Churrascaria Plataforma

We all know that pre-season doesn't mean anything. Except when you have a free steak night on the line.

The Red Sox managed to have a better record in the Grapefruit league than the sad clowns known as the Yankees. So, Tom K was gracious enough to buy me a steak dinner. This time we decided to go to Churrascaria Plataforma, an all-you-can-eat Brazilian steakhouse.

Tom tried explaining to me how it worked, and it went something like: "You have a little disc, one side is green and one side is red. Flip it over to green and they will keep bringing you multiple kinds/styles of meat. Flip it to red if you want them stop." That pretty much nailed it on the head.

It was relatively in-expensive, considering it's all you can eat. There is a flat rate for the salad and appetizer bar with the endless meat. Around $60 bucks per person and the drinks and deserts are separate. I wish I could say I had a bad cut of something there, but it was all really great. There is a HUGE variety, and all prepared perfectly. If you are a meat lover, this is for you. The salad bar was a nice touch and they also had some hot sides as well. The sun-dried tomato risotto was really good. I have to mention the service here as well. It was phenomenal. There was always someone there asking if we wanted some cut of meat, asking how we are doing, refilling our drinks but not to the point where it's annoying. They balance leaving you alone and keeping you completely pampered very well. Desert was nothing to write home about, I had the cheesecake and Tom had the triple chocolate type cake.

All-in-all a great night out paid for by Tom K and the Yankees sucking.
