Day 35 - A picture of your favorite place to eat.
Tucanos | Brazilian Grill · Boise Location
1388 South Entertainment Ave.
(208) 343-5588
Lunch $13.95 · Dinner $20.95
My favorite place to eat is Tucanos Brazilian Grill. You probably could have guessed that I would have chosen an all-you-can-eat buffet. The Brazilian tradition of grilling (Churrasco) is a fusion of South American and European cultures. From its birth in the grasslands of Brazil, to the sparkling beaches of Rio de Janeiro, Tucano. At Tucanos, meats and vegetables are carefully selected to ensure that only the freshest cuisine is served. And their meats are cooked on skewers over open-flame grills. They have one here in Boise, but they also have three other locations. Salt Lake City. Provo. And Albuquerque. When I went for my first time, I was surprised at the small cuts of meat..until I realized they don't stop coming. Unless you give them the red queue. I know, amazing, isn't it? Flip the Tucanos queue to green, and you're served nonstop meat. Plus the salad bar..that I don't usually have room for. Flip it to red and everything stops. Or if you're like me, you can flip it to red, just for a brief pause. I usually just pause for a quick Samoan crunch. For the Samoan crunch, you just spread your arms outwards and stretch your back over the back of the seat..to make room for more delicious Brazilian food. And then..green queue.
Benihana | Japanese Restaurant and Sushi Bar · San Diego Location

Lunch $10 - $17 · Dinner $20 - $25
Katie's favorite place to eat is Benihana..which would be my second choice. But only because it's not a buffet. We're pretty broke students so we don't usually eat at expensive restaurants. But for special occasions, or if we just happen to have a little extra money in our pockets..which rarely happens, then these two restaurants are our top picks. Benihana restaurants are traditional Japanese hibachi steakhouses, which feature the Japanese cooking method known as "teppanyaki." And there are a lot of them so there is a good chance that you can find one near you. From mouth-watering steak, tender chicken (and I mean really tender and juicy chicken), succulent seafood and garden-fresh vegetables to a variety of sushi and other Japanese delightfulness, meals are prepared fresh and served by a performing chef, right before your eyes. Pretty cool, huh? It's pretty crazy, some of the things the chefs can do with food. It's an art. A beautiful, edible art. Katie loves their chicken fried rice and teriyaki steak. And I love their chicken fried rice and spicy hibachi chicken. So make sure you get the chicken fried rice. But it's all brilliant.
