Steaks! Beef...Prime cuts of it, that's the only way to do it. My fascination for the Brazilian steakhouses leads me to write this post.
Thank you Google, and thank you Yelp because with it I can just click on a restaurant anywhere in the world. And my random click landed me on this restaurant in New York City. Churrascaria Platforma Brazilian Steakhouse, located at 316 W 49th St. Phone: 212-245-0505, just looking at their website it looks as if the operators are detailed oriented.
Here's the link: CHURRASCARIA PLATFORMA

The Gourmet Salad Bar
What is interesting is the fresh veggies are accompanied by four native Brazilian casseroles that are made from old world recipes. And they push this salad, it is called a salpicao (a unique Brazilian chicken salad), eggplant casserole, and many other gourmet Brazilian dishes.

They have during dinner hours, shrimp cocktail, Mediterranean octopus salad, and a variety of Japanese sushi, sashimi, and handcrafted rolls at the salad bar.
But this is the stuff I want to sample, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, they serve their traditional "Feijoada" it is a long-simmering authentic Brazilian signature dish made with black beans, savory cuts of pork, and fresh herbs.
The Meat
When you are done eating your salad, you'll notice a disc on the table that is red on one side, and green on the other. When eating your salad, keep it red, and when you are done, flip it to green, and then these meat carvers called Passadores (meat cutters) will come to your table with a huge skewer with cuts of fresh roasted meats, beef, lamb, pork or chicken, and carve it for you right there at your table. Wow! This sounds rocking! And I guess if you are stuffed, just flip the disc back to red.
