Joanna and I spent one night this weekend going on a date and with no real plans we ended up eating at Chamas do Brazil in Arlington. It turns out I completed a task I didn't know I ever wanted to do, but it is now done and I feel like a better man for it. If you are not familiar with Chamas do Brazil, it is a restaurant similar to Texas de Brazil or Fogo de Chao, where employees bring around cuts of meat and the diner chooses if they want to enjoy that menu item.
It turns out that Chamas do Brazil has 16 different meat selections and as of this weekend I am now among those who have eaten a piece of all 16 in one sitting. I'm not sure if there is a Hall of Fame wall or if I'm now part of a special foodie club, but I can officially state that I've conquered the Mount Everest of Brazilian dining.
My stomach didn't appreciate my accomplishment following that meal, but I eventually got over it.
