Went to the Fogo de Chao in Philadelphia with my girlfriend for our 1 year anniversary, best restaurant experience in my life
I used to work at a Fogo de chaò. The employees are treated really well and definitely not overworked. Extremely organized. The waiters have assistants. Is that awesome or what?
Best place best food
I've been to a Brazilian steakhouse once and it was awesome! For any of you reading this that are fans of eating a lot of meat I highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed.
Brazilian here.
It's kind of fun that we translate barbecue into "churrasco", but the process is sooo different. It's really hard to see a glazed meat, an 5 hour smoked steak or even something with sauce, like the barbecue sauce.
Almost every cut is cooked in a really hot charcoal grill with only salt, maybe black pepper.
Both are delicious, but they are really different.
And it's cheaper than the other countries
Awesome, the way they bring the meat to your table almost going to Serenade a song.
@@Prof.Ricardo I went to a restaurant named "Samba" in Vancouver, Canada. It was probably 8 years ago and I think they've since closed.
@@the6ig6adwolf Samba with churrasco in the brazilian culture doesn't make sense lol but outside Brazil no one knows so ok.
My husband and I just celebrated our 30th anniversary at Fogo in Plano, Tx. It was our first time there. The meat was amazing and their grilled cheese drizzled with melted honey was to die for!!!!!!!!!
I like that one. The one over on Beltline in Addison is fantastic; also had a really wonderful time and took a tour with the manager of Texas de Brasil on beltline. Haven’t been back to Texas in a few years…definitely missing the food culture. I’m glad y’all had a great experience.
@@Tonyhouse1168 ... Oh WOW!!! I didn't know that there's another in Addison! We may have to go and check it out!! Thank you for letting me know!!
I had my wedding reception there. It was marvelous. They did a fantastic job catering to us.
Red Yumi budget wise?
@@neshathompson7609 $80 pp, tax, tip everything included. Really worth it.
I proposed to my wife there and they also did an amazing job taking care of us and helping me plan things out. Also, their caipirinhas are soo good
In Dallas Texas it’s 60$ per person
How classy...
As a brazilian, churrasco is the best way to meet friends and have a great meal!
Brazilian steakhouses are incredible.
I love the staff's subtle Brazilian/Portuguese accents, namely how they nasalize the sequences /en/ or /in/ in words. 😎🇧🇷🇵🇹🍻
1:38 unlimited small pieces across a “...three, Four, FIVE hours meal with talking and drinking”
There should be a Brazilian restaurant like this in every major city 👍
this is pretty much how most brazilians treat their sunday lunch routine
One in my state of Kansas. Live 15 minutes away it's so good
@@MrJeanNunes gaúchos do this at home, is part of our culture.
And we have :)
@@efxnews4776 paraenses as well. but with fish instead of meat.
So nice to see some recognition for the Brazilian culture/way of doing our "churrasco"
Thanks man some Brazilians here saying that's not real churrascurria . Meat, fire looks good to me !!!!!
Gaúcho culture
@@sschevmale24 Brazilian talking here. It's not the best churrascaria I ever seen, but still it seems very good and tradicional.
The main thing I feel missing in this place is a good amount of smoke from charcoal. That rotisserie machine makes amost 0 smoke. The smoke really intensifies the flavor.
I have been to Brazil before, LOVED my time there, super nice people and man did I love the food! These places had the best team I had ever had in my life, miss Brazil!
I've been here personally and let me just say.....it's really good. Their meats are insanely good. They have alot of different types as well. Moreover, they have sort of a salad bar that has a mix of Italian meats and cheeses, with grains, pastas, antipasto, pastries, fruits. and so on. It's all good. Even the desserts are fantastic. This place is worth it.
There are two in Nairobi Kenya and the service really is spectacular. I'm glad to be a customer here
Fogo de chão was the best experience I've had about meat in Rio de Janeiro. At first, the price is above most of other places, but the quality and the staff is awesome. Super recommended.
I just tried this place in Minneapolis for my first time earlier this month , It was amazing!! So many meats and other foods I've never tried!! My favorite was the house special! It literally melted in my mouth!! Honestly for the price, It was 100% worth it
Is not anything close to real churrasco in south Brazil this ones are made in an electric grill is not real churrasco.
