Brazillian food is as regional and varied as that of the United States; it's a huge country. On previous visits, I had eaten a lot of Southern Brazillian food, particularly churasscaria, the beef overload barbecue restaurants becoming popular in the US. But there's a lot more to Brazil than that, and I personally like spicy food and seafood a lot better than meat. So Marcelo from 4Linux.com took me out to a Bahian restaurant called Templo da Bahia near Avenue Paulista in Sao Paulo.
