Porcao

Description:

• The name sounds eerily like "pork out," which is what you'll be doing at this exceptional Brazilian churrascaria (a Brazilian-style restaurant devoted mostly to meat -- it's the Portuguese translation of "steakhouse"). For about $40, you can feast on salads and meat after you sample the unlimited gourmet buffet, which includes such fillers as pickled quail eggs, marinated onions, and an entire pig. Do not stuff yourself here, as the next step is the meaty part: Choose as much lamb, filet mignon, chicken hearts, and steak as you like, grilled, skewered, and sliced right at your table. Side dishes also come with the meal, ranging from beans and rice to fried yucca.
