Mupepe would be so proud. I just left my first churrasco.

Holy fuck balls. It was so good. SO GOOD. Meat on sticks everywhere. The restaurant just opened and is one of the closest restaurants to my house now. My body is doomed. My husband is my designated driver because I am too food-drunk to be behind the wheel right now.

fogo de chao... so many memories haha... I never got the all you can eat, but all of my friends do, which means they are usually crawling out of the building when they are done.

Awwwww snap!! I told you like 2 years ago that churrascarias are the shiznit! Woot. Did they have the cheese bread??

fogo de chao is good but overpriced as fuck. Luckily these fucking restaurants are all over Houston. They're usually better than fogo de chao and like 2/3 the price or less.

I went to a new Brazilian steak house down in San Antonio a few years back, they had the lunch all-you-can-eat for $20!

Had sushi at a small nondescript place down the road from me... "Port Jeff Sushi and Teriyaki". It was good! Had spicy yellowtail, and a specialty roll - avocado, eel, mango and spicy sauce. Tomorrow I'm going to a Spanish restaurant on Staten Island for a friend's birthday, and Sunday it's Easter dinner at a steakhouse in Port Jeff.

Omg I know! 2 bites into my salad I remembered your wise words to stick with the meat. Thank god because I was still miserable. But I did try the cheese bread and these tiny cheese filled rolls. Omg soo good but I only had a bite of each.

$20.99 for dinner! So cheap for all you can eat deliciousness, plus a good night's sleep.

The baby had her first steak and she's in love. I was shredding tiny bites for her on her placemat, and she was pushing my hand out of the way to look for fresh bites. Thank god it was so loud in there because she would squeal with happiness. GIMME THEM BITES MOM!!!! She's a total fatty friend already, despite being so skinny. She ate and ate and ate, and then I look over and she was sitting back in her seat and had found her pacifier and looked content and exhausted. She was asleep by the time we got out of the parking lot lol She's still asleep!

We're going to Cheeburger Cheeburger tonight with some friends.

aw shit! She's got good genes!! She's tasted the carne and she's never going back to peas and crap!

youre the second person I've seen mention cheeburger cheeburger. What's their thing? What makes them unique. Diana and I went and had a buffalo burger at bubbas burger shack last weekend. Man it had been ages but its still the best burger I have ever eaten. The best!!!

tonight is pizza and tacos.

Not sure about Cheeburger Cheeburger yet. This will be our first time

I hope it's more like Smashburger than Five Guys, but I have no clue what to expect.

Smashburger is my favorite chain burger by far. We have a few local places that are similar where you can get Mac&cheese on the burger and shit. Plus I work in the middle of locally-owned restaurant Mecca so we're always going to these little bars for amazing burgers. Blows Five Guys out of the water.

No

going to the Chesterfield one. Where on Manchester is there another Cheeburger Cheeburger? I work off Manchester but on the Maplehood/Brentwood side.

Edit: Nm Just saw it's near 270. Mannnnnn I can't go at lunch then.

lennedsay · « **Reply #19 on:** March 30, 2013, 10:50:39 PM »

Oh man, Cheeburger Cheeburger.

You order what size burger you want and then pick your bun, cheese, and whatever toppings and sauce you want. I'm boring and only got a few things, but the boys got all these sauces and crazy shit. I was more impressed with their huge selection of shakes. I didn't know what to get, so I ended up with a frozen hot chocolate shake. Delish. I'm too picky to get wild on the burgers though.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #20 on:** March 31, 2013, 02:21:10 AM »

that's funny, they named the chain after the SNL skit making fun of the Billy Goat Tavern guys. Sounds like the burgers are way better than BGT tho

Went for conveyor-belt sushi for lunch. Everything is automated. Regular conveyor belt carries the standard selection. You can special order through a touch-screen, and those items arrive on an express conveyor belt above the regular one.

The number of plates you've eaten is counted by a return mechanism; feed the plates into the return slot, you get a chance to win stuff from a gachapon/capsule toy vendor above the sushi lanes. Definitely felt like I was in Japan.

The food wasn't bad, which was pretty surprising. Not exactly an ancient artisan's work, but the automated environment made it a memorable experience.

Hmm, Smashburger opened fairly close to here a few years ago and I was kinda disappointed with it... everything seemed to be so wet. I think I prefer 5 Guys to it (though some of our local fast food chains are still the best). Haven't been to Cheeburger Cheeburger yet though... and I'm jealous you got to go to a Churrascaria, I LOOOOVE those.

Too often, chicken pot pie and a bottle wine for like $7 is a good deal but getting kind of old.

You're in Santa Cruz right? There's a Trader Joe's on Front Street.

If you want to put a LITTLE more effort into a meal: a quick and easy recipe I taught rodi was to just grab a bag of those frozen meatballs, some canned red sauce and some artichoke hearts and throw them into a pot and heat through. Takes like five minutes.

Ends up like this:

I've also heard you can microwave fresh corn on the cob (also five minutes) but I haven't actually tried it myself.

Barry Egan · « **Reply #28 on:** March 31, 2013, 05:10:43 PM »

I like CG's suggestion. TJ frozen meatballs are really flavorful, I cook them up for a quick 5 minute meal all the time.

chronovore · « **Reply #29 on:** March 31, 2013, 10:43:24 PM »

Trader Joe's: I used to get the rigatoni, frozen cooked shrimp, and a tub of pesto. I'd cook the pasta, then drain, and toss the pesto in skillet, and toss in the pesto and shrimp. Double-yummy.

lennedsay · « **Reply #30 on:** March 31, 2013, 10:52:47 PM »

Oh lord, my parents came over for Easter. It was surprisingly nice outside so in lieu of traditional Easter food, we grilled some strip steaks. I made some crazy broccoli cheese bacon side dish, a corn cake better than the thing you get at Chevy's, and a salad. For dessert I made banana cream pie cupcakes with homemade whip cream frosting.

What a fatty weekend.

Chicken, sweet potato and onion roasted in maple syrup with rice and a side of rasped cucumber with chillies.

From last week. Cod with basil, chillies, carrots and beans and a bit of garlic.

Simple meal: smoked salmon, philly cheese, fresh garlic, chillies, basil and some lemon juice.

Just chicken and veg skewers.

Pear cake made by my fiancée.

Sweet potato and parsnip crisps, so much work for so little food!

So you eat fried chicken with utensils for fear of making a mess all over yourself, and you can only eat one pancake? I finally get it now: you're six years old.
