Fogo de Chao Description:
Grilling cowboys, a bounty of fresh salads and well-prepared meat is the reality of Fogo de Chão, the carnivore's palace ensconced in the French Regency building. Blessed with an attractive space that includes floor-to-ceiling walls of wine, striking wood paneling and a dozen sparkling chandeliers dating back to 1913, the setting alone is worth a visit. But for meat-lovers, there's more: 15 cuts of meat prepared by the "gauchos"---grill artists who sear filet, top sirloin, beef and pork ribs and lamp chops---over a custom-made, 500-degree gas rotisserie. The rich, sea salt-studded picanha, a well-marbled cut of top sirloin fragrant with garlic, is a standout. A vast wine list includes a well-priced variety of new-world reds and whites. For dessert, try the papaya crème, a cloud of Brazilian papaya spiked with crème de cassis. You can also opt out of eating meat by making your meal from the sumptuous salad bar.
