History  
 
Churrasco (choo-ras-koo) is a Brazilian word for Barbeque. It describes a 300 year old culinary tradition that originated in the south of Brazil. In the olden days, "Gauchos" (Southern Brazilian Cowboys) pierced large pieces of meat on skewers and slowly roasted them over pits of open flames. Gauchos would prepare a feast for their families while talking about their adventures on the plains. The roasted meats were brought around to each family, offering the best of the gaucho's herd. They carved meat at each table as a show of skill and festive giving.

Here at Casa De Fogo, we are keeping the tradition alive by selecting choice cuts of meat that are prepared over an open flame and served to your table. Engorge yourself to our sumptuous thirty item salad bar and over a dozen different cuts of beef, chicken, pork, and lamb. So sit back and enjoy the flavors of Casa De Fogo.
