The meat train that is Bolero

I have been seeing a gentleman as of late and we get along so well because we both share one very vital interest...enjoyment in devouring red meat. We have chosen The Keg as of late but last night was the magical night, we went to Bolero. If you have not been there yet it is a Brazilian steakhouse that has over 15 meats on a skewer that is brought to your table and you can eat as much as you like. There is also a salad bar if you dare mix veggies and meat as well as normal sides like mashed potatoes and coconut rice. My gentleman is a seasoned veteran of what I have now deemed the meat train. As this was my first time, we went easy and ordered the sampler plate. Four ounces of two meats as well as the hot and cold bar. I went with the lamb and garlic parmesan sirloin because I do love my red meat and heart attacks. He went with fillet mignon, I assume he loves it as he is french and can order it properly, as well as bacon wrapped chicken.

The meat came and I was well into my veggies trying to act healthy like before I devoured my meat like a champion as well as a small side of mashed potatoes. While I was a bit sad that it was processed parmesan cheese (the kraft kind) instead of the real deal, it was perfectly cooked and delicious either way! I am the farthest thing from a foodie, but I love my real parmesan cheese. It is heaven. Like cookie dough after a workout. I do recommend the meat train that is Bolero for all those carnivores out there that can handle it. I do caution that if you are planning to do two things: 1) call for a reservation and 2) do not eat anything all day so that your stomach is prepared and empty for the train.

Shellie Moment of the story: Later that evening sitting with my gentleman watching TV and digesting our meat, I went to adjust my legs and sit up a little for more comfort and subsequently fell off the couch. Luckily there was a pillow and was fairly comfortable. However said gentleman promptly stole my place on the couch.
