Back to Favorite Brazilian Steakhouse FOGO DE CHÃO

Fogo de Chão Serving New Spring Menu 2019

It’s that tasty time of year again when Tinsel & Tine shares what’s new at one of my favorite spots to dine in Center City – Fogo de Chão…

Fogo has introduced seven new menu items using fresh seasonal ingredients, including Pork Picanha (butchered and prepared with the same simple style as traditional Picanha, then carved tableside) and a new spicy Linguica Sausage (pork sausage with red pepper, garlic and fresh onion). Both of these delicious cuts of pork are available as part of the Full Churrasco Experience.

Additional seasonal flavors have also been added to the menu, including:

Carrot & Ginger Soup – Rich in vitamin K, potassium and antioxidants, this vegetarian friendly, gluten-free soup is made with baby carrots and spicy ginger, blended together with fresh herbs and coconut milk

Roasted Cauliflower Salad – An excellent source of vitamins, minerals and fiber, this refreshing salad is made of cauliflower that has been oven-roasted with olive oil, garlic and black pepper, and finished off with scallions and sesame seeds.

Brazilian Kale & Orange Salad – A salad of fresh kale, crunchy red onion and juicy oranges, topped with a citrus-honey vinaigrette.

Crème de Coconut – Freshly-shredded coconut is combined with condensed milk and cream, baked in the oven, then served warm with ice cream and a little lime zest.

Blood Orange Manhattan – Buffalo Trace Bourbon is mixed together with a splash of Carpano Antica, a dash of blood orange and angostura bitters, then served over rocks.

Fogo also unveiled “Eulila,” a red wine blend (Carmenere, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah) specially created exclusively for Fogo by the award-winning winemakers at Viña Vik that pays tribute to Eulila “Selma” Oliveira, Chief Culture Officer of Fogo de Chão. Available by the glass or bottle, the wine blends Carmenere, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah grapes from the Cachapoal Valley in Chile.

About Fogo de Chão (fogo-dee-shown) is a leading Brazilian steakhouse, or churrascaria, specializing in the centuries-old Southern Brazilian cooking technique of churrasco – the art of roasting high-quality cuts of meats over open flame, all of which are carved tableside by Brazilian-trained gaucho chefs. Founded in Southern Brazil in 1979, there are currently 52 locations throughout Brazil, the United States, Mexico and the Middle East.

Fogo’s distinctive and authentic Brazilian dining experience begins with the seasonal Market Table and Feijoada Bar, which includes seasonal salads, soup, fresh vegetables, imported charcuterie and more. The restaurant features a variety of simply seasoned meats that are fire-roasted by gaucho chefs, plus seafood, desserts, signature cocktails and an award-winning wine list. In addition to the full churrasco experience, Fogo offers its guests multiple ways to enjoy the experience at varying price points, including weekday lunch starting at $15, weekend Brazilian Brunch and a Bar Fogo menu that features smaller, sharable plates, Brazilian-inspired cocktails and happy hour.
