The people at Hilshire Farms put it best ... Go Meat!
If you answer YES to any of the following questions, you need to check out Fogo de Chao.
1. Do you love meat?
2. Do you know what gaucho pants are?
3. Do you love your mother?
Basically this is a place where guys in gaucho pants walk around with various types of yummy meats (filet, chicken wrapped in bacon, lamb, sausage, etc.) on swords. And there's a huge gourmet salad bar with delicious types of meats and cheeses that I've never even seen before. Plus there are caramelized bananas, polenta, garlic mashed potatoes, and warm cheese bread (a.k.a., little balls of delicious goodness).
The concept is easy ... they give you this little coin thing with a green side (go) and a red side (no go). When you want meat, make sure the green side of the coin is up so that the guys with meat swords stop by your table. When you're done (or just need a breather), turn the coin to red.The only downside of Fogo, you ask ... the dessert ... it's just okay, dog.
Bottom Line ... Fogo de Chao - Go Meat!
Seconded!! We went there for the first time a couple of months ago and it was the best meal I'd had in a long time. I highly recommend the lamb, filet, and anything wrapped in bacon. (Everything is better with bacon!)
