We have experienced Brazilian Steakhouses twice. The first time it was just me and my wife. The second time we decided to treat our entire family which consisted of seven of us. When the bill came I gulped as the waiter handed it to me. When I looked at the bill I realized that it was less than half of what it should have been. I caught the waiters attention and pointed out the error. He said no sir one of the managers said to bill you for half of the normal cost. Upon wanting to thank the manager the waiter pointed him out and we were surprised to find that we knew him and his family from when we lived in Georgia. Needless to say we profusely expressed our gratitude to him and were also very generous with our tip. Pay it forward as they say.I'll pay good money for a meal if I cannot replicate what they are doing. Its gotta be a different experience. My favorites are any of those Brazilian Steakhouses where they slice all the meat onto your plate at your table, and The Melting Pot (fondue). I can't do either of those at home.
But, to drop 80 buck on a T-bone at a normal restaurant that I could buy myself for $18 at the store and grill on my grill? No thanks.
