A place to meat and greet

I had lunch with my friend Meating Hollywood in May 2005.
We talked about movies, and we talked about the meat. Meat, meat and meat.

Tri tip. Steak au poivre. Garlic steak. Beef skewers. Top sirloin.

It's (almost) all about meat when you're in the Amazon Churascarea in Fullerton (Orange County, California). Churascarea is a mixture of private Brazilian BBQ and Grill, with servers who roam the room length skewers with the sword, each carrying a piece of meat, still steaming hot open flame oven nestled in the kitchen .

Brazilian touches extend to the decor. Waterfall cascading along the wall facing the door. Fu plants jungle, jungle encryption tiles - walls covered ruin. Made me think of a child rainforest series coffee in the polls without Onemetronieks roaring, bright lights and big development companies restaurants.

An exotic Midwest dominates the center of a large restaurant, which served in past lives and a Chinese buffet and country inn buffet. Salad bar of some sort, and popular genre in Peoria in the 80s, the port authorities in May based on beans and bread and cheese three authorities soup. In one corner, and the treatment of banana frita very Brazilian: banana rolled strip in the taste of fried flour and cinnamon maturity and sugar coated. Delicious.

Go back to your cabin, it is pretty basic. Red tarps covered tables and water glasses worn a short list of table wine and Chilean men brought the meat. As long as you keep a little table red, yellow and green, turning green upper side of the spindle, they keep the sculpture. All you can eat, as long as you can eat. (Turn ON pin and red means stop, already! Side means providing the invoice.)

For lunch ($ 12.75), and the price is usually limited - if you can call it that - to cut tens of beef, pork sausages, drumsticks, chicken, turkey bacon wrapped cubes a giant.

Dinner ($ 21.75), expand the options to 22 different meats. All beef, you can go to lunch, plus skirt steak, ribs and succulent pork, steak, lamb. Grilled salmon there. And now the role of exotic alligator, duck, quail, chicken heart.

The smell of smoke filled the room meat, and depending on your sensitivity, it is tasty or boring.

It should come as a surprise. You know what you get when pulling the parking lot.

One of these large banners hanging pictures on the wall facing the parking lot outside. Responsible for meat skewers smile manhandles download. A dozen other skewers loom entire side. The smell of barbecue, richer than anything more than a broken fence your garden, fill the air.

My friend (who introduced me to this place that we have come to call the `` meat'' palace while we were in all phases of our Atkins diet) and I liked the smell in the outside and my wife joined me on the Saturday night dinner, and was firmly in the camp overwhelming.

I love steak and skirt steak, but six or seven servings of different meats later, it was completed and ready to go. She waited patiently for me to work through the rib - as beautiful as any prime rib I had - the quail and alligator, rabbit, pig.

For her patience, she rewarded with chocolate cheesecake served from vehicle driving by Jessica, sweet girl ``'' - another exotic touch Midwest - and we parted pineapple sorbet, which was a hat to devour my ideal: light, creamy, cold and served in pineapple skin output cavity.

Restaurant manager Roman Alcaraz says he has built a loyal clientele among Brazilians area to make sure - it may be a caipirinha cocktail, a kind of Brazilian Margarita made from Kasha ç A, which is a type Brazilian rum - but also from a comprehensive blend of many immigrants Orange County, Que Asia, America or Illinoisan.

I am the owner you Choi, CPA in Koreatown Los Angeles, "an idea of ​​the Amazon from a client, and opened in December 2002 and the only of its kind in Orange County. A Churascarea some serving Los Angeles County, and personnel in Fullerton hears rumors of a competitor coming to Irvine.

But for now, this is a unique kind of experience, and a great place for meat Pal.
