At any rate, has anyone tried Fire Bull in Peabody or any of the other Churrasco offerings in the Boston area? Which do you think are the best?

I prefer Cafe Belo in Allston (and another location in Kenmore Sq.) where you serve yourself the buffet foods, have a guy at the end of the line carve the amount of meat you want and pay by the pound ($4 or so per lb). A very good deal. Tue May 28 07:19:01 -0700 2002 761147 0 Joanie 1 761170 I think you'll find that "foodies"do not frequent steak houses all that much. Steakhouses are still considered very traditional, and the bastion of buiness men on big expense accounts. Tue May 28 10:34:01 -0700 2002 761147 0 hank 2 761179 The restaurants Paul mentions are actually not steakhouses. They're 'churrascos'. I went to one in Texas, and really enjoyed it. I don't know how the local ones compare, I've been meaning to go. It's basically a Brazilian bbq where the waiters bring various grilled meat on skewers and slice off chunks for your meal. There's a link to the restaurant I went to in Houston to give you an idea, although I don't know if the ones around here are anything like this place: Link: http://www.fogodechao.com/ Tue May 28 12:25:51 -0700 2002 761170 0 Rubee
