The Triangle

Issue date: 11/16/07 Section: Arts & Entertainment

Got a full wallet and an empty stomach? There's no need for that. Spend that money and fill your belly.

There's no better place for this than Fogo de Chao, the all you can eat Brazilian steakhouse at 1337 Chestnut St, which is about $50 a person. The food is as leet as its address and best part is that the food never stops coming.

Fogo de Chao offers 15 different authentic Brazilian cuts of meat, from filet mignon wrapped in bacon to top sirloin roasted with garlic. All of the food is slow roasted over an open flame, the "fire of the ground." This brings out the natural flavors of the meat, which is only lightly seasoned with salt, pepper and sometimes garlic. Other offerings include chicken, pork sausage and lamb.

The meal begins with the amazing salad bar, but come on, who is going to fill up on salad when you can have all the delicious red meat you can handle?

Aside from the salad and main offerings, you can chow down on fried plantains, fried polenta, little cheese rolls and mashed potatoes until your heart stops.

So if you are hungry, call up Fogo de Chao and prepare for a wild roller coaster ride of comestibles. Masticate until your jaw falls off. Just realize that you'll probably have to be rolled out of the restaurant in a wheelbarrow
