The Most Wonderful Time of the Year: A Meat Story

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the year!

That's right sportsfans. It's Christmas time. The temperature is dropping (sort of), the lights are going up, radio stations are playing Christmas music 24 hours a day, and I have savored the taste of victory. That's right ladies and gentlemen I have complete the first class of my medical school training: GROSS ANATOMY! No more lab or smelling like formaldehyde 24 hours a day. I must say that I truly respect those who donated their bodies so that I could learn but I am also truly thankful that gross is over. Now on to the fun stuff like my birthday. For my birthday we went to a the paradise of steakhouses: Texas de Brazil. Now for those of you who have never heard of this restaraunt let me just start of by saying that the Brazilians do meat right. At this place there is a huge salad bar with all sorts of salad, cheeses, soups, side item, and the most wonderful lobster bisque I have ever tasted. I mean the salad bar alone is worth the price of admission. But this is a meat story so back to the meat! At your table there is a little button type thing that is green one one side and red on the other. Now when you flip the button to green about thirty servers descend upon your table with giant four foot skewers with all sorts of meat like lamb roast, lamb chops, filet mignon, flank steak, parmesan pork, BBQ ribs, and the list could go on forever. It should be noted that as long as the button is green then these people keep offering you stuff. It was all so delicious and it felt like thanksgiving except I didn't have to waste stomach space on the "fixins". It was so good if I haven't mentioned that already! As we rolled ourselves home all I could think was "Happy Birthday to me!"
