Our kid is still a baby so it didn't matter much anyway but I believe children 5 or under are free...

nice thanks for sharing !

for some reason I only could imagine Fogo De Chao for laab... red bloody meat isn't really my thang...is that the regular price for it? if so that means my galfriend and I only saved a little over $5 for it during their restaurant week in Diego...

Yep, that's the regular full lunch price...

Some chili pepper dip would make those meats even tastier IMO.  O0

I'm surprised the one in SD didn't ask you if you like your meat well done, medium rare, etc., as that's what they did at the one in SJ. The carver usually has 3 pieces of meat for customers to select from in terms of how well done they like it...

The exceptions is the pork and lamb. Those two types of meat are always fully cooked based on my experiences.

And oh ProudLao, big difference in weather as it's mid 70s in San Jose. You might want to bring scarf if you decide to venture out to the one in Minneapolis... ;D ;)

Visited the Twin Cities a few times and one time, my wife and I even rode our bikes from California to Minnesota so I know a little about that part of the world... O0:
