Brazil
Brazilians have a peculiar kind of restaurant called Rodizio. Customers stay seated (unless they want to help themselves with the salad and seafood buffet), and waiters keep going around with large skewers, each with a different kind of meat. No other place in the world boasts such a large variety of good food for such a low price (early 2006, price was around US$15 per person).
All staff are highly skillful, from the maitre d' to the person who prepares the meat to the waiters.
