Fogo de Chao Beverly Hills Angeles

Flew into LA from another continent to meet friends in LA. Checked into hotel, drove hire car to Fogo De Chao Beverly Hills - for vegeterian heretics.

Brazilian Barbecue in LA FOR $60 per person - all you can eat. See their website at http://www.fogodechao.com/

We booked early as we were not able to get a seat the last time we were in LA.

We were not disappointed by the quantity of meat. This place is heresy for vegetarians but there are salads and the wonderful fried bananas if you must do vegetarian. Or are attempting to be a vegetarian like me.

Our friends arrived after a battle with the LA traffic. The feast began with regular visits from waiters bearing skewers of roast meats and BBQ and seasoned varieties of poultry.

Fried Bananas for vegetarians but definitely come to this restaurant if you are a meat lover.

A sample of the portions of meat brought by each waiter. Half finished after the onslaught of BBQ meat. 


Fogo de Chão on UrbanspoonThe cheese biscuits or muffins before dinner. Warm cushions of cheese and pastry. Eat them while they are steaming. If they cool down they can be a bit rubbery. 


The amount of food consumed was limited by our jet lag as we had travelled 18 hours to get here. Here are 3 tips on how to get more restful sleep from Harvard health. We found these 3 tips helped with sleeping during a intercontinental trip even though we were in a plentiful restaurant with wine and caffeine. See http://www.health.harvard.edu/healthbeat/3-ways-to-get-more-restful-sleep They recomended no alcohol. no caffeine and no nicotine. Maybe add in some intense sunlight for a couple of hours. moderate exercise and set your watch to the current time zone. 

So we did not order wine. 

The fried polenta. Crispy outside and warm and soft inside. The carbs helped us digest the meats. Some of fellow diners enjoyed the processed meats like sausages and bacon wrapped around the chicken. I found these went well with the potatoes and polenta. 

We then drove our hire car back to the hotel after taking the advice on restful sleep from the article. And we did not order coffee or desert
