107301 Sat Jun 21 17:44:42 -0700 2003 11 24 Canada 0 580610 I'm heading to Vancouver to work for a week or so, and I'm looking for a place that might serve my Atkins needs. I'm a huge fan of Churrascaria/Rodizio- (On a recent visit to San Antonio I spend most evenings at Do Brazillia, and during the course of a week in New Jersey I hit Churrascaria Plataforma twice and Green Field twice.) So...where can a hungry dinosaur such as myself find satisfaction in the Pacific Northwest ? TBG Sat Jun 21 17:44:42 -0700 2003 0 The Big Guy 1 580620 Easy - Memphis Blues Barbecue House - It's out-freakin'-standing. They actually get it almost right. It's just east of Granville on Broadway. For whats it's worth it gets voted as the top meat spot consistantly, which I concur is usually not a good indicator, but is in this instance. Mon Jun 23 12:01:59 -0700 2003 580610 0 Lurker 2 580629 Your right - Memphis Blues is a winner! Tue Jun 24 07:06:50 -0700 2003 580620 0 Fiona 1 580622 Well all dinosaurs should go to the "Dino Room" - which is what I call Hy's Steak House! It is a true throwback to the era of the original steak house, dark, a little dingy, waitresses that have been there since the dawn of time... you get the idea. The downside - you can't have (I am assuming) their fantastic cheesebread on Atkins... perhaps a little slide off the program for one night?? It is truly fantastic! Enjoy Vancouver!

Mon Jun 23 17:10:45 -0700 2003 580610 0 Coop 1 580624 I thought there was a Brazilian churrascaria place called "Rio Grill" or something around Alberni and Thurlow. Anybody know anything? Mon Jun 23 17:48:58 -0700 2003 580610 0 Tobias 2 580625 It is called Samba's and is downstairs where the Keg used to be. I haven't heard much about it though. Generally downtown the choices are: Keg, local chain, the above-mentioned Samba's, Hy's, Gotham, 900 West and Mortons. Maybe a few more around but those come to mind. Mon Jun 23 18:33:13 -0700 2003 580624 0 Annie, Vancouver 3 580660 So... Does anyone know if Samba's is a churrascaria? BTW- Thanks for the info, everyone... ;) Wed Jun 25 18:46:45 -0700 2003 580625 0 The Big Guy 4 580662 Yes, it is.
