Esther,
These Brazilian restaurants like Fogo and Texas de Brasil are upscale restaurants where you pay one price and it is all you can eat. Texas de Brasil in Memphis is around $35-$40 per person and worth every penny.
They have a big salad bar featuring some regular stuff you recognize but then also Brazilian foods. YOu don't want to eat much there though because you save your appetite for the meat!
At Texas de Brasil as long as you are eating from the Salad bar you keep a coin like thing by your plate turned to the green side ( if I remember right). Once you are ready to eat the meat you flip it over to the red side then the waiters know to offer you the meat.
They have grills in the kitchen that they grill giant skewers full of filet mignion, other kinds of steak, chicken, pork, lamb, etc. Then waiters circulate throughout the resaturant constantly with these giant skewers offering you a piece of whatever meat they are carrying. You pick what you want and eat as much as you want. Like Ferd said you can eat 2lbs of filet mignion if you want to! It is very high quality food. we are NOT talking Golden Coral or Ryans.
