You had me at Brazilian buffet

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.
