Fogo de Chao is an amazing Brazilian churrascaria steakhouse. Although they have an amazing salad bar and delicious desserts, it is nothing compared to the meat! Get a card one side is red and one side is green. When you flip the green side up, servers come to your table with meat one a huge knife and cut pieces of meat onto your plate! Choose from the Picanha Steak, Filet Mignon, Beef Ancho, Alcatra, Fraldinha, Costela, Cordeiro, Frango, Costela de Proco, Lombo, and Linguica. Picanha steak (pea-CAN-ya) is a prime cut of top sirloin. It is prepared two ways: a traditional light seasoning and a garlic season version. Beef Ancho (beef AN-cho) is cut from the part of the rib eye. Alcatra (al-CAT-ra) is top top sirloin. Fraldinha (fral-DIN-ya) is the bottom sirloin. Costela (co-STELL-a) is beef ribs. Cordeiro (cor-DAY-roo) is lamb. Frango (FRAHN-go) is chicken. It is prepared two ways: make it either from the leg and slightly marinaded or bacon wrapped chicken breasts. Costela de Proco (co-STELL-a geePO-co) is pork ribs. Lombo (LOM-bo) is pork loin. Linguica (lin-GWEE-sa) is Brazilian-style, cured pork sausage. All these meats are very popular in Brazil. They have specially trained gaucho chef who prepare the meals. I have only been there once but I love it! Fogo de Chao is located on 309 East 3rd Street Austin, Texas.
