With fall less than a week away Fogo de Chão is welcoming the season with new menu items featuring the traditional harvest vegetables from Brazil. Just in time for autumn, the popular leading Brazilian steakhouse has introduced delicious dishes using fresh seasonal ingredients, such as Butternut Kale and Pear & Endive Salads, as well as a Butternut & Sweet Potato Soup.

All of these new items pair perfectly with the fire-roasted meats carved tableside by Fogo’s talented gaucho chefs, including Picanha, the prized steak of Brazil, or mint-marinated Lamb Chops. In addition, a la carte seafood options such as the Chilled Lobster and Shrimp appetizer can be added on to enhance the dining experience..

From a premium New York Strip to salads and new vegetarian offerings, the seasonal selections are also available on the Market Table and as part of the Full Churrasco Experience at all Fogo locations in the United States and Puerto Rico for a limited time.

“In Southern Brazil, local farmers and families rotate and harvest produce during peak seasonality. Here at Fogo, we embrace that same approach on our Market Table and churrasco grill,” said Barry McGowan, Chief Executive Officer of Fogo de Chao. “We are refreshing our menu to feature the flavors of fall when fruits and vegetables such as butternut squash and pears are at their peak ripeness.”

Fogo’s fall menu selections include:

New York Strip: A premium steak lightly seasoned with rock salt and fire-roasted on the churrasco grill.

Butternut Kale Salad: Roasted butternut squash, fresh kale, chickpeas and feta tossed with honey citrus vinaigrette, and topped with pumpkin and sunflower seeds.

Butternut & Sweet Potato Soup: Roasted butternut squash blended with sweet potatoes and winter spices.

Pear & Endive Salad: Juicy seasonal pears, red and gold endive, blue cheese, candied bacon, lightly mixed with pear vinaigrette.

Roasted Sweet Potatoes: Oven-roasted and miso-glazed sweet potatoes with freshly chopped parsley.

Fogo is firing up the grill with this new fall menu, it’s time to try it yourself. For more information about Fogo de Chão, the new culinary additions or to make dining reservations visit www.fogo.com
