Elite Event: Fogo de Chao

Thee best Elite event in the history of all elite events. Well almost the best elite event… let me explain.
I hit up a Fogo de Chao elite event in Brasil. After we ate 306 different cuts of meat, to include camel-​hump; Lula the current president of Brasil at that time came in with his elite guest… yeah! Fidel Fucking Castro and we smoked Cubans all night, shot AK-47’s and debated if mojitos were better than caipirinas.
Then Brazilian samba queens came out… NAKED…wait, wait, shit, that never happened… but if it would have happened I would have been there, and I would have taken a selfie with Fidel, and probably got caught stealing extra Cubans.
Brad B. Can we do another Elite-​Fogo event? Like how college dorks are alumni and shit?

This was my first ever Unilocal Elite event, and I think I’ve now been ruined for all future Elite events to come. Every fellow Elitist was going on and on about how it was unusual to have this much deliciousness served gratis at an Elite event.
There was a mile-​long salad bar, free-​flowing caipirinhas and high quality malbec, and a parade of delicious meats carved and served tableside, and side dishes on each table. More food than if you combine every wedding I’ve been to, literally. The trick to consuming that much meat in one sitting, by the way, is to talk a lot during the meal, chew slowly, and keep drinking so you have a gentle numbness in your tummy that slows down the signal to your brain that you’re full.
On top of the massive quantities of food, the Fogo de Chao servers and management were incredibly attentive, helping me find an open seat (I learned you’re supposed to be early or on time to these things!), checking in regularly, and just being as courteous and helpful as you would expect from a world class restaurant.
The strangers at my table were all incredibly friendly, talkative, and well versed in the local restaurant/​business/​arts scene, as you would expect from the Unilocal Elite community, aka the Foodie Intelligentsia of San Diego! When my fellow Unilocaler Faye asked if I could help her snap a series of macro photos of the cheese bread puffs for her blog, Faye’s Fork, while she slowly pulled them apart, I knew that I was finally among like-​minded people with the same highly opinionated, foodie dissection obsession, unlike my closest friends, God bless them, who love me but sometimes giggle when I take photos of food.
And I was excited to finally meet Brad B., the SD Unilocal Community manager!

Haha! Another 5 star review seems redundant at this stage — but maybe the fact that I’m veggie and still giving a super high grade is significant!
The staff were wonderful, the company even better and the PLANTAIN! Yum. This always reminds me of when my grandma who grew up in Africa would buy some from the London Caribbean markets and fry it up for me: D
The party was wikid fun — incredible array of salads and also yummy mash and crispily delicious polenta fries. The cocktail was scrumptious (all too rare imho!)
I loved meeting local Unilocalers — and everyone was super friendly. To cap it off I also won the raffle for the wine/​food festival next week. I am truly blessed!
Thanks Brad — and of course the almighty Unilocaler in the sky!

Was i in carnivore heaven?! i think i was.
What an outstanding Unilocal event it was!
Don’t even know where to start, welcomed with Brazilian drink Caipirinha, then got seated at the beautifully decorated table with bottles of wine, then the meets start flowing, the conversations were going.
The service was remarkable and the food was incredible!

I’m writing my review 2 days late because I honestly just woke up from my food coma!!! Everyone, beware! After you eat pounds and pounds of meat, you will likely fall into a deep sleep, and wake up 48 hours later with a six-​pack. What can I say, protein does a body good!
On the day of this event, I strolled in and looked around to see if I knew anyone there. But, I quickly realized that the only company I needed were the Brazilian men stopping by each table to offer their meat. (no pun intended)
I’m more of a poultry girl, but the Signature Steak immediately converted me into a red meat lover! In my first bite I could taste the juiciness of the meat and hint of seasoning. It was prefect to say the least. I’m still trying to describe its perfection to my husband, (who wasn’t there) a true meat lover!
Not only were the meats all tasty, so were the items off the salad bar. Everything tasted of quality and freshness.
Besides their mouth-​watering food, the highlight of my day was running into some friends from 3^rd grade!!! I couldn’t believe it!!! Oh, and I finally got to meet Angelo F… He’s been one of those, «I know you on Unilocal via your check-​ins» friends lol!
Anyway, this was one fantastic Unilocal event! One of my faves simply because of the quality and quantity of the food. And, of course, because I saw a friend who brought me back memories of when I used to watch Michael Jackson on MTV: D
Thank you Brad B. and the entire Unilocal crew for my new 6-​pack!

