Little Buddy in "Chai-town"

A week from yesterday, I had a visit in the form of a little buddy. That's right, Ms. Sarah came for a visit. For those of you who aren't familiar...Sarah is a dear friend of mine who I met while studying abroad in Spain. She now lives in San Francisco. I upped the ante by visiting her along with other Spain buddies in July of last year, so she owed me. But oh the time we had. You know how in life you have friends that make you laugh? But not just any laughing. Hysterical, stop breathing, nonsensical laughing, and all the time. It was great. Our trip included the art institute, a play at the Goodman, some bowling...and lots and lots of food. I'd say the highlight of out feasting was on Saturday evening where we joined Jascha, his sister Alisa, and her husband David at Fogo de Chao. It was David's birthday and apparently he wanted to either celebrate it in style or celebrating by watching Jascha stuff his cute little face with meat. Either way he got what he was looking for. It is a Brazilian style restaurant (though I can't imagine anyone in Brazil eats this much) where they have about 20 kinds of meat on skewers and they come around and keep serving you until you puke. My favorite was the fillet mignon and the rump roast...Jascha the lamb chops and Sarah the bacon wrapped chicken. My only complaint is that if you are going to make a restaurant touting all you can eat meat, make the bathroom stalls those uber private, individual bathroom in a public bathroom types. No woman wants to hear other women pooping and no woman wants to poop with other women listening. That is all I can say. I can't speak to how men feel because maybe they like to hear each other poop. Anyway it was a delicious meal and a wonderful visit from Sarah. It is nice when you can actually keep friends with the cool people you met a long time ago. P.S. She didn't know if it was chi-town or chai-town...either way, they are both stupid and I do like chai.
