Utahns now have another option for Brazilian churrasco-style dining.
State of play: The state's first Fogo de Chão, the Brazilian steakhouse known for its all-you-can-eat meats carved right at your table, recently opened near Fashion Place mall in Murray.
- And it's no surprise, given that Portuguese is the third most spoken language in Utah.
Catch up quick: The international chain was founded in Brazil in 1979, and has since launched restaurants in major U.S. cities, Mexico and Dubai.
What I tried: With the exception of an iced coffee, I fasted all day yesterday in anticipation of the "full churrasco experience," starting at $63 per person.
- My favorite cuts were the bone-in ribeye and lamb chops, complemented by sides like the Fogo feijoada (black bean stew) and garlic mashed potatoes.
Kim's thought bubble: I'll always have a soft spot for Tucanos, the Provo-born Brazilian steakhouse of my adolescence, but Fogo de Chão wins on seasoning, ambiance and cocktail variety.
