This billboard for "Bob's Burger's" caught my attention the other day.
The curtain opens and closes... pretty classy advertising for a fast-food burger joint...
I haven't personally eaten at Bob's Burgers, although it is not for lack of trying. It has almost become a joke for Mr. DRL and I - we will be on our way home from somewhere and the "what to have for dinner" question comes up and we say Bob's! Every time - we end up not passing a Bob's.
The new, revamped Bob's in Ipanema looks pretty nice though, for a fast food joint.
Although I have yet to try Bob's out, pregnant and all, I DID however have a fantastic burger in Brazil the other day though... at Outback Steakhouse. Outback is pretty popular here in Brazil. People get dressed up and everything! It cracks me up, however, to find out that many Brazilians refer to it as "Australian food" and will tell you that they like "Australian food"... (based on their love for Outback - which is very much a steak and burgers joint). I am soooo bringing these people some vegemite, and we'll see how their "passion for international cuisine" continues.
Anyway - if you want a really good burger, with a proper pickle and all... Outback. Yeah, I might just be back there again soon. Especially if this baby keeps sticking around! (Today is my ACTUAL due date).
We were at Outback yesterday too (for lunch after a trip to the PF in SL-passport number 3 for my son). I am not a meat eater but I love their salads and the kids menu is good and reasonable.
Take care, I know you are ready to go now! Baby, where are you? VEM!
bjs and HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Oh, forgot to say, the Bob's inside of the Shell station on St. Martin and Bartholomeu Mitre is ok, my boys partake sometimes and always seem to enjoy it. Just be prepared to wait like 10 minutes for your order to go.

And to think Outback was founded by Americans in Clearwater, Florida...
They do a heck of a good job marketing their theme!

Outback has a great steak. I do admit, however, that in a recent review, I may have exaggerated in my analogy, saying that the dining experience there was akin to having sex with a prostitute.
For Burgers, Outback is not bad at all, but I'd rather go to Joe&Leo's at Rio Design.

Bob's is much worse than McDonald's and 90% of the Brazilians will agree. The problem is not the food but the service that it is terrible. ANYTHING you'll ask will take 15 minutes to get ready.
And the best for you and your baby ;D

I love how much attention the burger post gets. I will definitely try Joe & Leo's at some point as this is not the first time I've heard it recommended... I have yet to eat at Bob's. And good to know the history on Outback as well!! haha...
