We had our department’s Christmas party at Texas de Brazil, the all-you-can-eat meat palace in downton Memphis. The great swords of grilled beef, sausage, chicken, pork and ribs is delivered to your table by adorable “gauchos”, waiters dressed in the short troussers.
Lunch will set you back about $18, which includes the lavish salad bar, but not drinks. CA SPY Michael Donahue ordered three Cokes, which added up to $7.50. He could have had a glass of wine for that price!!
Let's eat

At least he got Cokes. My favorite is: “What type of water would you like?” At the end of the meal, you find out you just drank $18 worth of re-cycled tap water in a fancy bottle.

I work at Texas de Brazil and I can assure you that we NEVER take recycled tap water and pour it into Panna or San Pelligrino bottles. We offer these Italian waters to those individuals that prefer it over tap water, such as many of our European customers and individuals that like sparkling water. If you do not wish to have bottled water, just simply tell your server “No, thank you”. You will not be charged for water.
