Churrasco at Fogo de Chao, Beverly Hills

Fogo de Chao is a Brazilian Churrasco (BBQ). BBQ with the universally accepted meaning of roasting and grilling meats over open flames. Korean also have a BBQ as well as Americans.

Fogo de Chao is an all-you-can-eat smorgasborg where the food comes to you, rather than going to a cafeteria-like counter. Servers – the Gaucho Chefs (cowboy chefs), bring about large skewers with the different meats prepared in different ways. There’s about a dozen or so choices, with beef, pork, chicken, and lamb. The only problem is, which is my problem, not the restaurants, is that the meats come to our tables too fast. And I am coerced into gobbling the food way too fast. Yes, I know, that is my problem. But all the excitement gets me caught up in eating too fast and eating too much. I would only suggest to them that they slow down and rather than come in these large waves of meat.

Anyways. . .its a great experience for large groups. And it is easier to manage when the bill comes.

What to Order: Yes (There’s a Yes or No – if no, why even consider this place) – But I do recommend the Picanha – Garlic Prime Sirloin. The Lombo – Cheese and Pork combination is really tasty.
