All you can eat meat...

[fleuryisgod]

So one of my buddies had heard something about some all you can eat meat place but he is not sure of the name of it. From what he was told you keep getting meat until you raise a white flag on your table to indicate that you are done. He thinks that it is on Macleod Trail but is not too sure. Has anyone else heard of this and if so what is the name of the place and was it actually any good?

[KevanGuy]

Bolero.

[Schultzie]

It's called Bolero. I've never been there before, but I heard the food is awesome. You have to book a table about a week in advance, though, so make sure you plan ahead if you want to go. Haha.

It's almost a cliche that KevanGuy posted the first reply in an All You Can Eat Meat thread.

[BlackArcher101]

So what kind of meat are we talking about here? Anything? Like unlimited Steaks?

[OilersBaby]

Man, my brother REALLY needs to go visit this place...that guy's stomach is a bottomless pit!

[rockstar]

Oh God I'm so hungry.

[Drunk Skunk]

It sounds like the name of a Brazilian steak house.

[OILFAN #81]

Really good place. I've been there once. It's $35 for all you can eat.

Here is part of the menu:

Pichana - "This rump cut is the classic churrascaria offering. Subtly falvored and incredibly tender"

Alcatra - "Cut from the top Sirloin seasoned only with sea salt to reveal it's natural flavour"

Pork Ribs - "Baby back ribs like you've never had them before. Slow roasted for aximum flavour"

Garlic Parmesan Pichana - "We roast smaller portionsof our classic cut with garlic, parmesan lovres in mind"

Pineapple - "Whole roasted with a delicious hint of smoke and caramel"

Linguica - "Robust pork sausages, slow roasted to mouth-watering perfection."

^^^ haha why am I not surprised that you've already been there!!

So you can choose any of the above and then eat as much as you want? Or you can only choose 1 of them and then eat as much as you want?

[Swarly]

you sit there and they bring around all these different meats on a skewer and cut off pieces of the ones you want. You have a signal device at the table to tell all the servers if you want them to come to you or pass by for now.

Man sounds good... but I cant eat that much in one sitting...

I always get out eaten at bbq's and stuff like that... (and I am not a little guy)

[SteveToms]

It's really good, went there for a birthday a while ago, very good.

[OilersBaby]

Yeah I can't eat enough at one sitting to justify going there...I eat like 6 small meals in a day. The only thing I pig out on is chocolate or ice cream...luckily I have kickass metabolism!

[Drunk Skunk]

That sounds exactly like Fogo De Chao in Chicago, and other places.

[Temporary_User]

Nice. I have never heard of this place, but I love the type of restaurant!

Can anyone help me with etiquette if I choose to get my brother and sister-in-law gift certificates for x-mas?
I'm in college so they don't expect much from me, but would one just simply get them $70 worth so they can both eat, or should I just lay down $100 (or something) so they can begin to drink their faces off as well...
???

Cravings is another place in Calgary that does this - near Heritage and Macleod.

Bolero is pretty decent, though if you are really picky about how your meat is done or that it be very lean you might not like it. Hard to cook meat a specific way on a skewer.

[Cheese]

Sounds like a Brazilian/Portuguese style restaraunt. There is only so much meat a man can eat LOL. They know the limits and one or two massive eaters wont change the fact that most cant eat $35 worth.

Gold fotze.

My god, I've been here four times in the last 14 months, I get to be the third wheel with the roomie and his bf, but I don't mind because it's awesome and free for me. The pineapple is fabulous.

The first time I went I hit the meat hard. I couldn't get enough fast enough and walked out of there feeling like I was going to explode. I couldn't look at red meat for about 10 days after that, so the trick is to pace yourself and don't load up on potatoes and stuff in the salad bar. I found taking a nice plate of salad, the southwest style with corn is my fav, and slowly munching on it during the whole meal makes the whole thing easier. Also, don't order pop with it--stick with wine or water.

When the kid comes buy with the meat, just get small hunks chopped off. I'm like most guys and want a big old slab slapped down there, but really just get little bits and then at the end ask for them to bring by your fav once again.

My one issue, then never seem to have enough of the bacon-wrapped chicken--that, by far, may be the best thing on the menu. I like the alctra and picahna as far as red meat goes. Also, the tres leches is a good one for dessert, if you have room.
