DALLAS, Oct. 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Internationally renowned Fogo de Chão invites guests to savor the holiday season with mouthwatering new offerings for every celebration. Whether you’re looking to rejoice in long overdue visits with loved ones or skip the stress of cooking this holiday, Fogo de Chão is serving up a number of ways to find joy this holiday season, especially amid the unprecedented challenges experienced this year.
“The holidays are a time to celebrate and cherish life’s simple joys with friends and family – even more so after the extraordinary events and hardships so many have seen this year,” said Barry McGowan, Chief Executive Officer of Fogo de Chao. “When our guests dine with us, either at Fogo or at their home with Fogo To-Go, they can take a step back from the stresses of what this year has brought and rediscover the joy that is unique to the experience of a shared meal.”
Fogo is introducing a new Wagyu Ribeye to its Indulgent Cuts menu alongside the Dry Aged Tomahawk Ribeye and Wagyu New York Strip, which can be added a la carte to elevate any dining experience.

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, soup, 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; a Bar Fogo menu that features smaller, sharable plates, Brazilian-inspired cocktails and happy hour. Fogo now offers an array of catering, takeout and delivery options, including Fogo To-Go, which allow guests to enjoy individual meals, a la carte offerings and ready-to-eat or ready-to-grill Fogo Experience bundles from the comfort of home.
