Who doesn't like a nice, big, juicy steak? Well, imagine an AYCE (all-you-can-eat) steakhouse where the servers come to the table with knives and a skewer, on which are speared various kinds of quality cuts of meat, most commonly local cuts of beef, pork, chicken and sometimes exotic meats. Leonard is in Heaven!
We've actually eaten at a Brazilian steakhouse before....but NOT in Brazil. Fogo de Chão is a fine dining, full-service Brazilian steakhouse or churrascaria located on the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, MD. We've been there twice....and couldn't wait to actually try the "real deal" in Brazeal! Tonight we were scheduled to eat at Carretao Classic Grill and then go to the theater for a Samba show.
In many restaurants, the diner is provided with a colored card, red on one side and green on the other. Accordingly, the servers will only bring more meat if the card is flipped to the green side. Foods served at a traditional Brazilian steakhouse often include:
- Filet mignon chunks wrapped in bacon
- Turkey chunks wrapped in bacon (these two are usually two-bite sized)
- Sirloin steak (cut semicircular and served in slices)
- Roast beef (served like sirloin steak)
- Rump cover (called picanha in Portuguese)
- Beef short ribs
- Lamb
- Pork ribs
- Chouriço or some other spicy Iberian pork sausage
- Chicken hearts
- Grilled dark-meat chicken
- Grilled pineapple or banana (meant as a palate cleanser between courses)
