Reviving the Texan in Adam: the Finale

For the final leg of Adam's Houston adventure, we went straight to the meat of it. Following afternoon chai tea at Agora, we headed downtown for a fancy dinner. We checked out Samba Grille, a relatively new churrascaria in the theater district. I had never experienced the all-you-can-eat meat extravaganza, so my belly went into a bit of shock as it was stretched taut.We had fabulous assorted veggies, soup (mine was the Jade soup: spinach + broccoli cream + crabmeat gratin = heaven), and coconut rice (swoon!). Then the meat parade began with over a dozen cuts/types circulating on skewers. The carvers would come by and shave off a few slabs of juicy goodness until we had our fill and flipped our green coasters over to red (aka- stop... must digest... meat).Following the feast we waddled over to the Hobby Center to see Hairspray. The show was lots of fun, especially the ad-libbing in the father and mother's duet "You're Timeless to Me." Unfortunately, Adam timelessness was realized on Tuesday when he set off to Dallas for a couple days before returning to life as a surfer boy in California. Of course, the blog wouldn't be complete without a commemorative arm-length self pic shot:
