My steakhouse is better than yours

I take a break from my usual religious ramblings to offer my reaction and review of my recent trip to AMOR DE BRAZIL steakhouse:



You park your car, get out, and the aroma overwhelms you.  Imagine your best 4th of July BBQ on steroids.  Your other 4 senses bow without mercy to the powerful scent of fresh meat being seared on a hot grill.

With what can best be described as a schoolboy skip, you quickly make your way to the front door, but then your eyes are distracted.  There in a glass tomb, or silo of sin, is three of the juiciest skewers of meat you've ever imagined, much less seen before.  It makes you think biblical, and you start to understand why meat was considered such a holy sacrifice.  But today is not just about worship, its a day of indulgence.

You step into the entryway, and you realize that this is also a place to bring the significant other.  The opulent atmosphere would be the envy of Benny Hinn and his TBN colleagues, and even stir Liberace from the grave.  The buffet(which I recommend you stay away from so that you can properly celebrate as a carnivorous creation) is decorated in such a way to tease the eye into thinking that you've stepped into an art museum.  Greens, mixed with reds, oranges, blues, and the rest of the rainbow surround the table to create a beautiful panoramic view.

Your waiter or waitress leads you to your table, and you quickly notice that the plush leather chairs are built for comfort and confidence that you can stay for as long as you'd like.  With a simple flip of a card, you know what the lifestyles of the rich and famous truly are as waiters rush to your table offering various cuts of fresh meat off the hot grill.  They never stop, until you start to beg them for mercy.

As you leave the restaurant fully satisfied and barely coherent, you already begin to imagine the next time your wallet and your waistline are ready for another round.
