Cleo's Brazilian Steakhouse
20170204:
I got a plate of food from the salad bar.
Top Sirloin: juicy in parts but dry in others.
Bacon Wrapped Chicken: delicious
Brisket: chewy.
Round Steak: slightly drier than the brisket, but still juicy; easier to bite and chew compared to the brisket.
Bacon Wrapped Top Sirloin: not best thus far, but better than the brisket and round steak.
Lamb: the seasoning was excellent.
Tri-tip with Garlic: ooo this one was excellent!!
New York Steak: as expected, the outer layer of this was .. actually, it's not bad; it tasted like a piece of jerky that's been salted with soy sauce and steak seasoning
Top Sirloin with Garlic: oh my goodness, this one was even better than the tri-tip; it's beyond excellent!
Chicken Wings: I got a chicken wingette and a chicken drumette for myself, but held off on eating either.
Pork Sausage: I didn't like it
Top Sirloin: this cut was excellent; it's fatty; it's salty as well
Ready to drink some beer, I first drank some water and cleansed my palette. Meanwhile, I received another top sirloin with garlic followed by a regular slice of top sirloin.
But first, chicken hearts!!! I'm such a fan of chicken hearts that I asked for five. Though in hindsight I should have asked for even more!!!
Chicken Hearts: mmm, the hearts were tasty.
(2nd) Top Sirloin with Garlic: this time the garlic top sirloin was too done
(2nd) Top Sirloin: in contrast, the second regular top sirloin was nice and medium rare
By now I gave away what remained of the uneaten brisket and round steak. I still have the remains of the New York steak, but I'll give that away too. I'll also reject this (2nd) garlic top sirloin. Oh, at some point I ate the drumette and I still have the wingette, but I'll probably eat that.
Pork Ribs: the ribs were not bad, however, they were salty.
Grilled Pineapple: this pineapple with cinnamon was excellent.
Fried Bananas: they gave us some near the beginning, but I didn't have any until we asked for more near the end; they were delicious (though I liked the grilled pineapple more)
By the end of the evening, I had most of what they listed on the meat selection they have online (not bolded): picanha [pea-CAN-ya] (top sirloin) with traditional seasoning / garlic seasoning | New York steak | fraldinha [fral-DIN-ya] (flap steak) | peito (brisket) | tri-tip | sirloin wrapped w/ bacon | grilled pineapple | chicken hearts | chicken wings | chicken legs | cordeiro [cor-DAY-roo] (lamb) | linguiça [lin-GWEE-sa] (sausage) | top sirloin with garlic | lombo [LOM-bo] (pork loin) | pork ribs | chicken breast w/ bacon | eye of round
