, especially considering how expensive beef is these days).
Here's the premise: you have a little disc in front of you with a red side and a green side. Waiters walk around with huge skewers of meat, and if it's green you're getting some.
Sirloin, tenderloin, pork chop, lamb, flank steak, turkey and bacon, honey baked ham, chicken sausage... the list goes on.
There's a “salad bar” with some “non-meat products” (made up mostly of sushi, fish, prosciutto and various cheeses), but basically it's all meat, all the time.
We were the last group left, although we didn't start until about 9pm. And by the time we were done, we almost literally had to crawl out of there.
I'm still feeling the effects of the feast today. I woke up with a meat hangover.
And much like the more traditional hangover, I could bear the sight of the offending substance. The smell of the bacon while I was getting breakfast this morning almost made me vomit.
Man, this place must love the Atkins diet.
