Serious steak

Walking in Sao Paulo I stumbled upon a steakhouse called Dinho's, and couldn't help but take these pictures of their huge dry-aged ribeye steaks.  I must admit that I didn't have the courage of eating one of those (I stuck to the usual picanha cuts, which were excellent).  On my way out I decided to compliment an older gentleman who seemed to be the owner, since he was walking all over the place making sure that everything was running smoothly.  His name is Fuad Zegaib and I learned that he's been the owner of the place for more than 50 years.  The guy could possibly retire comfortably, but he was there, on a Sunday afternoon, greeting patrons, making conversation and making sure that everything was top notch.  One more example of how passion, commitment and hard work are the most reliable paths to success.
