Fogo de Chao
Last night, a couple of drug reps took the office out for dinner at Fogo de Chao, we'd been planning it for months. (Thank you Enablex, not that the urologists I work for even prescribe that drug, but they probably will prescribe it more now. Sadly, that's the way it works) Not that I even wanted to go last week--why would I? to celebrate my soon to be unemployment?I was not really in a celebratory mood, but I decided to go anyway. Actually, getting ready was almost half the fun. I told the office on Friday that I was going to wear a white flowery dress, thus violating the "no white after Labor Day rule." They crinkled their noses and were like, "who cares?"
Anyway, I'm so glad that I went. I actually got there 30 minutes late, but it ended up being perfect b/c at that time they were just coming around with the meat (they serve "all you can eat" different types of meat) and I was really hungry, so I filled up on their famous steak instead being already partially full from the salad bar.
Would I recommend it? Probably, but I don't think I would want to go back because I feel like I wasn't able to eat my $43 worth of food, without a doubt no, at least this time I wasn't paying for it. Their desserts were awesome though. Mostly, there were just men there. It might be worth it if one could really eat a lot of meat.

It was frustrating though b/c I was wearing a very pretty (at least, I thought it was pretty) dress and my boss, an M.D., stared at my chest for like five minutes not once but twice! Now, I'm more forgiving for just an inadvertant glance.
subject change, I think what I enjoyed about the restaurant was not even so much the food as the *service.* Because the restaurant was mostly men, our table with mostly women stood out and all of the servers were men. So, they were so pampering us! I felt like they were surrounding me with attention and getting me whatever I wanted (they probably get tired of serving just men there). It was awesome!
Plus, the drug reps--it was so pleasant to have conversations with these young women who were goal oriented. And I felt like it was just a very memorable moment, (not that we work that closely with the drug reps, but they do try very hard to befriend us) because one of the young women was pregnant and telling us all of these stories of her experience thus far.
