Satisfy a Texas size meat craving at a Brazilian Steakhouse.
In the southern regions of Brazil, South American cowboys, called gauchos, traditionally prepared a feast for their families. A variety of meats were slow roasted over an open pit, and then carved tableside. The array of meats was proudly served with fresh vegetables, and rice and beans. Brazilian Steakhouses are a carnivore's dream. In Texas, the festive experience is celebrated today at several Brazilian steakhouses.
