Fogo de Chao - Chicago
Brought to Chicago in 2002, this authentic Southern Brazilian churrascaria serves an all-you-can-eat feast featuring 16 cuts of beef, lamb, pork and chicken with traditional Brazilian sides such as pao de queijo (warm cheese bread), crispy hot polenta, garlic mashed potatoes and caramelized bananas.
In 2012, it underwent a $750,000 renovation and expansion, adding private dining rooms, a restyled bar/lounge and an even more elaborate salad bar.
