Fogo De Chao Churrascaria, Philadelphia, PA


I had the pleasure of dining at a Brazilian restaurant in Philadelphia this week.  It features continuous tableside service of fifteen signature cuts of beef, pork, lamb & chicken.  They also offer a sumptuous gourmet salad bar with fresh cut vegetables, imported meats and cheeses and side dishes of polenta and mashed potatoes.  Diners control their service with a small green and red sided chip.  The green side signals the "Gaucho" chefs to bring out skewers of sizzling meats to the table, while the red side indicates a stopping point.  My favorite was the leg of lamb followed closely by the filet mignon and the Picanha which is the prime part of the sirloin.  A gluten free bread made with Yucca was served with meal and it was so soft and airy and delicious.  Great food & great service!
