This past weekend we hung out a lot with some of Dallas’ friends from college. Molly was visiting from Saratoga Springs, NY where she is now an exercise science professor at Skidmore College. Megan was in the city from a little closer.. the suburbs.. where she teaches 3rd graders. Also? She and her husband Scott are expecting their first baby. So exciting.
On Saturday Molly & Megan met up with us in Roscoe Village and we had a nice dinner at Piazza Bella, followed by a few drinks (not for Megan) and a lot of Guitar Hero at our house. While we were eating that night Megan mentioned that she and Molly and Scott were going to Fogo de Chao on Sunday and of course Dallas had to get in on all that meat action. For those of you who are unfamiliar with these popular Brazilian barbecue places, basically you pay a flat rate. Then you have this little coaster that’s red on one side, green on the other. Flip it with the green side up and you will be bombarded with meat. When you’ve got enough or need a break, flip it to the red side.
The first time I went to Fogo de Chao I wrote that I thought it was a place that you’d only be able to visit once or maybe twice in one year, but I’ve already gone twice this year. Besides this past weekend, I went a few weeks ago with some work associates. They were in town from Tokyo and we wanted to give them a unique experience that they couldn’t get at home. I think we succeeded.
Anyway, it was nice to see Molly and Megan and Scott again. I’m not sure when we’ll see Molly (and hopefully her husband Eric, too) next, but we vowed to see Megan and Scott more, since they’re not too far from us.
