Birthday Recap

Is it possible to go into a meat coma? Cause I really think thats what happened last night.

Danny, Jessi, Adam and I went to Fogo de Chao, which is a brazilian restaurant in Beverly Hills for my birthday. Now, if you've never been to a place like this, its quite interesting. Luckily, we prepared ourselves from past experiences there. The moment you sit down, the meat arrives. Men with swords, wearing gaucho pants, walk around carving away til you flip your little coaster over to the red side. Green means MORE, red means STOP. Needless to say, even when its on red, they still try to tempt you with their meat. Hah. I believe they have 15 different types of meat there, ranging from pork, to chicken, to beef, to lamb. Its just insanity. So yea...about 15 minutes into the meal, my poor little tummy went into shock. I was already full. Did I mention that they bring you fried bananas, mashed potatoes, fried polenta sticks and cheese rolls on top of all the meat? No? Well, they do. PLUS, there is a ginormous salad bar with cheeses, breads, salads, veggies, etc...Its just more food than anyone has the right to eat.

Needless to say, we stayed at our table for almost 3 hours. Danny and Adam enjoyed Round 2 of the meat, while Jessi and I sat there trying to digest our food.

Then we had dessert. There are 15 choices of dessert as well. Must be their magic number. I had vanilla ice cream, Danny had creme brulee, and Jessi & Adam had tres leches.

The meal was great. The company was even better, and I am so glad that I spent my birthday the way I did last night. It was perfect.

Now, USC better win the damn game today!! =)
