Today I present a photo journey through the excess that was my dinner last night at The Red Violin on the Danforth in Toronto. For those of you who’ve never experienced a Brazilian Rodizio, read on and be amazed…
Yup, you guessed it — this is merely the appetizer plate from the salad bar! Hey, at least I didn’t fill up on bread…
Once we signaled our waitress the relentless parade of meat began. Here’s what we all agreed was the tastiest cut.
Ray Deonandan, the evil evil man who brought me here.
I’m pretty sure I was the first to cry “uncle” — I just wish I’d done it a few tens of ounces sooner.
The meal comes to a halt only when a patron holds up this red card like so. Then it’s time for dessert barbeque. I’m not kidding!
Pretty soon the entire table was seeing red…
If I do ever go back to one of these places I’ll be way more selective about what I put in my mouth, which is probably good advice to follow whether you’re at a Brazilian BBQ or not!
Ottawa has one, too:
