DALLAS, Oct. 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The holidays just got more decadent as internationally-renowned Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chão unveils a seasonal menu of new Brazilian-inspired selections to enhance any dining occasion this winter.
“The holidays are the time to celebrate with friends and family, and there is no better way than to gather together and indulge in the decadent offerings we’re serving at Fogo this holiday season,” said Barry McGowan, Chief Executive Officer of Fogo de Chão. “From succulent, grilled Wagyu to spirited cocktails, our new holiday menu enhances our Brazilian cuisine by offering festive items for our guests to treat themselves and loved ones to.”
New holiday menu items include:
- Wagyu New York Strip – The 21 day aged, 20 ounce Wagyu steak is sourced from Kerwee Farm in Australia and is carved tableside on a Himalayan salt block to complement the decadent cut’s intense marbling and buttery texture. The Wagyu Strip enhances Fogo’s Indulgent Cuts menu section, which also includes a Dry-Aged Tomahawk Ribeye and Dry-Aged New York strip, all available to add to the Full Churrasco Experience and share at the table.
- Cauliflower Steak – A vegetarian entrée option seared with parmesan, then served with grilled asparagus, warm lentil quinoa salad and basil sauce.
- Chocolate Brigadero – This new dessert includes rich, truffled chocolate in a decadent chocolate cookie crust and topped with chocolate ganache and sprinkles.
- Carajillo Cocktail – A Brazilian tradition of rich espresso and Licor 43 shaken over ice.

About Fogo de Chão
Fogo de Chão (fogo-dee-shown) is a leading Brazilian steakhouse, or churrascaria, specializing in the centuries-old Southern Brazilian cooking technique of churrasco – the art of roasting high-quality cuts of meats over open flame, all of which are carved tableside by Brazilian-trained gaucho chefs. Founded in Southern Brazil in 1979, there are currently 56 locations throughout Brazil, the United States, Mexico and the Middle East.
Fogo’s distinctive and authentic Brazilian dining experience begins with the seasonal Market Table and Feijoada Bar, which includes seasonal salads, soups, fresh vegetables, imported charcuterie and more. The restaurant features a variety of simply seasoned meats that are fire-roasted by gaucho chefs, plus seafood, desserts, signature cocktails and an award-winning wine list. In addition to the Full Churrasco Experience, Fogo offers its guests multiple ways to enjoy the experience at varying price points, including weekday lunch starting at $15, weekend Brazilian Brunch and a Bar Fogo menu that features smaller, sharable plates, Brazilian-inspired cocktails and happy hour.
