For those who have spent time in Brazil, it has always seemed strange there is no Brazilian-style grill in Portland. Almost every major city has one, and they tend to be very popular. Also called “churrascaria” (shoo-HOSS-ka-REE-ah), these Brazilian steakhouses are a carnivore’s paradise, paying homage to the institution of the South American Gaucho. Churrasco is the cooking style, which translates from Portuguese to ‘barbecue’, not to be confused with a method of cooking used in the rest of South America known as “asado”.This style of food owes its origins to the centuries-old campfire roasts of the gauchos from the Pampa region of southern Brazil. Servers come to your table with long rotisserie skewers speared with any of a large selection of meat, such as pork loin, tri-tip, strip steak, bacon-wrapped filet mignon, lamb chops, beef short ribs, lamb loin, chorizo, chicken hearts, alligator, prawns, etc. Brazil Grill has over twelve different types available. This is called rodizio service. Portland Foof and Drink – Read More>