@@mr.schaeffer5399 Sai fora mano, claro que é, é tão bom quanto, só que lá dependendo do Estado tem legislações que proíbem fogo com carvão em lugares fechados, então tem que usar forno a gás
ive been to this restaurant in vegas, and chicago and they were both two of the best meals ive had in my entire life.
Love Brazilian food 🇧🇷
My wife and I go to Texas de Brazil once a year in our anniversary. It's incredible
@@Prof.Ricardo you have said this over a dozen times under several of the comments. This is a video about a Restaurant in North America. Calm Down......
@@sandra-jones yeah, not only he is anoying he is also wrong
@@Prof.Ricardo sal grosso - rio de janerio
@@Prof.Ricardo True. Even here in Rio I believe Fogo is closed. Sal Grosso and several other steak houses are better
@@Prof.Ricardo Mocellin Steak in Barra da Tijuca
Guys, this video can serve as an invitation for you to visit Brazil! When you guys get here and try our authentic steakhouses, you'll feel like in paradise. I'm really proud of Fogo de Chão and bet you guys will find out much more here! There's much more than Rio and São Paulo to see! 🇧🇷
Os gringos já estão fazendo meme com essa nossa insistência em querer apresentar o Brasil, eu particularmente acho engraçado
@@Pedro96915 eu particularmente chamo de patriotismo, e jamais vou me juntar ao outro lado, que só quer meter o pau em tudo que vem da nossa terra. Os brasileiros têm que parar de ter medo de falar do que é bom, do que valorizamos, do que temos a mostrar ao mundo. Nossa individualidade. E não ficar com esse espírito de vira-lata, achando que tudo aqui é motivo de piada.
É isso aí, irmão !!! Apesar de todos os problemas, nosso país é incrível.
And get robbed, no thanks.
Brazilian barbecue is an art, which is appreciated with flavor and pleasure.
Always tasting a good wine or caipirinha, in a pleasant conversation and the Brazilian flavors that are fantastic, where each specific meat cut, has a unique flavor and texture.
6:12 - Dude is SUPER pissed about being caught on camera!
For reals 😂😂😂😂
Witness protection program. Lol😂😂😂😂
He’s back at 6:57 and still looks pissed haha
@@glizzymcguire3311 hahahahahah
Little Peperoni cause people are just no fun
Brazilian culture is very warm and hospitality is big for us so it’s definitely an experience to go to a Brazilian steak house. When I was a girl in Brazil I remember going to one of these up in the mountains and it was very casual and the swords they had the meat on where huge. Also they carried tons of them in a very crowded restaurant. Dodging and weaving around people and it was incredible. The gaucho culture is kind of like the cowboys or ranchers here. I miss Brazil it’s a great place to go but remember it’s kind of like the Wild West in many places there so there is crime and be aware of your surroundings. It would be smart to go with guides and stay at a reputable resort.
Fogo de Chao is probably my favorite restaurant on this planet. The moment quarantine is over I’m going back
Just went there last week again, still amazing
*_Vegans have left the chat_*
Great! Was wondering why it was so quiet.
How do vegans have kids if they dont eat meat?
Kkkkkkkk
Dog eaters have joined in 🐕🐕🐕🐕
@ Yummy puppy steak. 😍😍
I remember this in my year in Brazil, Fortaleza where I worked as guide. Beautiful meat, so delicious, they came to my table. I am Turkish from origin, so it reminded me of kebab, it was so tasty. I love Brazil and it was so cheap.... I could eat for 5 eur a day long, everything I wanted.
"Its so simple but is too good" como resumir o churras hsuahsushsj
i have never forgotten a great experience in the 1990s in a Brasilian restaurant in Boston, MA, close to the university. It was my first and only time. I still think about it with great emotions. Even though i am not a big meat eater, it was just to die for.
This is an amazing display of workmanship. Someone please publish a paper on work efficiency on this restaurant.
Brazilian steak house runs this way due to efficiency :). A chef invented this style of serving food as he wanted to serve the cstomers quickly as possible. 60 bucks for the buffet which is actually cheap :).
Shan Hussain that’s weird
Do it bro bang it out
Work Efficiency? You mean Brazilian workers...
