About Us
A unique type of cooking, inspired by the Gauchos was called Churrasco. After digging pits in the ground, the Gauchos would start a fire with wood from the range islands of the Pampas. Once the fore turned to embers large portions of prime meats were skewered and slowly roasted to perfection over the fire pits.
As groups of families would gather for meals, Gauchos would carry bountiful portions of skewered meats, along with fruits and vegetables to the table. Using traditional knives, which Gauchos wore on their belts, they sliced thin and tender pieces of meat. The succulent meats were served continuously to all. In the mid-1900's an enterprising Gaucho had the idea of turning this concept into a restaurant. This Gaucho served many different types of meats to his customers, continuously at their tables. This is called "Rodizio" style meaning all around.
This unique style of preparing and serving food is the tradition of the Brazilian Gaucho. The Churrascaria is now a staple of Brazilian life today - and an experience we would like to share with you in our Churrascaria.
Fogo Do Brazil, meaning 'Fire of Brazil' is proud to offer you the tradition.
Obrigado (Thank You)!
Our Story ...
The story of our Gauchos and our country is as robust as the meal you will enjoy at Fogo Do Brazil.
In the early 1800's European immigrants settles in the Rio Grande do Sul area of Brazil. The fertile, grassy plains were perfect for finding new and better opportunities for their families. The Brazilian settlers were excellent horseman, so they quickly became adept at raising and herding cattle imported from Cabo Verde. The settlers, our ancestors, became known as Gauchos.
The Gauchos were ma strong and proud people who loved the land. In addition to raising cattle and other livestock they famed sweet and fresh vegetables and fruit.