I don’t even know where to begin. The red meat and red wine were just flowing and even though it was only 2pm, I indulged!
WOW! I know where some of my favorite meat is in San Diego now!
I love 4 things:
1) Top meats: Fraldinha (Bottom Sirloin) — this was the first meat I tasted and WOW WOW WOW! Flavored so well! Can’t believe I could have eaten all that I wanted to of it but didn’t — had to save room to try other things… #2 runner up was the lamp chops… one of the best lamb chops I ever tasted.
2) the FRIED POLENTA!!! ummagosh! Like French Fries… but dare I say… oh yes… better!
3) the Salad bar… yeah… I said it… I liked that they had some great cheese and fish options to compliment the meat.
4) The WINE! I took a picture… hope it uploaded… if so you should see it pop up below.
If you go here, lookout for these 4 things.
AND I loved loved loved the service! EVERYONE was kind and smiling and helpful and accommodating.
Eat here. You will not regret it.
LOVED this event.
I was a fan of the other Brazilian restaurant in town and would not have given Fogo a chance, if it weren’t for this amazing event.
Bravo Brad! Bravo!
PS I was JUST kidding when I asked why there wasn’t enough food ;) in case you didn’t know. hehehe

Having been to a few Unilocal elite events, I would say this event was the best event EVER. I was bummed that my elite partner had moved away but I was determined to go to this one, even if it meant going solo. But I didn’t regret it one bit because I met some awesome people (Melissa T.H., Rob, Cindy, Nette and Adam).
The salad bar alone was great. From the kale salad, to the aged cheese, to the mango salad. All items were FRESH and TASTY.
Then there’s the meats. Ohhh sooo many meats. I honestly did not have the opportunity to try each item because I got full so quick, but the meats that stuck out were the filet mignon and the filet mignon wrapped in bacon.
Staff was awesome that day. They had my glass filled and kept the meat coming. The side dishes complimented the meats well. My faves were the fried polenta and plantains. And the bread they served was addicting. Like one Unilocaler mentioned, it tasted like it had mochi. A cheesy mochi bread. It was different but it was delicious and I couldn’t stop munching on them. I think I got full off that.
I’m sure glad I wore my stretchy pants or else I wouldn’t have been able to eat as much as I did!

What else can be said that hasn’t already been mentioned?
Unilocal Elite parties are always fun. The food at Fogo de Chao was flowing and so was the alcohol. Indeed one of the best parties ever.
Not a long line to enter into this event. We were greeted and served a nice refreshing cocktail as we made our way around to find a seat.
Brad did an amazing job with coordinating this event. The staff at Fogo de Chao were so nice and patient with all of us. The meat kept coming and coming that I literally had to throw in the towel and rest. (as I flipped the coaster over to RED)
My favorite cuts were the Picanha (yummy garlic flavor) and Alcatra. The sides that were served on our table was also yummy. That was my first time tasting polenta.
The pao de queijo (warm cheese bread) is to die for. I couldn’t stop eating it. Maybe that’s why i couldn’t eat as much.
The wine and mixed cocktails were a treat. They were so kind enough to serve me CROWN & Coke. (not on the menu but accommodated my request)
Thank you again Brad and the staff at Fogo de Chao.

If this review doesn’t appear as coherent as some of my other reviews it is because I think I am just awakening from the food coma induced by the edibles at this amazing event. First and foremost, the staff was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. Not to mention the carving handiwork of the Gauchos serving us the blinding variety of roast beast right from the skewer wielding a razor sharp knife with ninja-​like skill.
Upon entering the dining area, servers were holding trays of what I can only describe as a Argentinean Mojito (I failed to ask the name) which was both tasty and quite potent. In addition to that we were offered a great house Malbec that complimented pretty much everything we ate, both red and white meat, amazingly well. Also awaiting us were baskets of warm, cheesy mini popovers. I spent 5 minutes trying to figure out a discrete way to abscond with several dozen.
At the the beginning of the dining experience, we were invited to head to the salad bar. A clever move in my opinion as to allow one to occupy some free stomach space with non-​meat items. This was one of the most well designed salad bars I have ever seen. Souplantation could not touch it. From traditional salad fix in’s to a whole wheel of Parmesan cheese, marinated [Shiitake] mushrooms, an entire bowl of bacon, not bits, and at least a dozen other items.
Let the feast begin! For those of you not familiar with the process, on our tables lay a circle. Green on one side and red on the other. This little pice of round paper determines your fate and it completely controlled by you. If a Gaucho comes by with meat and the green is showing, you get meat. Conversely, red means stop. I tempted fate and kept mine on green for almost the entire experience and proceeded home to sleep for the rest of the weekend.
As expected, Brad handled this event with expertise and grace. This was my first San Diego Elite Event and I look forward to seeing more of Brad’s CM skills. Not to mention all of the new Elite friends I had the pleasure of meting. Thanks for the fun and subsequent meat induced lethargy.

