Curraschia Plataforma
Most of the time when my grandparents come to town, I go out to dinner with them. Sometimes it's at very upscale restaurants, other times more casual. When my grandparents from Belgium arrived they took us to Plataforma, which is a Brazilian restaurant, where waiters bring out long sticks with every kind of meat on it that you can imagine. We took my friend Max there with us which was a blast because he can speak in Portuguese, so he was able to chat with them which made us all crack up. There was a salad bar, which had sushi, salad, mushrooms, shrimp and much more. I took advantage of the Salad bar because, unlike my brother, I am not a huge Carnivore. When the meat finally arrived, I munched on Sirloin, flank and strip steak, along with chicken, ribs and sausage. I was not as adventurous as Owen or Max in terms of eating meat, but I definitely enjoyed the salad bar more than them. After my delicious strawberry shortcake dessert, I went outside with my brother and Max. Then came the climax of the meal. Max nudged an enormous light fixture, which weighed possibly 1 ton, and it fell, almost crushing my brother on it's path to the ground. We quickly grabbed our bags and ran, before the restaurant could sue us. Plataforma was a great restaurant, and I really enjoyed the meal other than the incident at the end. Maybe their sushi could have been a little bit fresher. I give Churaschia Plataforma a 8.7/10.

You had better hope the restaurant does not read this. Were you and Max aiming at Owen???
When I went there with you, I never got past the wonderful salad bar. Yumm!!
Your vocabulary is outstanding.

Dear Julian, WHICH grandparents probably has a lot to do with how "upscale!" Just wondering how you'd rate the diners to which Grampy takes you and Owen for breakfast...
Love you, Gummie
