What I Ate: September 22, 2010 (Fogo de Chao)

Dinner: After not getting enough of the meats that I enjoyed the most the last time I dined at Fogo de Chão (309 East 3rd Street, Austin, TX‎ - (512) 472-0220‎), I decided to eat there again - this time for Austin Restaurant Week where dinner (included dessert) was $35 per person instead of the typical $45.50 (without dessert).

It's not easy to take a picture of the meat since it's dark where they are slicing (next to the table) and I don't have many pieces of meat on my plate at any given time. Here's some picanha that I got after having a rack of lamb, linguica, and various cuts of beef.

The two desserts we had were good, but this key lime pie was excellent. Just enough tartness, strong lime flavor, excellent smooth texture, and a nice soft (but not mushy) graham flour crust.