That's an interesting comment. I am brazilian and I can add that in this kind of restaurant sometimes there are 3 kinds of waiters. It's like 3 levels of hierarchy. Like soldiers, sergeant and lew-tenant. The "soldiers-waiters" are the ones carrying the meat. The meat has to keep moving all the time. When a client wants to talk to a waiter usually is the "sergeant-waiter" who take an order like a regular waiter and the "top level waiter" orchestrate them all. The waiters serving the meet have very specific task. So, the efficiency is related to the fact that to every waiter is assign specific task. It's not an everybody do everything kind of serving tables. They all dress the same but they are not and all the waiters know who is doing what and they talk fast among themselves.
3:26 the guy on the back XD
Nobuyuki, dudes a serious creep.
He exited the stage 🤣
Oppss
He's like that's a documentary, I'm out...😂
"You're not using thermometers, you're not... - No. - poking and prodding at the meat. How do you know when it's the right temperature?" The best answer possible: We know. And as a Brazilian Churrasco lover myself, I can say that It's true. We know.
Hands down my favorite restaurant to dine! I go on my birthday and one other special date in the year. Its meat heaven, if you like a variety of different meats for dinner. Everything is done to perfection from the service to the food.
I was just there this past Saturday ( the one in Alpharetta, Georgia) , for my son's birthday party, can I say enough? FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!
My wife and I dined at the Miami and Boston locations. Both where fantastic. Service was second to none. I would not hesitate to go again. One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had was in Miami location.
"Fogo de chão" onde não tem fogo. KKKKKKK
So for $62/person (Portland) They clearly want you to be there as long as you can be. eat as much as you can, and actually get your money's worth.. That's a place to respect.. and I too love the fact of how he mentioned drinks and conversation.. So pay the cost, hit the salad bar a time or 2. chat with your people while having fresh hot meats come to you for hours.. Most places are like $10-20 per person. all you can eat (within 1hr please)...
that looks soooo good. i will be looking for a brazilian restaurant around houston texas tomorow.
Thats the way we do in brazil. so proud of being brazilian mate
Texas de brazil in Baton Rouge, La is a fantastic restaurant. My first trip I ate everything that passed by just to check it out. The lamb and the skirt steak were absolutely to die for. I walked out way over full. Like, there’s thanksgiving full and then there’s this.
I love that she asks soooo many questions to make sure that we know what is going on and herself too
Excellent food, wonderful service...a great place to go. One hint, though: they have an awesome salad bar, and it’s easy to load your plate with a salad (leaving no rom for the proteins.) Although this may be by design, you can’t help it sometimes because the salad bar is so good...
This house Fogo de Chao is pure greatness. I've been to their place here in Sao Paulo twice, best steakhouse in Brazil. Rodizio is the best way of eating barbecue. The way you can have about any meat is incredible.
In São Paulo, at least for my friends and I, the best is Barbacoa.
6:49 pretty good translation for "mais solto que peido em bombacha"
kkkkkkk
Venancio Zamora HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHHAHHAH
XD
Hahahahahahahaha
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
they have something very similar in edinburgh. without doubt best meal ive had amazing..
There is something admirable about a “good restaurant” providing amazing food and service to customers.
Orgulho de ser gaucha, simpática a gringa de gaúcha
As a southern brazilian I must ask:
Churrasco cooked in an electric grill? What about the freaking charcoal?
Né sjskskskskskskskdkksksdkdkkf aqui no Paraná, pelo menos, é feio na churrasqueira mesmo
Ele tem que servir 1000 cabeça por noite, controlar a temperatura do carvão a noite toda é só pra atrapalhar, e eu tenho ctz que aquela churrasqueira tem lenha pra dar gosto de fumaça
Em New York é proibido ter fogo de carvão ou lenha nos restaurantes. Nem as pizzerias têm forno a lenha. Eles lá são apavorados com risco de incêndio.
Mano, tem gente q faz churrasco em airfryer com um pedacinho de carvão aquecido. Br é Br rapaz, a mlkada improvisa ao extremo.
