Gordo’s
On Friday I took Ademir, Gabriela and Andressa out to lunch
at Gordo’s. They had mentioned that they were tired of the food at Suwannee and
Fresh and that they were used to getting more meat in their diet so I thought
Gordo’s would be a nice change.
Ordering was little difficult because the menu was half
English and half Spanish, but the waiter was very patient and once they
understood that they could pick two sides with their meal they were able to
order. They told me about their families who they miss very much and they
taught me some Portuguese words. Ademir asked me if it is obvious that they do
not speak fluent English, which I thought was funny, but apparently they can’t
really hear the difference in our accents yet.
They loved the food! Andressa was so excited to eat beans
and rice that she said she might cry.
At the end of the meal I noticed that they didn’t tip the
waiter, I tried to explain the concept to them because I know it is different
in many countries, but I don’t think they really understood, so I tipped him
extra, we will have to work on that next time.
Oh, good choice - definitely a place you have to go as an FSU student and when in Tally. I hope they taught you saudades :) It seems like it would go well with your conversation. If not, you will have to ask them about that word!