This was my second elite event and it has set the bar very high for future parties.
There are so many reviews already posted that I agree with, that I’ll keep my review short.
A carnivore’s delight…
the meat was amazingly flavorful, well seasoned, served hot, and oh-​so-​mouthwateringly delicious with intense flavor I wonder if they inject the seasonings in all the meat? Try as I might, I could only manage to savor 7 of the 13 cuts of meats on their menu.
In order of my preference this time:
1– Lamb leg
2– Lamb Rib
3– Parmesan crusted Pork
4– Filet Mignon, Bacon wrapped
5– Chicken leg
5– Filet mignon
6– Pork Rib
7– Sirloin with garlic
The sides were lovely: the crispy polenta and carmelized bananas were my faves, though I thoroughly enjoyed the massive salad bar with the cheese selection (Queso Manchego, and aged parmesan were my favorites) the most, then the smoked salmon. And who am I kidding, I liked all the salad and olives to on my plate to pretend I was balancing meat with vegies.
The service was stellar! at one point our server asked if there was anything we wanted to try again, and she’d do her best to bring it out again.
I sat at a fun table of elite Unilocalers, who made a rookie like me feel oh so loved. :)
Talk about fun. I’m still in food coma heaven. Can’t wait to come back to this Fogo de Chao — I have been to the one in Beverly Hills and think the staff at the San Diego location really delivered excellent and memorable service.

Vegetarianism & veganism are for the weak.
Fill my plate with that delicious red and white meat.
For this kind of carnivorous desire, Fogo de Chao cannot be beat.
So let it be written, let it be done. This event was Epic. Simply epic.
Sometimes I feel that as an Elite, I am spoiled. Today’s event really reinforced that notion. B-​Rad really knocked it out of the park with this one. Just when you think the events can’t get better, they do. I don’t know how he does it, but he does it… and he does it well.
You could probably safely place Fogo de Chao as the top apex predator of Brazilian steakhouses and for good reason. The atmosphere and ambiance of the restaurant is outstanding, the staff is professional, courteous and on their game. Then the food, well the food… but first let’s build up to that with a story…
So I went extreme prep for this one. You can call me crazy but to keep with the whole caveman, hunter gatherer theme of this thing, I go hardcore like that.
Friday: 7 mile (1:30 round-​trip) Mount Woodson hike/​trail run followed by 1 hour of mixed high intensity at the gym.
Saturday: Pre-​event workout for combined total of, 150 pull-​ups, 200 push ups, 100 squats, 100 sit-​ups, 80+ kettle bell swings, 2000m rows.
Then, to further go along with the whole caveman routine, I decided to walk 2 miles to the trolley stop to ride the trolley just to walk 2 miles back on the return trip. You may say, «Jeff you could have just drove» and you’re right, I could have but that wouldn’t have been as fun or made the reward of an epic caveman meal feel as gratifying. Just like a true hunter gatherer, you should have to work for a meal like this. With that said, was the event worth it? That would be a resounding, «Hell yes!»
Okay, sorry about getting sidetracked there… now onto the food…
It started with a salad bar. Yeah okay I’ll indulge for the sake of trying it out but that’s not why I’m here. They had a great selection of healthy food items as far as salad bar goes, but I went pretty light on that saving room for the main attraction.
This is where things got great.
First off, even the little appetizers were delicious. The cheese-​bread (couldn’t stop eating these, mashed potatoes (I swear I was the only one eating these and I felt guilty that they kept bringing more to the table just for me), caramelized bananas were also delicious albeit almost a little too sweet. I won’t lie, the cocktails were also excellent as well as was the wine.
The staff kept bringing by so much sirloin, lamb, chicken, drinks, etc. that I honestly couldn’t even keep track of what I was eating. I forgot that I left the green coaster up which meant that the staff would come by dropping off food like it was going out of style. Just for the record, the sirloin, filet mignon, bacon wrapped chicken, garlic beef, were the ones that stood out the most for me.
Regardless of whatever it was, it did not disappoint, Everything was phenomenally delicious. I hadn’t eaten a good steak in a long time and this was exactly what I needed to remind me of why I’m a carnivore (well technically omnivore but the carnivore side is much more fun and satisfying). Finally I had to pump the brakes and flip on the red light because there is just only so much a man can take. Now I know I missed out on a few which only means that I’ll have to come back on a return trip and try those that I missed.
Anyway, it was great to be in the company of great people and great food. I saw a lot of new faces and met a lot of new people, not to mention the regulars as well. F-​ing A, Brad, you really killed it on this one. Fogo de Chao was outstanding in every way their staff was top-​notch and their service impeccable, they are definitely a force to be reckoned with when it comes to go to Steakhouses in SD.
Thanks again to Brad and the entire staff of Fogo de Chao for making this such an outstanding event. It was awesome, awesome, awesome. We Unilocalers were totally spoiled at this one.
Carnivores unite!

