Bad ethnic food experience
Before settling down to some quality time at the Reef with JC and DS (my old college roommates), i had some high hopes for the Grille from Ipanema. i've never had their Brazilian food, but the menu looked tasty enough. we ordered the alligator for appetizer, which went down like reconstituted chicken and fish. my entree ended up being chopped chicken, collard greens, and rice. all very greasy.

it's one of those meals that stays with you, and not in a good way. it sits in your stomach; it plays tricks on you. after a while, everything in the Reef started to smell like greasy Brazilian meat to me. the smell hit me again when i walked by my neighbor's door. this food is going to give me nightmares.
