A night out!
About once a year we take the kids to a nice restaurant, usually Rodizios at my spouses request. If you have never heard of it... it is a brazilian buffet-a lovely salad/pasta bar and as you sit at the table, good looking men armed with rotisseries, large knifes and slabs of different meat stop at your table and slice you off a hunk...to grab with your cute little tongs if you like. The meats are all incredibly delicious (a vegetarians nightmare i am sure) however, I have a BEEF with buffets. First: I know the price and I am intent on getting my money's worth...HA...is it deserved indulgence?...hardly...its engorgement. While I should be enjoying a good meal I am calculating every piece of meat and to top it off 2 of my children are now considered "big enough" to be charged an adult price...little 90# B who is full off 5 chocolate chip cookies is = to that 200# man sitting behind us...WTH. Second: the amount of wasted, uneaten food sent back to the kitchen trash...6 fried bananas of which Shelby ate 2 bites...off to the trash...wouldnt it be easier to ask us if we would eat 6 fried bananas rather than waste them, literally sat on the table untouched? So between getting ripped off, watching copius amounts of food hit the trash, and 200+ people engorging themselves, I tried to enjoy my family and get the hell out of there as fast as possible (thank God for the good looking men or it would have been a complete disappointment.) This brings me to my word for the week...moderation...my next post!

ok see this is why we don't go to expensive restarants ....EVER! LOL
someday....
Wow, you really did sum up the Rodizio's experience. It is yummy, but come on is anything really $20+ a person yummy???(Except for Bonsai, but there my family practically eats the table) And imagine your girls ate as much as my kids do!
You need to pick a different "nice" restaraunt...like maybe Shivers...that's nice?? Ok, maybe not, but at least the kids will clear their plate and you'll get your money's worth!
i really wanted to goto Chilis, so cheesy and chainish but at least everyone will eat! NEXT TIME for sure!!
Ditto on the buffet thing. We like Red Robin - learned about it from Hannah and Sasha. Kids get portions they can enjoy and parents can get a great variety. Sarah and I love Chili's too! Thank goodness for the nice looking men though. You really made me laugh!
