Meat the Grad

During Jordan’s high school graduation ceremony last weekend, he was used to illustrate the quirkiness of the school and graduating class – a budding herpetologist and president/founder of the “meat club,” his effort to balance out the vegan influences at the school. So it was fitting that we celebrated his graduation with lunch at Espetus, a Brazilian restaurant in SF where waiters dressed in gaucho garb circulate with sword-length skewers bearing different types of meat and poultry: filet mignon, ribs, lamb, prawns, pork with a dusting of parmesan… to chicken hearts. The meat keeps coming until you turn a wheel on the table from green to red. Balancing out the meal is a salad bar with a mountain of guacamole and other slightly healthier treats.
