Fogo de Chao-Uptown

Known as a venerable temple for carnivores, this Brazilian based steakhouse chain, which landed its first U.S. location in Addison back in 1997, has just opened a second Dallas spot in Uptown. But this time, it comes loaded with an expansive street-side patio and a super-slick bar offering Brazilian-style nibbles and killer cocktails. Which means you can easily hang out at the bar and make a night of it. But then you'll be missing out on the best part about this place: An all-you-can-eat parade of more than a dozen glorious grilled meats (filet, short rib, sirloin, chicken, lamb and pork) served table-side by bambacho-clad carvers. Not to mention, an unlimited buffet of salads, fruit, cheese, smoked salmon, charcuterie and feijoada. Make sure to leave room for dessert, the papaya cream (fresh papaya blended with vanilla ice cream and topped with black currant liqueur) is insanely delicious.