AMAZING!
10 hours later and I’m still stuffed! Thank you to Fogo de Chao, Brad, and the Unilocal squad for this incredible event.
Surprising highlight for me was that yummy cheesy roll that came out in the beginning. I want that recipe!

Holy crackers,
It’s days like these that make me proud to be a SD elite Unilocaler.
Greeted at the door with those lime sugar cane rum drinks, I knew this was going to be an epic event. I was actually worried I was going to be lonely because I knew nobody, because this was my first sd Unilocal event. But everyone was so charming and helpful, I felt part of a large thanksgiving family dinner.
The gauchos were great. I don’t think I went 5 minutes without any delicious meat on my plate. I ate until I hit the food wall. One of the servers even got me a coca cola, since I wasn’t a big wine aficionado and I didn’t wanna get drunk off those rum drinks.
Cheese balls, filet mignon, rib eyes cuts, and fresh mozzarella cheese… life is good.
Thanks Brad and the staff of Fogo de Chao :)

You know you’re in for a good time when you’re greeted with libations at the door. The caipirinha was delicious as was everything else. Serially, EVERYTHING was top notch. I broke one of my cardinal rules– do not fill up on salads and appetizer type foods before the main event. But, it all looked so good! Artichoke hearts, smoked salmon, cheeses, prosciutto, chicken salad, etc. Nevertheless, I womanned up and tried almost all of the meats… twice. I was somewhat skeptical about the quality because, back in the day, I was not impressed with a fancy Brazilian steakhouse… in Brazil. The grass fed meat was tough and all well done. At fogo, though, they slice off meats to your desired doneness. If they don’t have what you want, they go grill it up a little longer.
Luckily, they had plenty of medium rares. My faves were the rib eye and the bottom round, or was it bottom sirloin? It was bottom something and it was divine– so tender.
Thanks to Brad, Unilocal,and restaurant for my beautiful food haze. Gonna set the alarm for a 15 minute nap.

Got meat?
Today’s favorite color is green. Why you may ask? It just so happens that if you turn the green chip (coaster) where green is on top, you’re pretty much asking for meat to come to you by the boatloads! I’m not kidding! Green all day, every day!
Let’s be real though. My tummy (understatement of the year, we all know it’s a stomach, maybe even a belly) was getting on the full side, so I placed the red side up to signal STOP, please, no more, no more. HOWEVER, if I saw anything I liked coming by our table, I could flip it to GREEN in no time! Boom.
Cindy H, Jason C, Kristofer R and Shannon K kept me company, and for that I’m eternally grateful! It was nice to meat you guys! Since this was my second official Unilocal Elite event, the intimidation wore down immediately as everyone was SO NICE! Shout out to Brad B. for hosting us at Fogo de Chao, even though I didn’t win a door prize. Maybe next time?
Down to business, because I’m always business first, right? This was my first try at a Brazilian steakhouse, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Looking at the place, it definitely was nice and you really get the feel that they know how to treat people. I completely understand this was a private event, and I’m sure they wanted to throw out the red carpet, but the Fogo de Chao staff was outstanding, nonetheless!
I won’t lie to you and tell you I understood all that I was eating, I can just sum it up for you like this:
1. Great salad bar! I think it was a setup, because even though everyone was looking forward to the meat parade, the salad had so many good and unique items I was ready to smash even before the main course! I think if you decided to come with a bunch of meat eating crazies, you could still have a great meal without all the meat!
2. The yummy appetizer bread was OUTSTANDING. I didn’t and still don’t know what it was, but it was good and I could of had just that.
3. I already spilled the beans on how they bring out the meat, but let’s say it was ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ for me (not ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ from Slaters, that’s another review). Half the meat I loved, like their fillet minion and the bacon wrapped chicken AND the Brazilian pork chops. The other cuts weren’t really for me, but it may be for you, you meat-​a-​terian! :)
4. Their Brazilian cocktail was awesome, and if I didn’t have to drive, I would of had more. Yeah, and I don’t even really drink that much too!
5. I would have really wanted to see what they had for dessert, but maybe that was the bananas that tasted like dessert they served during the meal? I’m not sure!
I’d plan on taking some out of town friends here, because Fogo de Chao was a very unique experience for me and I’m sure it would be for them too! Brad B, I’m ready for the next event bro! Thanks!

