Fogo de Chão is a Brazilian chain of churrascarias, or steakhouses, founded in 1979 in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The restaurant specializes in the traditional gaucho method of churrasco, which involves fire-roasting high-quality meats over an open flame. The founders, who grew up in Brazils Serra Gaúcha region, opened their first restaurant to share this culinary heritage. The company expanded to the U.S. in 1997 and has since grown to approximately 76 locations worldwide, including 59 in the U.S. The dining experience at Fogo de Chão features continuous service, where Gaucho chefs carve skewers of freshly grilled meats at the table. The all-you-can-eat menu includes up to 16 types of meats, along with a market table of salads and traditional Brazilian sides. The restaurant promotes a casual dining atmosphere, welcoming guests to enjoy a cultural Brazilian experience without a formal dress code. Fogo de Chão is committed to sourcing and preparing ingredients with respect for food, reflecting its rich culinary traditions.
