Last weekend I went out to dinner at a restaurant by the name of Chima (pronounced she-ma). It’s a Brazilian steakhouse, if you’ve ever had this style before it’s a very unique dining experience. Each person gets a small disc, one side is black, while the other side is orange. There are 12 different meats that are being served by Gauchos (Brazilian cowboys), and as long as your disc is flipped on the orange side they will come to you and offer you meat.
Here’s a list of the different type of meats they offer (on top of a buffet salad bar):
The meat is all very high quality, and tastes very good. You can eat an unlimited amount, here’s my first plate:
The restaurant has a very modern theme, which I love. I wish I took more pictures, but to get an idea, I took one of the glass they have in the middle of the room with I believe Cirque Del Sol projected on it. Since it’s frosted glass, it displays on both sides for a very cool effect:
There are a variety of different restaurants in this area that offer the same style of dining. The ones I can think of are Malibu Grill, Fogo De Chao, and Texas De Brazil. From what I’ve heard Chima and Fogo De Chao are the top notch versions of the restaurants (With Fogo De Chao being the best). Our dinner was about $50 a head, our total bill with 5 people was around $400 as we all got deserts and drinks as well. It was definitely worth the experience, and the food was excellent, especially if you like meat.
Here’s a picture of a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder parked outside of the restaurant to give you an idea of the type of customers that eat here:

09/14/2007 2:31 pmI’ve never eaten at a Brazilian steakhouse like this but it sounds amazing. Although my wife is a picky eater and probably wouldn’t like anything on there, maybe I’ll have to plan a trip to one near us with some buddies.
If the food is as good as it looks, I’d probably keep eating until I exploded.

09/18/2007 12:09 amHey Steve, welcome! Yeah definitely give it a shot, it’s MUCH better than Malibu….but for more than twice the price, it should be. I’m told that Fogo De Chao is even better, and it’s the same price, so you may want to try that.
Let me know what you think if you get a chance to try either or.
