Texas de Brazil group dinner

StinkyTurd

The dinner will be on Saturday the 30 at 5pm if your interested please put your name down here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16he38-VRGspStJuJi1Kn7ZBUAYyYklmtiVqxQBOA9mk/edit?usp=sharing by the 28th when reservations will be made.

RILMS

I could be tempted to go there...Only been once, but it was so good....

StinkyTurd

I know I'm looking at it as my food splurge for the trip I'd like at least 1 meal to not be off a dollar menu or at a bar so I may as well make it something I'd normally never get. Oh and can't wait to get my coins thanks for taking the lead on that

pragmanic

Hey man, I'd go with you, day depending. I'm also going to PAX alone, but a couple of friends are meeting me from Austin on Sunday.

StinkyTurd

Yea I was thinking Sunday after the convention would be best since there would be least likely to interfere with any of the sheet hours events but it depends on everyone else's schedule but I'm assuming Friday will be the twitch party, Saturday is Indies need booze and a lot of twitchers community meet ups, Thursday not everyone's there plus the bar crawl and prepax game night so Sunday will most likely be best.

RILMS

I will be heading back to Corpus on Sunday...but not sure what time. I'm going with friends, so it may depend on their schedules as well....We'll see

StinkyTurd

Here I head back to fort Worth on Sunday myself sadly my greyhound doesn't leave till 10pm:( I suppose Saturdays doable since Indies need booze doesn't start until 9 so that should be enough time for a good dinner first I just don't want to miss the twitch party if they do it again this year greyhound screwed me last year and I missed it I'd rather not do that again. But again we need to compare schedules a bit closer to pax hopefully a few more ppl will be interested by then

pragmanic

I could probably do Saturday. PM me if you need contact info.

Wzagorski89

Hey, coming from Sinton here, if it's on Saturday and I can still make Indies Need Booze, I'd be happy to come. Everyone paying for their own meals or are we pooling money?

level1gamer

I'm going by myself, too. I could do Saturday before Indies need booze.

StinkyTurd

Hmm looks like Saturday it is does either 5 or 6 pm sounds good to you guys that gives us 3-4 hours to eat and maybe get a shower in or since it looks like a few of us are going to Indies need booze we could just head over after dinner.

pragmanic

At Texas de Brazil you either get one thing (only the salad bar) or the full entree where you can choose as much meat as you'd like and the salad bar, so I don't think splitting checks will be a problem for them. I'm on their email list as I go a few times a year to the DC location, so I'll keep my eye out for coupons between now and the event, I think one coupon covers up to 8 people. We would probably need a reservation in order to ensure folks can make it to indies need booze; I'm willing to take the lead on that with a Google doc?

Wzagorski89

I need to check the schedule, but I'm leaning towards 5.

StinkyTurd

pragmanic if you think you can get coupons oir are willing to take the lead its all yours man i just want me some tasty tasty food

Wzagorski89

Well, can't wait to meet all of you! See you on Saturday!

pragmanic

Aight guys:

DOOO EEEET

RILMS

Can I bring friends that are not on the forums?

StinkyTurd

RILMS Well since pragmanic took over I can't say for sure but I wouldn't see why not I'd just stick them on the Google doc so he knows to make a reservation for them I say the more the merrier also again thanks for heading up the coins they look great and I can't wait to see mine in person.

pragmanic

Sure, that's totally cool, if you want to do that just put the number of people you're bringing on the spreadsheet in the notes section.

Wzagorski89

I'll add my info in a while, I'm out drinking and don't have access to a computer at the moment.

Wzagorski89

I wasn't able to find an exact menu for what that particular location has, but here's the webpage for this particular location:

RILMS

I wonder if @OpSteel, @Devereaux, @orthancstone, @JakeCapps, @BadCrumpany, @MasterRokku, @TheAggroCraig, and @shimwood or other people from the coin thread would be interested in dinner

StinkyTurd

would be cool if they did

shimwood

I'd be interested, but it depends on if I'm able to make it into the "Scared Yet: A Discussion of Horror in Games" panel that's taking place at 5:30 that night. I do plan on making it out to Texas de Brazil during my trip, but it will most likely be on Thursday night.

Thanks but I will have my wife and 2 kids with me. It gets rather pricey and the kids would rather spend their time playing board and card games in the evening. :-)

If anybody here is military, veteran, police, fire, EMS, or a teacher, I did see a 20% discount for up to 8 people. I don't like asking for discounts, but if they publicly offer it, I'm bring my department ID.

Only thing is that this is my first post (I use the mobile site and thought the forum was broken, until I happened to load the desktop site and saw I hadn't confirmed my email) and I don't know any of you (and you don't know random me). I always have a hard time expecting someone I don't know to show up for a group meal, I don't be the only one.

Also, I'll be with a friend and don't know if he'll be up for going.

Texas de Brazil was supposedly part of the Show Us Your Badge program, where if you were attending an event at the convention center and you brought your badge to the restaurant, they would give you a discount.

http://meetings.visitsanantonio.com/VisitSanAntonio-Meetings/media/Meetings/PDF-Docs/SUYB_Y15v2.pdf

I have not tried this but it was advertised last year for an event that I attended at the convention center, so might be worth a shot, it says it's still valid until the end of January.

Also, there really isn't a menu. You don't order anything; the servers walk around with skewers of various kinds of meat and ask you if you want some, and you say yes/no and they slice some accordingly onto your plate, or not. The selection each night varies, but usually includes chicken, sausage, ribs, and various cuts of beef, pork, and lamb.

That's an interesting serving concept.

Plus it has a 50+ item salad bar which has even more meats, fish, salads, breads, and soups. And nbs2 even if no one else shows up I'll be there so please come out and join us

Devereaux

I would have loved to go, however, spending time with family and friends. Thanks for the invite though 8-)

Wzagorski89

I'll definitely be there!

It's an awesome serving concept! ALL YOU CAN MEAT!

They give you a little card. One side of it is red, and another side is green. If you flip your card to green, the servers descend upon you with skewers from high meatdom! Price being $44.99 I only go a couple times a year but I'm overdue anyway. Looking forward to it!

Wzagorski89

and if its red, does that mean you don't want any at the moment?

Yep.

nbs2

Is Texas cards? I really liked the blocks that Rodizio and a few others use - red up for stop, green up for go, sideways for your check.

MaggieTheCat

The Texas de Brazil in San Antonio does do the red for stop/green for go cards (I'm not familiar with the sideways for check part, but maybe we'd jut never heard that particular "rule") but also in my experience, if anyone in the group has their card on green and a server comes around with some meat, they will ask everyone at the table if they want some, regardless of if your card is green or red.

StinkyTurd

Since I see a few new faces in here if your interested in coming don't forget to put your name in the Google doc I put it up on the first post.

unhallowed1014

I put the name in there, will know for sure shortly whether or not we are attending

TNTrooper

Finally remembered to add myself to the list.

shimwood

After giving it some thought, I've decided to forego the panel and come hang out with you guys. I'll add my friend and I to the list when I get home.
