But first, a lesson or two. 1: Do not go if you are just a little hungry. This is like going to an orgy with a bad back. We take a 1.85-metre tall 17-year-old who can consume his own weight in deceased animal and he doesn't stop eating for an hour. 2: Churrasco (pronounced shoo-has-ko, according to the website) is a Brazilian-style all-you-can-eat barbecue in which meat is slowly roasted on long skewers over a flaming pit of coals. The chargrilled meat is sliced up and delivered rodizio-style on long skewers or piled steaming and high on platters. Each table ha...
