Weekly Roundup: Fogo De Chao Edition
Fogo De Chao is a Brazilian churrascaria, or steakhouse, that features something they call espeto corrido, or continuous service. Anyone who has gone to a churrascaria knows it’s nothing but round after round buffet of grill meats like lamb, pork, sausages, steaks, etc. etc. etc; it’s really a ridiculously indulgent meal and that’s without even considering it’s ridiculous salad bar. Well, they just opened up a location here in Baltimore (just this month!) and eventually my group of friends is going to check it out and walk out about 23940823409 pounds heavier than when we walked in. It’s pricey but definitely worth it I think, especially if you’ve ever tried to buy a rack of lamb (ribs) at the grocery store.

- Flexo shares his experience on how he got a great deal on bedroom furniture.
- FMF writes about co-signing loans and why it’s a terrible idea. TERRIBLE.

- Over at My Retirement Blog, I posted a Twentysomething’s Quick Guide to Retirement, please let me know what you think of it.
- Cap shares a harrowing story about his home being burglarized, very scary stuff that happens every single day! Luckily only possessions were taken or damaged, no one was personally hurt which is definitely a positive (considering). It’s why we have insurance!
- Tricia shares with the world the value of dealing with her debt that I think is something everyone in debt should read. While it’d be nice to have it all POOF disappear, the journey itself has tremendous value. Where else can you get such transparency in emotion from someone about money? Nowhere, that’s why personal finance blogging is so popular.
No, Fogo De Chao didn’t pay me to post these pictures… I just think I’m hungry.

What are you doing to me? I’m trying to lose weight!
Thank you for the mention
Oh…and thanks for making me hungry!! LOL!
I love Brazilian BBQ! It’s been awhile since I’ve been to one… Yes, it’s spendy, spendy… But, man is it worth it!
I found that Churrascaria Plataforma is one of the better Brazilian BBQs if you are in NYC. Texas De Brazil in Aruba (and other locations) is also extremely good.
Yeah, Texas De Brazil is awesome too, we went to one in Denver, Colorado when my fiancee went out there on a work trip.
I LOVE FOGO DE CHAO — been to the one in Dallas several times and the one in Chicago once — good eating!!!!!!
