You had me at Brazilian buffet

Sun, May 31, 2:00 AM

From " ¡ ᗯᗩᑎTEᗪ TO ᗪO TᕼᗩT . . . ᒍᑌᔕT ᑎOT ᗩᒪOᑎE ! ! ! ℠ "

4.5

Join me again for another night of dining and mingling. This time, it's back to Pampas Grill in Culver City. It's Brazilian food, cafeteria style: you grab a plate, and choose what you want from the extensive, winding food buffet featuring sweet plantains, black beans, rice, pasta, grilled potato wedges, a plethora of salad and fresh fruit options, desserts, and ending at the grilled meat counter where you can choose from three different kinds of sirloin, two different grilled chickens, lamb, and - if that's not decadent enough - juicy sausages. I know, right? There are a few bars in the area that we could check out after dinner. Not necessarily bar hopping - we can just find one that's not too crowded or noisy where we can hang out and enjoy each others' company a little longer.

If you’re running late, you can post your ETA in the event discussion, but the group may still begin without you. If your plans change, please update your RSVP — it helps us know who to expect on the trail. **Disclaimer & Safety Notice:** Not So Casual Hikes are challenging outings designed for hikers in strong shape who know their limits and show up prepared. Organizers are volunteers—not guides—and cannot be responsible for your pace, navigation, or safety. We hike at a steady pace and the group may spread out. Please be prepared to navigate independently if you fall behind, though we’ll aim to check in at major junctions when possible. By signing up, you accept full responsibility for your fitness, gear, hydration, and navigation, and agree to hold harmless the Organizer, Co-Organizer, Assistant Organizers, and fellow participants for any incidents or injuries. Participation also means you agree to Meetup’s Terms of Service. Hiking carries inherent risks, including trip/fall injuries, bee stings, poison oak, ticks, snakes, coyotes, or mountain lions.