Churrasco sem fogo a carvão não é churrasco.
that stainless steel kitchen gave me goosebumps. so beautiful
Reminds me of a great time at Fogo de Chao in Portland when I lived there. A fancy restaurant with great food and atmosphere. Nice to reminisce.
Fogo de chão is so good, I’m so glad they did a video over it
Brazilians Churrascarias (steakhouses) ARE THE BEST!!!!
6:12 man's was staring at our souls
I've been to Pogo de Chao in Austin and I loved it! It was cool seeing how the kitchen works.
That would be Fogo de Chão.
The brazilian barbecue is the best in the world. So good! 🤤🇧🇷👏
That look so GOOD. I'm drooling.
Fogo is sooo good and always a great experience!
Loved the only time we fined at a🌷Brazilian Steakhouse. Cannot wait to return. Delicious.
Yay! Fogo de Chão is a very fancy churrascaria-style restaurant even here in Brazil. And, of course as a Brazilian: please, come to Brazil! :D
I never would've guessed this is authentic - does the steak by you look like this video?
yes
@@void157 that was sad when i went to brazil i got very very very bad treat every body just dose not want us just becuz we are arabs so ricest note(we were nice) genarali arabic pepole are nice the brazilans in brazil arent the same in us or even in my country saudi arabia every brazilan out side of brazile i met was so so so so nice but in brazile its diffrint sorry for saying that but beside every thing happened to me in brazile its still nice place and i will go there agine
iTz iBraHimM where did u go in Brasil? Sorry for that
@@itzibrahimm2616 Try visiting Foz do Iguaçu, there is a huge Arabic community there, they are very gentle btw
Oh my - 1000 people in a night is insane. I work in a pretty big restaurant that's part of a small chain (~10 restaurants in total) and if we get 500 people on a Saturday then we'll probably break some sort of company record. We only have about 8 chefs and four bartenders, though. And two of those bartenders do 1-2 days a week. I'm one of the other two that does the rest of the week.
Brazilian barbecue is the best in the world !!!
Nope.
Still can't beat the Carolinas.
🙏✌🤘👍🇧🇷
🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Have you tried Korean BBQ ever?
This is the best ad for Fogo de Chao I've seen. Glad there's one in Puerto Rico!
this kind of restaurants are called "rodízio", there are meat rodízios, sushi rodízios, pizza rodízios, it's a really good way to experiment many kinds of food in the same place
thank you nathalia. have a nice weekend.
Is it just like a place where the servers come around with food for you? Kinda like a cocktail party o.o?
@@Cyrribrae it's a way to explain it, a pizza rodízio serves about 30 different types of pizza and u get slices, how many you want
@@CoelhoNathalia That sounds cool. Wonder why there aren't more of those. Probably costs a lot to hire servers actually..
@@Cyrribrae nah here in brazil they're not so expensive to hire, so in the end a rodizio might cost about 10 us dollars, which is cheap for a north american
I eat Brazilian food once per week ( buffet) plus grill and a fruit drink $20
Fogo de chao is highly recommended!!! love it
YES WE NEED MORE OF THIS SERIES !!!
I've eaten at the one in Chicago. Amazing experience and amazing food.
Looks like a cool spot with some nice juicy steak 😋
David Martinez bruh
@Kuchi Kopi no just dont wanna use my name too many people have that in theirs already, but it doesnt matter what I choose, someone out there is bound to think it's lame no matter what...
I had my wedding reception there. It was marvelous. They did a fantastic job catering to us.
@@redyumi6441 awesome to hear you had a great experience on such an important day! Really cool to hear that.
@@LydiaApril sorry, I posted that comment in the wrong space. Thank you.
Brazilian churrasco: simply the best!!!
I took my wife to Fogo in Providence, R.I yesterday and the experience was awesome! Great staff, great food, and great times. We even reserved a party of 5 for tomorrow’s New Year’s Eve celebration.
It’s a great concept.
I went to a place like this in Auckland where I live. Really beautiful food!
Verdadeira churrascaria brasileira 😍💚
Really great concept. Every level of doneness available for you to try.
Beautiful to see that. Looks like exactly how they do here in Brazil. In other words, looks simple and delicious as it bust be!
Amy Schumer is doing great with this new gig!
