Churra- The Meat Lovers Paradise

So hubby and I went out on another grown up dinner date. This time to a local Brazilian Restaurant named Churra'. We both heard good things about it, it was a little expensive, but it ended up being great food and a really nice upbeat atmosphere.



We started at the appetizer/salad buffet. I went  through and got a little sample of EVERYTHING except the french fries and onion rings. I  still can't figure out why they serve those but I swear every Italian that went through the buffet line got some. I have no clue what I had on my plate but most of it was pretty good.

 


A bacon wrapped onion that I will have to figure out how to make because it was so yummy.




When you finish with your appetizers, they start bringing out the meat on long skewers and slice you off a few pieces at a time. We had turkey, chicken, sausage, manzo (steer), pork loin, and pork ribs. For me, the turkey and the pork loin were the best ones but all of it was deliciously seasoned and very tender. There were about 4 guys with different meats that just make the rounds throughout the restaurant. You never have an empty plate. Look at that meat loving smile on my husband's face.





Keep this on your table for as long as your little carniverous heart desires.


When you have had all the meat you can stand just turn it over.



After dinner they bring you a skewer of cinnamon sugar crusted pineapple. And Surprise! It was good too!







The band played some good Italian music and we even got to meet the lead singer. After we met, he dedicated a song to me. Have no idea what the words were, but Deron said he better not be saying anything crazy or he's going to have to go have a word with him. Ha ha!





Italians eat dinner very late, usually after 8pm. At 11:00pm when we were finishing up, a couple of groups of people were just coming in to eat with their children! If I tried to take my kids to dinner at 11 they would either fall asleep in the car on the way over or be more than a little uncooperative from sheer exhaustion.





Yet another successful dinner outing. Hopefully they keep coming! Bon Appetito!
