8/10/11 - Fogo de Jeff

It's restaurant week here in Baltimore. All the dank restaurants have 3-course specials for a fixed rate. I think it's like $35, which for the nicer restaurants around is a sweet ass deal for 3 courses. Best bargain on the list? Easily Fogo de chao. I can't really explain how amazing this place is, but just picture an all you can eat steak house, where juicy cuts of meat are being whored around - you don't even need to get up, they come to you! It's a tittie bar for fat people.

So you can imagine my deep sadness when we called and found out they were all booked tonight. I'm not surprised, Baltimore is very Jewish. Jews are rich and like a bargain, and this is a bargain. Normally it's like $45 bucks a head. Belieeee dat.

I was wallowing in depression and considering ending it all until my dad suggested we make our own steakhouse. Take that real Fago! (intentional spelling error). He went to the store and came back with two big ass rib eyes, one tenderloin, and a NY strip. Here was my plate:


Wow, that's just gorgeous. That's food porn. In the spirit of food porn, let's get a close up:


And to spice things up, let's get a threesome going with all three sluts cuts.


That is just sexy. All 3 cuts were coated with worcestershire sauce, ground pepper, and Kosher salt. The rib eyes were rubbed with a sweet/tangy rub, and the strip was rubbed with a more peppery rub from Texas. Every cut was cooked exactly how I like: medium rare. I see on the pictures that I had sides on my plate. Don't remember them at all. Incredible dinner, and every cut deserved 10/10 Jeffs. 

For dessert my dad grilled some peaches and added some 'nilla ice cream:


Grilled fruit is great. Ice cream is awesome. The peaches had a hint of smokiness. Pretty good, 6.5/10 Jeffs.
