The Unix philosophy would be to use programs that do one thing well.
In this case 'find' is IMNHO the better model.  The 'find' command is
specifically designed to traverse directory hierarchies in whatever
way that you want and to interface to other utilities easily.

  find . -name FOODIR -prune -o -type f -exec grep PATTERN {} +
