  omg, smackie, i have our next million-dollar venture: open a strip club that features brazilian dancers AND serves brazilian steak (brazilian style).  all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-ogle.  we'd totally corner the bachelor party market... we'd only have to work 2 days a week (fri & sat).  BRILLIANT.

I have a much better work ethic than you think.  If we opened such a place (and we TOTALLY should - we can call it "Sweet-Smackie's Brazilians & Steak House"), I'd work 7 nights a week, no doubt about it.

Great idea...Brazilian steak to go with your Brazilian wax. Sounds hot.

personally, i'd hope to not make it 7 nights a week... a certain someone would wonder what the hell i'd be doing away from home all the time.
 
 oh, something just occurred to me... "uh, honey, remember how we were going to buy some real estate together?  i've got an even better idea..."  yeah, let's how far that conversion goes   :eek:  
 
 luckily this idea is bullet-proof, we'll have no probs attracting external investors.

Smackette is on the hospital rounds today so I haven't heard her thoughts on the idea yet.  She did ask me for some good ideas on how to spend our tax refund.  This is easily the best I've heard yet.
 
 And venerable has already submitted his request to be part of the casting crew.  He wants the job of "before checking the "brazilian" part, better make sure of the "woman" part first."  I can't think of anyone better, not to mention how we're going to get that on a business card.

where would the operation be based?

from a blog posting i made last year after a day of guns, meat, beer, poker, sports, and strippers:
 
 
 
 "Thursday, May 10, 2007
 ...this day reminded me of one of my million dollar ideas, so i thought i would lay it out here so i have a record if anyone tries to steal my idea:
 
 DUDES:  a steakhouse/bbq joint/brewery/sports bar/shooting range/strip club/casino.
 
 i can't see how it could be anything but a huge success.  i want credit (and money) if anyone makes this happen."

good question.  we'd need a big market to tap into, so i'm thinking LA or NYC.  vegas would also be a good location, given that's it a prime bachelor party destination.  we could even add a small casino.

I can't find the exact quote but it reminds me of Bart Simpson's favorite place: the candy-puppy-fireworks store.

[sweetcell]

Bart:      What are you gonna do to me?
 Skinner:   Bart, not all Community Service is gang warfare and  dangerous infection, and to illustrate that point here's where you'll be working. [he points, apparently, to a storefront]
 Bart:      [excited] The Fireworks, Candy, and Puppy dog store?
 Skinner:   No, no, no.  Next to it.
       [Jasper and the crazy old man are sitting outside. Abe comes out]
 Abe:      Settle a bet:  Boil or mole?  [points to it]
 Bart:      [groans]

Ray's

[chaz]

I'm surprised Ruth's Chris hasn't been mentioned yet.  Sure it's a chain, but the one above the circle has great ambiance for a long dinner and I love the way they bring the steaks to the table sizzling in butter.  My choice is ribeye all the way, pretty much wherever I am.

I'm a big fan of The Prime Rib.
 
  Beware the dress code,they're serious about it,but the steak is well worth it!

My vote goes to Blue Point on 13th near PA Ave. NW. The steaks are unforgettable but quite pricey. Also delicious and in a more reasonable price range are the seafood selections. Never had a bad meal there.

i'm all about keeping the money in the city, but for a decent steak, at a price that doesn't set you back 2 years on your student loans, go to either the arlington or silver spring location of ray's.
 
 had dinner there the other night. i love the $19.95 hanger steak. now that's what grilled cow should taste like.
 
 and its locally owned, unlike all the steakhouses in the city.
