Fogo de chao is almost like a Brazilian steak house! I wouldn't recommend it to vegetarians, although they have a huge self-service salad bar.

It works like this. You pay a flat fee for the food (all you can eat), excluding drinks. You have unlimited access to the salad bar with this. Then they start to serve all kinds of meat on your table. On most Brazilian "churrascarias", there's a card with one side red and the other green. When you leave on your table the green side up, they keep serving meat! When you're done, you just flip the card.

The salad bar is a lot better than most restaurants. And usually they have pasta there, like lasagna and some other stuff. I, personally, wouldn't pay to get access to the salad bar only. But then again, I'm paying for my wife that's almost a vegetarian ...

she'd probably be more comfortable with another couple, but i never know with her i'll ask her tonight

the only problem i'm seeing now with room sharing, is not being able to use a travel site to bundle the airfare and hotel together

Fogo de Chao is not a cheap meal - At the one in Dallas, I'd say we average about $100 for a couple, with drinks and dessert. Obviously you save a bunch if you skip the booze and sugar.

I would also say that it is not very vegetarian friendly. The salad bar is Impressive, no doubt... But paying $30+ for salad seems kind of ludicrous to me.


I'm not wedded to the Fogo idea. I'd happily go someplace more vegetarian friendly.

The Fogo place may be more of a big dinner thing-

I think Chicago style pizza is fine for a lunch.

I mentioned this in the other thread but it bears repeating...

I'll be in town for Anime Central as is my tradition...so chances are good I could stop in on whatever is going on at some point in the weekend.

I'm not really seeing the whole weekend as planned out, so I am still wanting to go to Fogo de Chao on Friday lunchtime, especially since not everyone's going to be able to arrive that early. It's just lunch, too: it's not going to take forever. I can definitely recommend one (two) pizza place, though: Uno's/Due's. It's/They're right downtown, right near each other, and absolutely awesome.

Mmmm. Make sure you know what you want as soon as you get to the door at Uno's. The seating area is at a premium during a rush, and so they get your pie order, and you wait a bit before they seat you, if it's busy. I like their cheesy garlic bread, num.