I may not have the first review, but I’m the first one in line! Judging from the photos outside the place, everything looks good! Can’t wait to try everything (and possibly be rolled out in an ambulance afterwards)!
EDIT — Now that I’ve come down from the food coma, here’s more of my detailed thoughts…
The venue was very nice and upscale inside, and the servers (especially Israel, who was assigned to our table) were very helpful and knowledgeable about the place and the cuts of meat.
The salad bar was full of delicious stuff — my personal favorites were the artichoke bottoms, the marinated mushrooms, and the fresh mozzarella. I wish I had a chance to try the hot sides, but I really wanted to leave room for the meat. That cheese bread was really awesome, though, and I liked the caramelized banana and the polenta fritters as well.
The meats — Oh. My. God. Too much meat, but it was oh so good! I had flipped my card over to green, and they kept on coming and coming… even my friends were surprised at how much was on my plate. Despite my insistence that I could finish it (and making the realization that I had left my card on green), I ended up tapping out after finishing half my plate — but man, what I was able to put away was delectable. The alcatra (top sirloin), the fraldinha (bottom sirloin), the garlic sirloin, the costela (juicy beef ribs), the ancho (prime part of the rib eye), the filet mignon wrapped in bacon, the chicken wrapped in bacon, the bacon wrapped in bacon — oh wait, that wasn’t part of the meal — the linguica (sausage)… thinking about it still makes me want to go into a food coma (though I didn’t need the ambulance after all)!
The drinks — The house wine was good, but that caipirinha was STRONG! Made with rum, Sprite, and lots of lime, I could only nurse one, while my friend Isabella B. — whose knowledge of Fogo de Chao’s practices was very welcome — easily killed three of them and a glass of wine besides!
Great company as well — thanks for the fun times, Isabella, John B., Jason R., John V., Maria C., Arlene P., Melanio F., Judy S., Lana R., and Tiffany K.
Brad, I don’t know what you did to get Fogo de Chao to host a Unilocal Elite event… but THANK YOU!!! Easily the best food-​related Unilocal Elite event I have been to so far!!!

I feel like Bart Simpson after he drank an all syrup squishy! This event was amazing. The location was classy. My companions were really nice. I could eat all the glorious meat I desired. The servers kept coming with all these different preparations of beef, pork, and chicken. :-)
My favorites were:
filet mignon — tender with awesome flavor
ribeye — tender with awesome flavor
lamb chop — most tender chop I have ever had and awesome flavor
pork rib — awesome crust from the dry rub yet tender inside with awesome flavor
Thanks Brad and the staff/​management at Fogo de Chao for the awesome experience with delicious meat!
It was great talking to my fellow Unilocalers: Jack M, Linda F, Arlene P, and Judy S.

