So a small group of New York area bloggersgot together to lunch with a certain visitor from Atlanta, and while his stay was a brief one (he was the last to arrive and the first to leave) a good time was had by all. It was my first face to face with two of the bunch and having already been impressed by their blogs, I was equally delighted to make their acquaintance.
We dined like the kings and queens we are at a Brazilian restaurant in the Times Square district, Churrascaria Plataforma. I don’t speak Portuguese, but I think loosely translated, that means “feed them until they burst.” The prix fixe menu allowed us to first pick from a very diverse menu at a large salad bar, then once seated, a strolling band of waiters brought a never-ending supply of various meats including top round of beef, flank steak, lamb, pork, salmon, spare ribs, and chicken. They carve it right onto your plate and keep bringing it until you indicate you’ve had enough by turning over a small coaster on the table. It’s so hard to self-regulate when it comes to food. Oh, then they brought dessert.
If you go, bring lots of money. We each took shifts washing and drying dishes and folding the table linen to pay for it all. And check the soccer schedule before you go. We were there when the Brazil versus Argentina match was up on the large screen tv. Those fans sure can make a lot of noise.
UPDATE Note to self: Consider becoming a vegan. My old metabolism does not process red meat like it used to. Twelve hours later I was still a hurtin’ puppy.

all this basically means is that we definiely have to do this again…and make sure that we don’t eat for 48 hours prior…
Fun, fun, fun!! Next time I’ll be ghetto and bring my foil to ensure I get my money’s worth. LOL
Nah, it was worth every cent. I just wish we had more time with ej. And that more people would have kept their promise to attend. Overall, a great time.
you are excused (for burping) *lol* i bet you all di enjoy yourselves.
by the way looks like we will have to get each other the same thing from our b-day list.
Come on, Bernie, just one more waffer, come on….
First my apology for punking out… bad Sunday morning until I realized it was time for me to leave the house I was not near being human much less social…LOL
Anyway I agree with ej we MUST do this again…. It sounds like you all had fun…
peace!
p.s. my apology to ronn and the rest of the gang for not showing up…
Nobody can process that much red meat. We ate like that for Prime’s birthday. Isn’t it sinful? But they cook that meat so well - it’s damn tasty and hard to stop.
But then you have to “pay” for it later. You should’ve seen us rushing to settle the check so we could get to the privacy of our own commode.
