    Perhaps I'll give it another shot. I do remember trying the place for the first time 15 years ago or so and not ever tasting a filet like that one.

    I've never been to a Texas de Brazil but have gone to a couple of other similar places. I rarely overeat on buffets but make an exception for Brazilian steakhouses. I love the extravagant salad bars and sampling of all the meats.

    Shortly after moving to Houston in 2001, my parents took me out to Fogo de Chao for some type of special occasion (maybe a birthday). I loaded up my salad bar plate, got back to my seat and noticed my wine had been poured while I was away. As I was taking my first sip, I briefly locked eyes with former President Bush and it caused me to kind of choke (i.e. wrong pipe). My mom kind of teased me for not being a wine drinker and I told her it was because of the "guy" at the table next to us. After she realized who it was, she mentioned it to the rest of the table but said "don't everyone look at once". For the next few minutes, we all felt a little awkward stealing glances.

    George, Barbara, and the other couple hit up the salad bar shortly after and gave us a polite head nod. My dad went to an Astros game the very next night with some sort of company tickets and the elder Bush was sitting near him and shook everyone's hands in the section. My dad said Bush looked at him like "Don't I know you from somewhere?".
