While we all have learned how to be better cooks during shelter-in-place, there is something magic about international food that is hard to replicate.

The name Fogo de Chão means "ground fire" and summarizes the traditional gaúcho method of roasting meats over an open fire. They offer either a "full churrasco experience" which includes continuous servings of fire-roasted beef, lamb and other meats and an extensive buffet, or à la carte service

The founders of Fogo de Chão, Arri and Jair Coser, grew up on a traditional Southern Brazilian farm in the Serra Gaúcha. It is here that they learned to cook in the churrasco grilling tradition. The founding brothers left the countryside of Rio Grande do Sul to Rio and São Paulo for formal training, all while developing the Fogo concept. This first restaurant, built of a wood structure in the countryside of Porto Alegre, followed by a second restaurant in São Paulo. As Arri Coser told São Paulo-based writer, Rafael Tonon, tourists who came to the Sao Paulo restaurant encouraged him to open a churrascaria style restaurant abroad.

The Cosers opened their first U.S. branch in Addison Texas, just north of Dallas in 1997.[4] Between 1997 and 2020, the restaurant continued its expansion globally with 57 restaurants across the US, Brazil, Mexico and the Middle East. The company has plans for further growth around the world.
