Eating at a Real Brazilian Roadside Restaurant | Here's What Happened

Alright guys we are on our way to Lages and haven't felt the need to show you anything on the trip here because it's just raining so raining raining raining but we're gonna stop at a truck stop and I want to share with you uh that truck stop place in that area because something interesting to point to or point out regards to truck stops here in Brazil in comparison to America so in America we have tons of different kind of truck stops like very common the interstate system in America works really well for those that don't know actually the interstate system in America was started by one of the presidents I think it was either after world war one or after world war two to connect the coasts the east coast to the west coast of America the north and south um specifically for military traffic so if there was ever a war they needed to get things across the country in a fast manner so in America the interstate roads are very big many lanes and there's lots of truck stops along the way and people use the truck stops they sleep there they eat food there they fill up gas obviously and so there's one here called Batistela one of many actually between Florianopolis and Lages and we're gonna stop Batistela it's one of the largest ones and they have food they have snacks they have drinks they have coffee they have a store they have all kinds of different things there we're gonna have lunch there today which isn't our norm but that's what we're at we're gonna stop there and so I'm gonna show you guys around there and so uh hopefully the weather gets better this road can be very dangerous also when there's a lot of rain so focusing on driving and uh when we get to this truck stop I will show you guys around guys we have arrived here at Paradoro and beautiful Ford Raptor here great truck so anyway we are here this is the area and it is a look at this it's a luncheonette it is like a bunch of stuff and yeah meeting my father-in-law mother-in-law here for lunch it is the halfway point between Lages and Florianopolis and it's a great little stopping spot they have um they have internet they have food I think it is open 24 hours I can check on that but you can see popular spot for motorcycle people and for other stuff they have a gas station on this side called ALE and right now gas is $6.89 and they have this you know spot here for like little trinkets and little the stops for buses they stop here and have buses so I can show you guys there a little bit later they have all these trinkets and things from the through the bay trinkets and things from the interior they have you know different things that people make oh there's a boy so these uh things that we have in Brazil the the type of cow that we have I'm not sure what it is let me know in the comments guys I always forget it's called a boy but it is uh it's a specific type of of cow and here they have you know these soccer things people from the interior they make all these types of stuff and this is to hold your chimahón and to hold conchinho the chimahons it's to hold your stuff here's the cuñas they use for chimahón and they have them made out of cow's feets as well things to hold your this is for terede the cold version of chimahón or the other type of herb all these different trinkets here all these cuñas is what they call them to hold your chimahón to drink them so very interior style of uh

bathrooms obviously but then they have this luncheonete so this spot here is where you grab bread that's made like by we call it like artisanal bread or basically like a fazenda they make all this bread they have all these snacks obviously American influence with Pringles and whatnot when they have everything else so you go through this line you grab and of course football going but you come

salgado obviously pão de queijo and different kinds of things like that they have all the fried area here there's carne which is meat coxinha chicken hot dog fried hot dog pastel this is like my wife loves pastels it's fried I'm not the biggest fan of pastel if I'm honest what I like is the foliado this is like a I don't know how you describe like a napoleon style of like donut kind of thing they have this one's a foliado and chocolate so it's like kind of like a croissant style flaky and then they have um this one is a salgado so it's a presunto in queijo it's ham and cheese and look at this this is what they describe as a hot dog American hot dog which is not exactly American hot dog but anyway they also have you know all the dulces this is going to be your maracujá um dulce which is cake right so maracujá torta all of that and then they have this is from Portugal I don't remember what it's called what is this called guys help me out in the comments man I always forget stuff when I'm recording videos but this is really good it's something belém now anyway it's like a Portuguese style of thing and then bajuca donuts right classic which not so popular I mean that's popular I guess but not so common and then the ear of the cat you know it's pretty typical pretty classic coffee of course hot chocolate have different style of coffee machines here as well and then you know obviously all of your different drinks and things if you're that nature and all of their snacks and everything else chocolates snickers all of these different kinds of things one of the things that I really miss is you know my the stuff that I grew up with as a kid they obviously don't have all the same snacks all the same things yeah so yeah all right guys so common here in Brazil as well have cachaça people drink cachaça before their meal but I'm going to show you guys around here as usual you're going to have buffet per kilo or livery so it's going to be different prices based off of the uh the amount of food that you grab or you can have all you can eat that so obviously salad this is like a potato salad what we call it in English other types of salad salad salad salad salad salad I'm going to grab some oh that's interesting to have different colored eggs here an interesting way to do that um in Brazil we always have fresh he's showing his canal for me this guy saw me recording and he was like oh let's check it out let's share channels of Instagram and I was like oh yeah great let's do it so here show me his his channel you got a great camera it was like so salami and cashew and I thought those were grapes or grapes and then they have all kinds of different types of sauces here which in Brazil if not as common but this place has all these different kinds of sauces and falafel and I need to use both of my hands here so hang on a second I'm gonna I'm gonna set this up so I can use both of my hands here all right let's continue here so they have their soup they have arroz trapero with pinhão let's grab some of this wonderful this is arroz with pinhão get some of that here I always like pinhão when it's available during the year especially during this time period when it's more common to pinhão but we will hop in here you have your feijão your arroz paçoquinha which is made out of paçoca which is made out of feijão as well feijão no pinhão carne de panela kind of panela it's probably pretty good I'm gonna get batata doce polenta and cajun it looks like and then here is the meat so meat chicken damn I can't even go backwards I'm gonna grab some of this I'm gonna grab some of this chicken so here we go let's see how much this is gonna be and one pound half a kilo it's a lot of food and we'll grab our paçoca and let's go eat hi guys I have my plate here and honestly not much to write home about it is truck stop style food so I mean it's usually you're gonna be gonna be eating on the road like this you're not always gonna have the highest quality of food but the price will be pretty good so you know the convenience of having a place to eat gives you that ability to stop and eat but you just like in America you sacrifice quality for stuff so um chicken's not bad salad's not not too bad but it's just not that the greatest so let me know in the comments if there's any surprises for you in regards to this place you know it's pretty unpacked but it's pretty full compared to in the middle of the night when we're usually passing through here and so uh seems to work but I would love to hear you what you guys think and compare it to where you're from state you live in what country you live in and uh let me know in the comments what you think about this place all right thanks for watching guys as always until next time see you later
