The restaurant provides an experience of Brazilian barbecue meats grilled over charcoal, sliced by hand at your table, controlled by a green (go) / red (stop) card, plus access to an excellent salad bar and hot food bar. During our introductory visit <a href="https://www.oh-soyummy.com/reviews/texas-de-brazil-churrascaria-brazilian-american-steakhouse-carlsbad-ca">last year</a>, we gorged on their salad bar and meats. This visit, we were able to attend a mixology class for the classic Brazilian drink Caipirinha, get an insider view of their kitchen, then feast once again on their food!

We were recently invited for a full restaurant experience which led us to Carlsbad in north county San Diego. It's one street away from I-5 highway exit Palomar Airport Road. Luckily they have a larger parking lot outside so we were able to park close. By 10am, the place was packed with at least 2-3 parties waiting outside. It got busier as the morning continued.</p> <p><picture title="This place is my jam at Toast Gastrobrunch in Carlsbad" data-picture-mapping="bootstrap_osy" data-picture-group="bootstrap_osy" class="img-responsive"> <!--[if IE 9]><video style="display: none;"><![endif]--> <source srcset="https://oh-soyummy.com/files/styles/picture_normal/public/photos/toast-gastropub-110557.jpeg 1x" media="(min-width: 0px)"></source> <source srcset="https://oh-soyummy.com/files/styles/picture_narrow/public/photos/toast-gastropub-110557.jpeg 1x" media="(min-width: 768px)"></source> <source srcset="https://oh-soyummy.com/files/styles/picture_normal/public/photos/toast-gastropub-110557.jpeg 1x" media="(min-width: 992px)"></source> <source srcset="https://oh-soyummy.com/files/styles/picture_wide/public/photos/toast-gastropub-110557.jpeg 1x" media="(min-width: 1200px)"></source> <!--[if IE 9]></video><![endif]--> <!--[if lt IE 9]> <img data-picture-mapping="bootstrap_osy" data-picture-group="bootstrap_osy" class="img-responsive" src="https://oh-soyummy.com/files/styles/picture_wide/public/photos/toast-gastropub-110557.jpeg" alt="This place is my jam at Toast Gastrobrunch in Carlsbad" title="This place is my jam at Toast Gastrobrunch in Carlsbad" /> <![endif]--> <!--[if !lt IE 9]><!--> <img data-picture-mapping="bootstrap_osy" data-picture-group="bootstrap_osy" class="img-responsive" srcset="https://oh-soyummy.com/files/styles/picture_wide/public/photos/toast-gastropub-110557.jpeg 750w" alt="This place is my jam at Toast Gastrobrunch in Carlsbad" title="This place is my jam at Toast Gastrobrunch in Carlsbad" /> <!-- <![endif]--> </picture></p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-continue-reading field-type-ds field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="https://oh-soyummy.com/toast-gastrobrunch-carlsbad-ca">Continue Reading &rarr;</a> </div></div></div> Tue, 17 Dec 2019 22:00:32 +0000 lynn 2331 at https://oh-soyummy.com A Walk to Remember: National Mall, Memorials and Arlington National Cemetery - Washington, DC https://oh-soyummy.com/reviews/walk-remember-national-mall-memorials-and-arlington-national-cemetery-washington-dc <div class="field field-name-title field-type-ds field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="dc:title"><h2><a href="/reviews/walk-remember-national-mall-memorials-and-arlington-national-cemetery-washington-dc">A Walk to Remember: National Mall, Memorials and Arlington National Cemetery - Washington, DC</a></h2></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-submitted-by field-type-ds field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Submitted by <span class="username" xml:lang="" about="/users/lynn" typeof="sioc:UserAccount" property="foaf:name" datatype="">lynn</span> on 11/23/2019 - 12:59pm.</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>It's been <em>years</em> since I went site-seeing in Washington D.C.
