A Taste of Rio Grande do Sul

Fogo de Chao offers Houston a taste of Rio Grande do Sul (Southern Brazil). Houston heads South this summer to Fogo de Chao, where this Brazilian Churrascaria offers its country's best-kept secrets to beat the Houston heat. Featuring two of Rio Grande do Sul's (Southern Brazil) best summer specialties, Papaya Cream and the Caipirinha, Fogo de Chao is the perfect Houston spot to enjoy the hot summer days. Fogo de Chao's "cooling" cocktail, Caipirinha, "Little Country Girl," is a sure-fire way to put the sizzle in summer without the heat. A signature drink of Brazil's Carnival, this simple, thirst-quenching combination of tart limes, ice, sugar and Cachaca (Brazilian Sugarcane Liquor) brings a touch of "cool" Brazil to Houston. In addition, Fogo serves THE dessert of Brazil, Papaya Cream. After enjoying the restaurant's Brazilian barbeque, this smooth custard-like dessert is a perfect blend of fresh, ripe mamaos, Brazilian papayas, vanilla ice cream and Creme de Cassis.
