Holy Cow

Never has the saying "holy cow" been more appropriately used than to describe my experience at Fogo De Chao. If you're never heard of it, they simply bring around fifteen different cuts of meat and you eat till you drop. I weighed myself before and after. The verdict? If the scale was telling the truth, I ate 5.5 pounds worth of meat! I think I got my yearly allowance of protein in one meal.

My first thought as they started bringing top sirloin and filet mignon and prime rib? I wonder if this is what the Marriage Supper of the Lamb will be like.

What a Father's Day gift!

Holy Cow.

Isn't that place the bomb? We went there before the Drive Conference in Atlanta last year. The salad bar (if you can call it that) is a little exotic (for a guy from West Virginia) but the meat is the main feature!

Man, that place is wonderful! Last year during my first trip to D.C. my wife and I ate there. It is the best! And the mints...they were even awesome.

Next week the 25th through the 30th I am bringing a group of 56 Middle/High School students to D.C. to help a church that was planted about a year ago. I am hoping to be able to come by the coffee shop. I am constantly inspired by your blog and the story of your church. I wish I could get away for a little bit to peek in on the buzz conference, but I do not think I will be able to.

sorry for the long comment.

I saved my little green and red token thing - very cool. There are grease spots on it, kinda like a badge of honor!

Michael,

I saved my token too :) Love that thing. May be the best restaurant idea ever!

For those who have never been, when you turn your card over to the green side the meat keeps coming and doesn't stop until you turn it to the red side!
