Amor de familia, the basis of the Brazilian culture, family comes first. Why you ask I speak about this? Located throughout Newark NJ, is a traditional Churrasocaria Restaurants. Churraso, is the Brazilian method for BBQ. In the 16th and 17th centuries Gauchos (Brazilian Cowboys) developed a method of salting and slow cooking meat when they were away from their families for long periods of time. This style stems from the Rio Grande do Sol region of Brazil, and after a slow start, it has adapted to the American pallet, and is spreading like wild fire. Churraso is not just a style of cooking it is a way of life, and such this is the experience you will have when you bring your family to this style eatery.
When you first are seated, it helps to understand that this is a different type of dining experience. You will first be presented with one of the most intricate salad bars you may ever see. With classic meal starters, a variety of cheeses, seafood dishes, and bean salads, this bar will make it easy to find something to wet your whistle. Once you have sampled the variety from the salad bar, you will begin the second portion of your experience; and by now you will have noticed the waiters.
These waiters are serving Rodizio. A service style rooted from southern Brazil, they walk around with skewers of a variety of meat from Chicken wings to filet mignon. When they stop at your table, you have the option to turn your card to either green for go, of red for no. Based upon your card, the server will provide you with as much delicious BBQ you wish. This is not a restaurant you will walk away from hungry, since they will not stop serving you until you have said enough. If you do have room after the main portion of your meal, dessert is an option. I suggest deciding ahead of time if you would like to partake in after dinner sweet treats, since your eyes may be larger than your stomach in this situation.
Churraso is all about enjoying great food, with the company of friends and family. So when you go enjoy the company you bring, take the time to enjoy all of the various dishes they present to you, and chat. Most times you will find live entertainment that comes from tradition, and there is always a soccer game on if a T.V. is present!
In the Newark area, there are several restaurants that offer Rodizio. I suggest Brasilia Grill. Their efforts to give you a taste of the culture are the best I have found. What I find to be most accommodating is their menu selection to accompany the “all-you-can-eat” option. This is great if someone in your family and friends has a limited diet. Located in the Ironbound section of Newark NJ, check it out; it’s bound to satisfy even the biggest appetite.
