Andrew Huse, Senior Staff PhotographerPeople in Latin American countries tend to dance to the beat of their own drum – a drum that churns out a slow and inconsistent rhythm.
Restaurant dining is never a speedy experience because not worrying about time is ingrained in the culture.
This tradition, taken from the southern hemisphere and transplanted into the United States, is present at the restaurant Brazil by the Bay.
It took an hour for the waitress to even clear away the leftovers from the previous diners, and it took even longer to order, but when the food arrived it was well worth the wait and my taste buds danced the Samba with the delicious Brazilian fare.
On a clear day, the outside tables at Brazil by the Bay are perfect for soaking up a little sun. While the inside ambiance is also nice, it’s the food that really catches a patron’s attention.
The menu offers many options, whether a customer’s trying Brazilian cuisine for the first time or is a regular customer. Either way, a meal can be started off right with one of the delectable appetizers offered.
Coxinhas, which cost $1.95, is shredded chicken with cheese enveloped in a crunchy crust and almost tastes like it has creamy mashed potatoes inside.
