Brazilian Steakhouse Follies

Crazy Bo is in town for a while so we thought it would be fun to take him and Granison (and Garry) to a Brazilian Steakhouse.  I Googled around and found Fogo de Chao down in the Inner Harbor.  I set up a reservation and off we went.

For those who don't know, a Brazilian Steakhouse is a place where, once you're seated, you find on your table a block of wood, or a card, or some similar token.  One side is red, one side is green.  So you sit and the token's red side is up.  Nothing happens.  Turn it over so that green is up, however, and waiters appear at your side with huge skewers bearing different cuts of meat.  Get a slice or two...or three.. then turn the token to red.  Eat away.  Turn it back to green....and here comes more meat!  All you can eat.

So we did and it was delicious.

Bo starts the main act...

Granison is apparently worried that someone will come by and steal his food,
so he keeps meat in both fists and alternates between them.

Really, I have no caption for this...

So we had a good time.  Then the bill arrived.  <GASP!>  Considerably more than I had anticipated!  But it was great.  Everyone was full and Garry's belly hurt.
