King Shabu Shabu and Fogo de Chao

Shabu Shabu and Brazilian BBQ

Angus prime choice and kubota pork.

Ready to shabu shabu!

Steaming pots everywhere. Such a beautiful sight!

Fogo de Chao's massive doors.

The (somewhat limited) dineLA menu.

Sides. All pretty good. But remember they're just filler!

Salad bar.

Some of those asparagus looked normal sized...

Salad bar including smoked salmon, bacon. Plus some garlic beef (NOM NOM!) and pork rib.

Ophelia helps herself to some lamb.

Chris grabs the pichana-- the house special.

Top sirloin.

Cheese breads seem to have gotten larger. They're still so good they're like crack.

They weren't supposed to give us the bacon-wrapped filet mignon. Oops. We just had to eat the evidence. Nom.

Clockwise from top left: lamb, pichana, bottom sirloin. All three were superb tonight.

The liquor cart. You can just barely see the Remy Martin Louis XIII hiding on the top.

2x tres leches (not bad), cheesecake (nom), and chocolate cake (meh).

Post-cold-rainy-windy run lunch with Mike at King Shabu Shabu. Delicious, angus choice beef and kubota pork. Perfect to warm you up after a few hours of running!

dineLA Restaurant Week dinner at Fogo de Chao with Ophelia, Sue, and Chris. Slightly more limited menu, but you get the important stuff-- bottom sirloin, lamb, garlic beef, and house special pichana! Not to mention smoked salmon, bacon, huge asparagus, and of course the cheese rolls, which now seem to be about 20% larger. NOM NOM NOM...
