Meat at it's best

Last week I made it to Fogo de Chao, a new Brazilian Steakhouse, for lunch and it was dazzling.

You start off with a salad bar that besides a great salad contains whole fresh balls of motzerella (amongst other very good cheeses), bamboo shoots, artichokes, proschutto, salami and some good red peppers. Besides the salad bar spread they hit up your table with some grilled bananas and fried plantains (which taste pretty much just like cheese curds).

Once you've had your go round at the salad bar spread it is time to take the little round card you have an flip it to green. That is when the real fun starts. We had server after server flying up to our table each with a skewer of meat to be had. Each person has a miniture tongs to grab the slices of meat that the servers cut off for you. After a whirlwind of lamb x2, chicken, beef x3 and sausage the server comes back to our table and askes us if we needed anything more... we all slowly shake our heads when he comes back with an unthinkable response. "filet mignon?" [in a thick brazilian accent (not the I'm sure what a brazilian accent sounds like but I'd certainly like to believe this guy wasn't Polish)].

Find a new team

If this jersey isn't a must have for you as a Vikings fan why don't you go ahead and find a new team. Here are some samplings of conversions I'd expect to have with you going forward.

Convo #1
Me [rocking my #1 Edinger game worn home jersey] - Did you see Greenway flick off all of Ford stadium as he took that INT to the house?
You - I was pissed because I was routing for the Lions now that they have Calvin Johnson and I've become a dueschbag.

Convo #2
You - You must have been pissed when the Vikes cut Kelly Cam last year after you spent a ton of money on that game worn jersey.
Me [ pimped out ] - Quite the contrary my friend... I spent 700 bone on this jersey 2 years after he played for queens. Enjoy the Lions game you whore.