Remember the last time you felt amazing?
Was your tummy tight as a drum full and your buzz a good foundation for a day and night full of merry making?
That is me after this amaze hen event!
I didn’t RSVP right away because I am a veggie and I thought that it would be lame of me if I took a spot from someone who really wanted it. So when the waitlist came up I hoped for the best and expected the worst. Lucky for me and my poultry familiar Camilla the Unilocaling Hen we got in!
Upon check in we were handed a drink and it set the tone for the whole event!
Emily the bartender was on point. If her manager is reading this, promote her or do something nice. If a potential customer is reading this then check for her at the bar and rest easy knowing your drink is going to be perfect. If you are a Unilocaler who went to this event and you enjoyed the drinks, now you know who made your lunch that much better!
The staff were AMAZING. I mean 100% AMAZING! I have rarely seen this type of service and it really blows my mind given that this was a full event and we still got treated like VIPs.
So being a veggie did I enjoy the food?
Yes.
YES!
The salad bar was so good! The sides were yummy too! For once a meat centered place has options for veggies!!! Moreover, I was treated like a regular human, rather then an annoying customer for being the lame veggie in the group.
So Brad, I would write you a poem regaling everyone who read it with your awesomeness but methinks the thank you’s and happy faces after this event are far more moving. You are an awesome Community Manager, person, and Unilocaler. Thank you so much for your hard work putting together events, and working them.
Isabella B. Seriously. I am your super fan, stalker, and Unilocal buddy! I always get happy when I see you! Camilla says she would share her chia seeds with you!!!
Jack M the Godfather of Unilocal,as always a pleasure and a privilege.
Legend has it that once Jack ordered a meal and his potatoes were boiled for too long so the mash was soggy and not up to his high standards. Giving his complaint to the waiter he was soon escorted to the back of the kitchen where the chef was over boiling everything. With one look at the pot from Jack the chef was cured of his over boiling habit. And THAT is why a watched pot never boils.
Got to meet Linda F. SHE IS REAL, and she is REALLY AWESOME! Just like she is on the interwebs!
Jason L., Julie, Tien (ATien as the ballers call you hahha), Meiko, Kristofer R., everyone, you are all awesome and I was glad to see you.
Camilla the Unilocaling Hen is napping and I am about to join her. Thanks to this awesome event we will sleep the happy sleep of the stuft and buzzed. Yes, we both snore.

Meat Sweats was right!
This is my second visit to FdC and it was just as memorable. AYCE with my elite friends is a great way to spend a Saturday lunch.
We were greeted by Fogo staff and a sweet cocktail. Thanks Nette for saving me a seat with the gang!
I cannot say enough about Adam, general manager, and the staff at Fogo. They were on top of everything — service was impeccable, but what’s new? My first visit was just as amazing.
I skipped the salad fluff, with the exception of a couple of cherry tomatoes, cheeses and meats, and waited for the real meats to come. The warm appy bread and the sides were great, especially the polenta fries. OMG, I can have those forever!!!
The meats were better this time around as they weren’t as salty as my first visit. Thanks for listening FOGO! They also have their own wine, which they would be selling at $ 50 a pop, if and when they’re able to sell it.
Faves were Picanha and Ribeye. The lamb chop was pretty bomb considering I don’t eat lamb chops on a daily basis. I asked for my meats medium rare and fatty and that’s what I got.
Shout outs to my peeps — too many to list!!! I saw my homies and I met some new people who I can’t wait to see at the next elite events.
Thanks Brad for an epic event. You are the man!!!

Oh sweet oblivion! After drinking only 2 potent caipirinhas at the Unilocal elite event at Fogo de Chao, I have been forced to pause at Coffee and Art on my way to my car for a Mexican mocha with 2 shots of espresso! Those brazilians can out-​drink this Irish woman! A caipirinha is Brazil’s national cocktail with silver cachaca, fresh limes and cane sugar. Can’t spell it? Just spell it R U M! Oooooo-​weeee!
Am I the only one who had seconds at the salad bar?! Excellent salad bar which included some exotic stuff including palm hearts. The salad bar nicely compliments all that meat!
I’m returning to this place with family & friends! Fogo de Chao brings superb meats to your table. My favorites were the fillet mignon, which melted on my tongue before I could chew it, and the picanha or house meat, and the prime sirloin with sea salt and garlic. I also adore the lamb and the chicken!
The service was outstandingly attentive. (-; Thank you, Fogo de Chao and staff! I’ll be back!
Diego V it was an honor to sit next to you at your first Unilocal elite event. (-;
Eric L, thank you for asking the staff to help me catch up on the meats which I missed out on as I arrived a tad late! You are so thoughtful! I was late because the directions on the Unilocal ap on my iPhone lead me astray, but that’s all part of the adventure!
Juan R, I gazed wistfully across the room at you and communicated by telepathy to ask you to wait for me and say hello. Alas you had your receiver turned off. (-; Next time I won’t be late, I’ll use all 3 of my GPS devices at once! One of them is bound to work. (-: Did I tell you I have no sense of direction even without rum?
Melanio and Maricela and Jeff it’s always great to chat with you! Jack M, as one of the busiest Unilocal elites, it was inspiring to see you Unilocaling at this elite event! (-;
Brad and Unilocal,I’m grateful for another opportunity to discover a fantastic business in San Diego! Fogo de Chao, please take a bow, and I’m a fan now!!!
Where’s my car? Seriously you guys, where in the Unilocal did I park my car?! 0-​; (-;
