It's a great piece of meat, usually only found in Brazilian restaurants.  I want to give it a go, rotisserie style, but it has been impossible to find.

It looks good. Go over to Mi Pueblo and ask them for it. If they don't know tell them what the cut is and I am pretty sure they will happily cut it for you.  Not like those soacialists at safeway. ;) Keep me posted, I wouldn't mind to try it myself.

I'm actually going over to Mi Pueblo today, they have t-Bones at $4.88/lb.  Hopefully some miss cuts, gets me a few porterhouses instead.   I'll inquire but wont have my hopes up.  I tried to order a suckling pig there, and they were not helpful at all.

I'm surprised they coudn't get you a pig? I paid around six bucks for two t-bones a few weeks back. They were about a half inch thick. They were fresh cut pre-packaged in the cooler.

They can get me a pig, but a big one.  I wanted one in the 20-50lb range max.   Just got back from there, picked up 4 t-bones!!

This is the response I got about cutting me Picanha.

OK Smooth, if you yourself photoshopped that, we're gonna need your services....................

Every time some daffy-ass puts up confusing info on CL or fleabay, we can send this in with an appropriate caption......ex. =  " So, you're telling me that you paid $1300 for this Black Weber Performer ( that says Charbroil on the side) 2 months ago & it's never been used?"
There's probably way better examples, but you get the idea...... 8)

That's funny! ;D Maybe I need to ask them at the one near me. Nothing will stop them from selling meat. I just need to know exactly how to explain the cut to them.
