I love that place.

There's a few of these places in Queens that are also pretty ace. Can't go too often, but when you have a gang of people it's great fun.

When I was a starving, stinking hippy traveler in Sydney, a kind friend took me to a churrascaria restaurant on Circular Quay. Never before nor after have I eaten with greater joy and ferocity, but I regretted having no strategy to my wolfing. By the time the best cuts came round to our table, my back teeth were already swimming. I had gorged prematurely.

Must've been some crappy-ass sunglasses.

Not Crap.

However, it's a more of a novelty than a practical restaurant. Go to Tango Sur for just as much meat , it's BYOB, and it's less expensive. That is unless you can actually eat 30-50 dollars of meat, by yourself, in one sitting. If so, by all means, then you should go to Fogo De Chao.

Prescription sunglasses. useless to everyone but me.

I can't believe I'm just now finding out about this wonderful meat paradise. I wanna go to this place right the hell now.

Fogo de Chao sure fires up a lot of meat!

Where are the animal lovers when you need them?

ate there last week. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. Didn't get hungry again until roughly 24 hours later. I'd suggest sticking with all things cow. The chicken is good, but why would you waste precious stomach space on that when you could have prime rib?

I very much enjoy dining here, which I do every few months.

It's not necessarily the best meat in the universe, but it's good meat, and there's a hell of a lot of it.

And they have a very good salad bar.

It's pretty cheap considering how full you can get.
