Churrascaria

Wow! We had the most delicious and unique dinner the other night. Jason flew back from a Chemistry conference, and we decided to try out a churrascaria in Richmond. This style of cooking is from Brazil and men dressed in gaucho clothing come around with chunks of rotisserie-cooked meat on swords and they shave off pieces for you. You have this little coaster that is red on one side and green on the other. If you have the green side up, the wandering swordsmen come and offer you cuts of meat. When it is time for a break, you flip the coaster to red and they don't offer. There is also a salad bar with all sorts of side items that you can have along with the meat, but we almost forgot about that option once they started piling meat on our plates. It was an amazing feast!
