Churracaria Varandao: Sao Bernardo (Sao Paulo) Brazil

R$ 39.99  ~ $18 for a full Rodizio Lunch, Watch it , beverages are extra 
A trip to Brazil with visiting an authentic Rodizio or Churracaria would be a waste. We have always been big fans of the Brazilian Barbecue Steak restaurants, as evidenced by the posts we make from or about them. Chicago, Atlanta.  But we have only experienced the Exported versions in the US and Germany. This is our first native experience...
Inside is large and spacious, with plenty of people in for lunch
Caipirinha for lunch?  When in Brasil.....
As we have come to expect the quality of the beef and flavor is without equal at Brazilian Churrascuria. The beef flavor is really allowed to come through without embellishment. No steak sauces or drowned meat. Instead all the meat is gently salted right before cooking. The cuts of meat very different from US cuts are planned around the idea of leaving the tastiest parts of the fat in contact with the meat during cooking.
Picanha source http://www.varandao.com.br/
Picanha is a Rump Steak cut to preserve the fat layer near the top during the grilling. This insures that the tasty fats drip through and over the meat during cooking.

The other claim to fame for Brazilian Churrascuria are their salad bars. Complete with all tastes both exotic and common place for our tastes. Simple greens with tomatoes and dressing, fine.  Hearts of palm and marinated quail eggs, sure.  Aged european and american cheeses, great. Fresh sashimi and sushi, or course. Just be careful there is so much that you might just fill yourself up before the main event.

Moonrise Kingdom, a cozy craft beer bar in Tokyo-Shinjuku

Craft Brewing is not what normally comes to mind when people ask about Japan. They'll ask if you like raw fish (there is more to Japanese cuisine than Sashimi or Sushi), or they'll comment about Sake (there is more than just rice wine in Japan); but if you look, you will definitely find some. Our recent trip to Tokyo, this April just after the Sakura had been swept away by rain :-( we were able to find a perfectly suitable refuge for the Craft Beer Lover.  Moonrise Kingdom(via their Instagram) StringGrrl with one of the NEIPA/Hazy IPA on tap from Japanese Craft Breweries As a treat, the owners shared an American Milk Stout from Left Hand Brewing out of Colorado Local ExPat who gave up their stool to make room for StringGrrl and Kam Carryout beer from Kyoto Brewing Company, Vertere

everything you wanted to know about my accident but I wasn't ready to share  (u pdated 28th February. Done, gone home, Scroll to see more ) Here's the lowdown since curiosity abounds: 1) NO, I didn't have a skiing accident. I resent the implication. I owned that fucking Hill . (Family Friendly video) 2) It was a sled 🛷 . It's not an extreme sport. It's called a Rodelbahn (toboggan road) and is considered fun for the whole family. Sebastian supplied the sleds/toboggans, and after a full morning on the mountain skiing. We planned to use the few remaining hours of lift access to run the Rodelbahn. Totally reasonable. 3) The run isn't like a luge or bobsled but a trail down reasonable slopes (switchbacks adjacent to a green dot, blue square ski run) but maybe a bit narrower. Rodelbahn at Nauders 4) I think I over-steered at the exact wrong time and was catapulted into the trees, and down a steep slope, bounced off many trees, broke a few d...
