Yeah, here in the US where I live these rodizios are very popular - and
overpriced as you pointed out - US$ 25.00 is the minimum. Waiters (sorry,
don't know their official title) wander around the room with skewers of meat
and you just accept or decline each one; they usually have 10 to 15
different delicious varieties. Unfortunately many people here now think that
_all_ Brazilian cuisine is one giant barbecue. <g>
