Winner: Texas de Brazil Churrascaria

Yes, there is a buffet at Texas de Brazil — it’s a salad/cheese/bread bar, really. But it is the moving buffet of all-you-can-eat, any-meat-you-desire carved tableside that tempted readers. Throw in that salad bar with 40 to 60 choices a day, and pricing that starts at under $20 for lunch, and you’ve found a gastronomic gold mine.
