While I'm staring at the bottle of Wal-flu handed over to me by my friend , thinking whether to gulp down the chemical concoction dissolved in 'OL or to spend yet another sleepless nite with congestion and may be disturbance for my neighbour ;-) , got an idea of pushing my blog numbers to the limit for the day (err it just occurred that the day has passed and its 0117 hours , hmm may be will try to create records some other flu-day..)
But anyway i have made up my mind to save a 911 call for my old neighbour, so before gulping lemme finish this short xp off :
We as a team were looking for a restaurant to lunch as a celebration of clearing some certification of some sort (the doublesome tells how good i was at the certification, though i cleared).. While we were looking up our manager came down with the idea of a Brazilian restaurant named ' Fogo De Chao' , I was game for anything but most of the other team members straight away refused.. I thought might be coz of the $$$ , but when its on the house why worry.. stupid me it was because it was a meat lovers paradise , for me meat = all other living beings except humans but for most of our folks meat is synonymous with chicken(as if chicken doesnt have life ;-)..so we scratched the plan and ended a day after up at applebees having "northern walleye with rice and veggies" . I had no complaints except for missing out on trying an unique dining experience. Then my thoughts boiled and steamed and ended up as a calendar request to my manager for lunch.We were on our way thru - this is 3 mins from our office and inside the building opposite to the earlier TGI fridays - hmm there were veggie salads like 50+ varieties to choose from but guess what I didnt hit much of those just went for the smoked salmon on the salad bar. Smoked salmon was fresh and it has a different taste , unlike our aachi or sakthi masala's which spoil the real taste of meat .. i was savouring salmons that way with a tinge of pepper and lemon on it..The best part was yet to come , this restaurant serves like 15 types of cut meat including sirloins, steaks , tendorloins, ribs etc., just to name some that i could catch of ..we are given a double colored disc , RED on one and GREEN on another , we just have to have the green side on - to indicate fire-roasted traffic to flow to our plates - pork, beef , chicken , lamb they got everything and the best part was all the meat was cooked on direct fire - aadhi maanav style : back to the basics !! the service was so electric and quick that you could find ur plate dumped with what not if u forgot to turn ur disc ..I think we were chatting and it must have been around 20 servings that we felt filled .. and atop that they had a sweet topped roasted banana for dessert and i loved it !! I wouldnt say that i would go in everyday but i would love to be part of this experience once a month may be .... Though it drills a bit of a small hole in ur wallet , it fills ur stomach and ur apetit .worth a try !!