That's cool at least Amy is branching out in the other endeavors besides comedy that sucks
She does better in the restaurant than she does with comedy🤣🙊🙉🙈
She lost a lot of weight too!
Theres one of these in Pittsburgh i havent been to this one yet but i hear great things. Might go after work this week
I used to go to the one in Atlanta twice a year. I loved that place, best service, great food, and even though it was $50 a person, it is well worth it.
I love that place!!! Omg such good food, love there all around the world buffet style salad bar!!
Ok I’m hungry now and all I have is corn flakes 😑
I've been to Copa Cobana in Toronto. Similar experience. Great food. Bonus mark for the Brazilian dance performance
You seriously hung up on me?
I remember eating @ the Minneapolis location a few times during my drug dealing partying days. Its very good food!! I also remember sitting there thinking "Damn.. I got about 5 different animals in my stomach."
I can't watch this, oh my gooooooooosh is so gooooooooood. Proud to be brazilian, we have a lot of problems in our country, but I love our people and our food.
30£ for me and my lady plus 2 drinks and I can eat as much as I want , love it
6:12
When you called in sick to work so you could go grab a good steak with your buddy and then a damn camera team rats you out to your boss.
Bravo to the head chef and everybody there,because that is a well established restaurant.
Here in Brazil people love "rodízio" style restaurant. We have rodízio of barbecue, pizza and pasta, japanese food, mexican food. The problem with barbecue rodízio for me is that I dont eat too much and it is quite expensive. For me, its better to go for a steakhouse and pay for a specific cut of meat but I respect what they do. It is not easy.
Brazilian food is amazing good food I love it 😄😄😄
This is, in my opinion, the BEST steakhouse to eat at.
1000 people on a weekend night, all of them served very very well. Pretty sure that's why when Katie says - . . and you don't want that to happen - or - . . that scares me - . . it's this uncomfortable silence from the staff. When you're doing this well in the food business, must be weird going to another restaurant, because what place is going to have the same level of food and professionalism from staff. Each person, taking care of their particular cut of meat, will serve 1000 people. It's just amazing. I do know one person, I think, who could handle this. She doesn't work at a busy place, but 50 people at the hotel bar/grill, she doesn't need to write anything down. In fact, no one who works at this place is allowed to write anything down. But she does that, and has time to remember what a twice a year visitor ordered first time he ate there. It's just cool that you can elevate a restaurant to be WAY beyond what the average food service worker could handle. I would think you need to be top 1 percent and a lot more to work at Fogo de Chao.
Been there and multiple different Brazilian steakhouses and I highly recommend it. Delicious meats and it’s definitely worth the money.
Que delícia isso! Adoro a picanha. Um dia eu gostaria de passar o sul do Brasil experimentar o churrasco lá tbm. Adoro a comida brasileira!
Seph Callaway vai ser bem vindo!🇧🇷
Picanha is the best!!! Amazing
I worked in FOGOS BELGIUM for 3 years.... it was amazing
Fogo de Chão é um absurdo. Bom demais.
I went there almost every month with my family ....before covid that's , and their food is amazing , perfectly cooked steaks and lamb , also friendly and polite server's 10/10 would be back there again after they really have covid vaccine (that actually work).
Is not anything close to real churrasco in south Brazil this ones are made in an electric grill is not real churrasco.

We got to Fogo in D.C. at least once a year, usually around the holidays. Always satisfied.
Love this place!
Alguém percebeu a churrasqueira a gás ? Nós, Gaúchos,raramente usamos. Devem ser normas municipais, proibindo carvão.
Exatamente...
Não pode carvão ...
Porr@! Comer carne brasileira feita na churrasqueira a gás e pagar bem mais caro que aqui no Brasil é melhor comer aqui no Brasil mesmo
Não necessariamente, imagino que seja a logística complicada de se usar carvão só isso.
Em NY nem forno a lenha pode
Não é só nos EUA, no Brasil, em restaurantes é assim estabelecidas por normas sanitárias.
Restaurantes não tem como ser como fazemos em casa, na churrasqueira, tem que ser assim mesmo.
Churrasco brasileiro é muito bom 😋😋🇧🇷🍖🍖
Looks fantastic!
Oh man, I am so glad my gf and I got a chance to eat here before Covid-19!
