Dinner at Fogo de Chao

You would be so proud.

Wade, the vegetarian, went to Fogo de Chao. Think Ruth Chris Steakhouse on steroids - (oops, cows are already on steroids) - ok, imagine if everyone went to a Ruth Chris, ordered a steak, and then they brought out the live cow and asked which part you wanted (can you say, "Lobster Tank"?). OK, so it wasn't that bad, but you should already have a sense of my need for drama by now.

Actually, it wasn't that bad. Granted they had 20 people walking around with large skewers of meat, but the meat was definitely dead.

So I know you're all asking, what does a vegetarian eat at Fogo de Chao's? Let me tell you, they had the most amazing salad bar I've ever seen. Seriously, it probably had about 150 dishes, and not cheap things like seasame seeds or garbanzo beans, but nice buffalo mozzarella, stewed beans, etc. They actually want to make the salad bar amazing, so you eat less meat. Tricky, tricky.
