OT: Fogo De Chao

has anyone ate here?

this Brazilian steakhouse is literally a meat-lovers paradise. I just looked and see they have locations across the country. Eating here is an experience. Red light means stop bringing me all this meat...Green light means keep the meats coming!




Operating under the unique service concept of espeto corrido, which translates from Portuguese as "continuous service," Fogo de Chão satisfies palates and the desire for something original. Instead of ordering from a traditional menu, Fogo de Chão offers a prix-fixe system where guests can sample the entire menu, or just focus on their favorite items.
The lunch and dinner menu features unlimited servings of 15 different delectable cuts of fire-roasted meats, a sumptuous buffet of gourmet salads and fresh-cut vegetables, and a variety of Brazilian side dishes.
Each guest uses a two-sided disk to control the pace of their meal. The green side signals the Gaucho chefs to bring out skewers of sizzling fire-roasted meats to carve at the table. The red side indicates a stopping point. Turning back to green lets the Gaucho chefs know to start offering the meats again.

Exact same type of place here in McLean that just opened up called Chyma...it's awesome. A unique dining experience and the food is great. That's probably an understatement.

Been there. It's great.

oh yeah, what brought this place to mind is GD's last meal thread.

without putting much thought into it, for my last meal, i'd want a portion of all fifteen meats....and enough liquor for me to guzzle and die from alcohol poisoning afterwards

good stuff...i'm surrounded by 3 churrascarias in a five mile radius...

you gotta watch yourself and not get silly on the salad bar

I ate at a Brazilian Churrascaria once. I had the single-worst smell (both gas and shit) ever in my life. My two friends made me go out in the hall of their hotel room to air out. It was that bad.ope:
