Choose the TRUE statements from the list below.

There may be more than one answer.

Vegetables are the specialty of this restaurant.

This statement is false. If you considered vegetables as a meat, then it would be true that this restaurant specialized in vegetables. Unfortunately this isn't the case: The specialty of this restaurant is "meat", specifically amazing, delicious, beautiful, flavorful beef from the heart of Brazil. "Meat" is the flesh of animals used for food.

Kevin and Jean have asked for the same meal.

This statement is false. Jean orders the "costela", while Kevin opted for the "rodizio".

The waiter at this restaurant had his appendix removed in the past.

This statement is true. When Kevin tells the waiter that he cannot drink alcohol due to his upcoming medical procedure, the waiter replies that he once "had his appendix removed". The appendix is located in the lower abdomen. It can become inflamed and infected, which is a condition called "appendicitis". Very painful, trust me, I know.

Kevin suggests he shouldn't drink alcohol at this meal for medical reasons.

This statement is true. Kevin informs the waiter that he "isn't sure" that he should drink alcohol before his upcoming eye surgery. He eventually accepts the waiter's offer of a glass of water.
