Orgy Of The Flesh

Churrascaria is a term referring to a Brazilian type of BBQ where the meats are grilled on long skewers, delivered to your table and portions are sliced directly onto your plate.

At Green Fields you get to partake of this tradition, enjoying a wide variety of freshly grilled meats along with a buffet table that alone is worth the price.

My favorites from the buffet were the oxtail stew and the fried bananas. It was all just awesome, and not at all like what you'd expect from a typical American buffet. There were no mashed potatoes, or similar type of filler food. It was all traditionally Brazilian: various concoctions of fresh produce, salads, seafood and soups.

Then there are the meats. This is what you come here for. Freshly grilled, carried to your table, still dripping with juices.
As the waiter approaches, he'll announce what he's got: rib eye, chicken legs, pork ribs... maybe some rabbit or quail... the offerings are near endless... and you'll just tell him 'Yes' or 'No'. If 'Yes', he'll slice directly from the skewer onto your plate.
A little green paddle at the end of your table signals the waiter to approach.
If your plate is full, flip it to yellow, and they'll leave you alone for a while til you flip to green again.

At green, the meatfest begins all over again. If you don't eat fast, you'll find yourself buried in BBQ before you can flip back to yellow.
It was all very good, and probably the best roasted chicken I'll ever have, but I'm still partial to the beef ribs and flank steak: tender, juicy... and ubiquitous.

If you ever get the chance, give the churrascaria experience a try. This was about my twelfth trip. It's a little pricey for casual family dining, about $30 per, plus drinks, but for a 'night out' you can't beat it.
