What is it about Chima Brazilian Steakhouse that brings out the e-crazies?

POSTED: Friday, February 13, 2009, 9:10 PM

When Chima Brazilian Steakhouse first opened in Philly in May 2008, they gave out two-for-one vouchers to people to draw new diners in. To my knowledge, they are no longer offering these. But that hasn't stopped people on Chima's CP restaurant database page from leaving comments requesting that we send them coupons (see below).

Guys:

City Paper is a print and web publication. It is not a Brazilian churrascaria. No one here wears gaucho pants and bolo ties and/or jaunty neckerchiefs. We do not run around with giant metal skewers of beef. We cannot make you a caipirinha. And most importantly, we do not have any Chima two-for-one coupons.

I see here that you can get a $25 gift certificate by registering on Chima's Web site. Please do that so I stop waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat screaming about rodizio meats.

Love,

Drew Lazor, Food Editor

Hey Drew,



City Paper is not listed on the "How did you hear about us" section on Chima's website.  You know the e-crazies!  We'll be signing up in droves, so CP should get the credit.
