Hey all. So a few days ago, Marie and I went to Brazzaz for lunch. For those of you unfamiliar with the area, Brazzaz is a Brazilian-style steak house, in which you pay one price for as much meat as you can consume. What seems like a dozen of these places are open for business in Chicago. Seems like anyone can open one, as long as they have three things:
1 (and the most important): A website that plays 70s porn music. This appears to be of the utmost importance. How one gets from the cheesy seductiveness of a porn soundtrack to all-you-can-eat steak is beyond me, but apparently its a pre-requisite. For example, http://brazzaz.com/, or http://www.texasdebrazil.com/. Once you have that, its time to go on to...
2: Guys in pirate suits. Supposedly these guys are dressed up as "gauchos", or Brazilian cowboys. Unfortunately, the slightly puffy pants, the belts, and the boots make them look more like pirates. I personally think that pirates walking around with enormous skewers of meat would be a brilliant idea for a restaurant. In fact, more things should be pirate themed. Or maybe its just me.
3: Meat. All ways, all shapes, all sizes, all the time. Stick said meat on a spit, roast it, and serve it. Preferably wrapped in bacon. The more copious, the better. Supposedly, people are expected to eat about a pound and a half per meal. This doesnt sound like much, but it certainly feels like it.
Well, I'm back home in NY now, and things are getting a little crazy, although I'm probably going to need some time to digest it all before I can post.
May all your hits be crits,
B
