mineralman55 Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 I was in Houston on business. Walking around downtown looking for a place to eat one night and stopped into the restaurant associated with one of the hotels which featured semi exotic meats such as bison burgers. I ordered the "Wild boar sausage and pepperoni" pizza. I'd never have thought of that combo, so I tried it. Outstanding! That was some of the finest sausage ever on a thin crust pizza. After that, I went around the corner to a place called "The Flying Saucer". Great pub, lots of beers on tap. The walls are covered with platters with people's names painted on them. I think you get a saucer if you have 200 beers at their pub. Some of the guys at my office are working on their third plates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also one in Fort Worth that I went to several times as well. If you want to have lots of beer options, that is one place to go.

392heminut Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 A few years ago Fudruckers in El Paso had wild boar burgers on the menu. DAMN good burgers but they disappeared from the menu. I asked management what happened and they told me they were seasonal. They've never reappeared on the menu to this day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears that they never asked enough of us here to help them with that wild board issue - or they would have been BOOMING! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years back the state of Louisiana, which recognized the problem we have with the invasive species nutria, launched an informational campaign encouraging people to hunt and eat nutria. People said it was tasty, but it never caught on (except with the coonasses, they'll eat anything), I suspect mostly because in general no one wants to eat rodent. If they had run the same campaign for the wild hogs down here, being a more familiar meat, hogs would no longer be the problem they are.

Sisco Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 I have cooked and smoked wild hogs shot in Florida. It is mighty tasty stuff. Just have to be careful due to parasites. Next to bears, wild pigs are among the highest critters in number carrying trichinosis, which believe me, you don't want to get. Surgery gloves and particle masks when you clean them, and make sure all meat is cooked thoroughly. Sitting on a moose roast in my freezer I plan to cook next week.

mineralman55 Posted August 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 We took our son to Texas De Brazil in Baton Rouge for his birthday. What an outstanding place!!! If you've never been to a good Brazilian-style steak house, you are missing out. It's a never ending supply of some of the finest beef, chicken and pork ever, plus a salad bar to match. There were two meats that particularly stand out to me, the beef ribs and the garlic mignon. Next time I go I'll just concentrate on those two. http://www.texasdebrazil.com/locations/louisiana/baton-rouge/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisco Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Fago DE Chao is a Brazilian Steakhouse chain that is outstanding. When I was in El Calafate Patagonia, Argentina I ordered the "Mixed Grill" to split with my nephew. Along with blood sausage (morcilla) and a great bottle of wine. It turned out to be 5 pounds of lamb and beef wood roasted on its own brasserie warmer with various sauces. Incredible! Total bill equivalent to about $35 in American dollars.

Robocop1051 Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 I lived in Brazil as a teenager. Been there 5 times total. The Brazilian BBQ (churrascaria) is an amazing experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubbas4570 Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 We have a Brazilian grill in town. The only bad thing is the price per person, and the fact that I cannot eat as much as I used to.....then these two facts would not be as bad. We did eat there once, very good, way too much eaten, but above my pay scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
