"como no Seu Zé desde que ele atendia na rotunda da Miguel Sutil com a Av dos Trabalhadores...aí ele se mudou por causa da Maravilhosa Obra da Secopa (o VLT que o diga). Depois que se mudou para o Jd. Leblon, continuei frequentando. Moro fora do Brasil há 6 anos, mas toda vez que volto a Cuiabá vou pelo menos umas 3 vezes lá. Imperdível e incomparável o sabor da carne, a gordura do peito bovino dá o toque especial."
