HELL YEA! Thats one of the best Brazilian steak houses in Houston. If its the same company, you're in for a treat. Love that fuckin place.
Spectacular. You'll want to fast before you go. The Fogo in Minneapolis served meats as good if not better than what I had in Brazil but the salad buffet thing was very American in comparison. Regardless, excellent food.
What he said. Just skip the salad bar all together. Salad is for pansies and homosexuals. And there is no place for any of that on Thanksgiving. Just eat as much as you can. And don't fill up on the delicious little rolls either. You will want to. For they were made by Victorias Secret models and contain hints of unicorn.
It's more of an experience than just dinner. You'll receive a little button, one side green, one side red. If green is up, youll be surrounded by skewers of meat, like a restaraunt gang bang. Every cut is simply amazing, especially the bacon wrapped filet and chicken. Also try their house caprinhas, similar to a mojito.
All I did with the salad bar was pile cheese on my plate and create a little flight of bruschettas for my girlfriend and I, which was awesome. You have to give a salad bar credit when it has what appears to be a 50 kg wheel of parmesan cheese on one end. They made a couple caipirinhas for me and nailed them. The cachaça liquor is like rum's weird cousin, but is good. I want to go back now.
I've never liked turkey, as lunchmeat it's ok, but I prefer ham. Love the holiday though. It's just nice to have a day where you give thanks for all the stuff you have in your life. Counting your blessings and all. As I've gotten older, it's become my favorite holiday, one of the many things I give thanks for. Oh yeah, and not being an American Indian and dead. So there's that.
As a close follow-up to Halloween, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It's always the same 4 day weekend, no middle of the week shenanigans likes Christmas, no gifts or excessive travelling. Expectations for Thanksgiving are so much more lax than Christmas and the traditions include beer and football.
I like Thanksgiving. It is completely stress free for me. We go to my sister in laws house and they are control freaks who want to be 100% in charge of the menu. We bring....wine. Plus he is a good cook, has secret dreams about dropping the lawyer job and opening a restaurant. Then I gorge myself and go home to no mess and no leftovers, it's fabulous. I usually do bring an appetizer of some sort because they never do them, and I like to snack. Anybody have any good ideas for favorite appetizers? In the evening there is a ceremony to light up an outdoor shopping district, its a huge party after everybody has recovered from the turkey comas and wants to drink away the memories of family dysfunction. This year my new house is within walking distance so I can enjoy the fun without the hassles of parking. See.....pretty! Now toss in some sort of coffee/hot chocolate/booze concoction ina thermus and you can't go wrong
Smoked turkey is the only way to go, imo. I use Cajun Inector & Creole Seasoning. About two hours before cooking, I peel the turkey's skin back and inject it then add the creole seasoning. Then put the skin back around the bird and apply a light coat of the creole seasoning to the skin. Smoke it over pecan & apple wood @ 275 degrees. This is a turkey breast that I smoked a couple weeks ago. Spoiler
Anybody else wondering if this 747 will be able to lift off from a runway a 1/2 mile too short? And what may happen if it goes over the edge of the runway?
This right here. I keep telling people that a properly prepared smoked turkey will have a better flavor, as well as be more moist than any bird they've had before. And before you all say that frying is better, I used to be just like you. I also now realize I was wrong. I liken it to someone who just discovered masturbation: it's quick, it's easy, anybody can do it and it turns out pretty good without much effort. But then, one day, you find that special someone that helps you experience something you've only fantasized about before and it's better than you could have ever imagined. Yes, ultimately the end result is the same, but the journey you take to get there is so much different. The tastes and smells you experience become intoxicating, to the point that you wish it would never end. But then, it does, and you realize you're somehow more satisfied than you ever have been; yet want nothing more than to go through the entire experience again because it was just that good. And after that, you realize that a fried turkey is all well and good on it's own. But once you taste that sweet, sweet ambrosia of a properly smoked bird, you know it's what we all ultimately strive for.
Looks almost as good as mine. This time next week I will be less than 8 work hours away from a mini-vacation full of football (with no kids to get between me and the screen, I HATE that shit), food and drinks. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, hands down. I am going to make this too boot. Corn Thing (previously posted to past Thanksgiving threads because it's awesome) Ingredients: 1 Cup Sour Cream 1 7 Oz box of Jiffy corn muffin mix 2 Eggs 2-3 Tsp Sugar 1/2 Cup Margarine 1 Cheap can of creamed corn Instructions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees and melt margarine in an 8 1/2 inch casserole dish or small brownie pan. Mix all the ingredients together and pour into melted margarine which will then surround the mixture. Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes until the top cracks and the sides are golden brown.

Says you. We have no way to verify if you have smoking hot breasts. Although, there is a thread for this . . .
