Many travellers that come to Brazil are surprised about Brazil's steaks
too. We have a variety here that we call "rodizio" where you are served as
much meat as you can take - grilled, sticks, barbecue, you call it -
several varieties are served on your table. No limit, fixed price - less
than US$ 8.00 in most cities (except Sao Paulo, everything is expensive in
SP). At work I'm used to guest consultants, mainly from the US, and it is
really funny to see them at lunch in a place like this - some of them eat
way too much to actually work in the afternoon.
BTW there are already some brazilian "rodizios" in NY and other cities
worldwide, but the price is *much* more expensive than in Brazil.
