Fogo de Chão Debuts New Fall Seasonal Menu
September 08 2016 - 11:05AM
With the fall harvest upon us, leading Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de
Chão today announced a new seasonal menu that features Market Table
additions, unique craft cocktails and an updated wine list with
expanded selections from South America.
The new offerings from Fogo de Chão highlight
the rich traditions of centuries-old Brazilian culture and cuisine
while integrating the flavors of the fall that complement the
steakhouse’s variety of fire-roasted meats, like the popular
Brazilian picanha, tender lamb chops, and filet mignon.
Additionally, Fogo de Chão has unveiled a new wine list that
prominently features some of the best varietals from unique and
emerging South American wineries and vineyards.
Fogo de Chão fall menu additions include:
- Roasted Butternut Squash Salad – Butternut
squash, a winter staple in Brazil, is roasted with cinnamon and
honey and then tossed with cranberries and feta for a uniquely
autumnal Market Table salad.
- Pear & Endive Salad – Fresh, seasonal
pears join julienned purple endive, crumbled bleu cheese and
candied bacon with pear vinaigrette to round out this
seasonally-inspired salad.
- Butternut & Sweet Potato Soup – Creamy
roasted butternut squash is blended with sweet potatoes and winter
spices in a soup tailor-made to accompany any chilly fall
evening.
- Blackberry Azedo (Portuguese for “sour”) –
Fresh blackberries are muddled with mint and shaken with Hendrick’s
Gin, Crème de Cassis (black currant liqueur), and a house-made lime
sour.
- Whisky Jam Sour – A fresh take on the classic
whiskey sour, Fogo’s version includes premium Monkey Shoulder
Blended Scotch Whisky shaken with raspberry jam, orange bitters,
and a house-made lemon sour.
- A new wine list that features more than 55 South American
labels – from Malbec vintages sourced from renowned Argentinian
producers to rich Cabernet Sauvignons from the Chilean valleys –
each hand-selected to perfectly complement the numerous Brazilian
specialties only found at Fogo de Chão.
“Fall is a perfect time for churrasco. Cooler
temperatures call for fire-roasted meats and rich, robust flavors,”
said Larry Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Fogo de Chão. “To
complement our menu, we’ve created these special seasonal recipes
and introduced new wine offerings that we’re sure our guests will
want to try.”
All Fogo de Chão restaurants have at least one
Certified Level One Sommelier by the Court of Master Sommeliers on
staff. Additionally, the Fogo de Chão wine list has received the
Wine Spectator “Award of Excellence,” which recognizes elite
establishments that feature a well-chosen assortment of quality
wine offerings, along with a thematic match to the menu in both
price and style.
