POPSOakland’s Little Guatemala – The early bird gets the tamale … and churrasco More: The tamales were pretty terrific too, tied with a little string. If you eat them there, the tamale lady unties the banana leaf and the fragrant wonderfulness perfumes the air. There is also a onion/pepper sauce which I was warned was hot … no kidding. Extra points for the woman being in native costume with her Guatemalan skirt, pink frilly apron and long-braided hair. She only sold the atole and tamales and had a larger variety of tamales, chicken, beef, pork and cheese…A half a block up from tamale lady #2 is another tamale vendor. I was so stuffed at this point that I didn’t even get out of the car to check it out. However, she has some sort of coleslaw with her tamales and three types of sauce…It is always surprising to me the food that can be found only early in the morning, the vendors vanishing like the dew once the sun rises in the sky. I have to get up early more…or stay up later.

POPSFogo De Chao Churrasacaria a Fogo De Chao is opening up in Minneapolis (in the old Copeland's Space in City Center)....my thought is that it could be either very good or a train wreck?!? Whenever "all you can eat" is involved you attract a certain element that can quickly turn a nice place into a trough for slopping pigs....however...If it is priced to provide appreciable quality rather than quality, it becomes more about sampling variety than seeing how much you can stuff in your gut to get the most bang for your buck. I love buffet concepts because it does allow you to sample SMALL portions to learn what you like, to try new things and simply to have what looks good & fits your mood. Has anyone been to one of these? Good, bad, mediocre? And What's the general price range for lunch...or dinner? Cocktails or just wine? I am excited to have something new that isn't an olive garden!
