Fogo de Chao

After Vai Vai performed at the agency, we headed out for some Brazilian barbeque at Fogo de Chao. If you like a good cut of meat, and have never visited a South American churrascaria, you're missing out... Fogo de Chao translates to "fire of the earth," and has become a worldwide hit since launching in Brazil in 1979. It's a barbeque based on the gaucho (cowboy) way of barbequing meat, and features waiters wandering around with meat on spits dispensing slivers of steak to anyone who indicates they want a piece. It's basically an all-you-can-eat steakhouse with tableside rodizio service. Meat overload, but with an extensive salad bar for any vegetarians who happen to come along. We shared a fabulous meal, and retired back to the hotel stuffed full of rare cuts and good red wine... Ahhh...in my experience, the South Americans are unrivaled when it comes to steaks...
