Texas de Brazil is a family owned churrascaria (Brazilian steakhouse) restaurant chain in the United States, Puerto Rico and in the Caribbean. It debuted in October 13, 1998 in Addison, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. The restaurant is a Brazilian-American “churrascaria” or steakhouse that combines the cuisines of Southern Brazil with Texan style meats.[2] Customers turn a piece of paper green side up to get meat ot turn it to the red side to no longer receive meat.
Fare
The meats at this restaurant consist of roasted and seasoned cuts of beef, pork, lamb, chicken and Brazilian sausage. The technique of Brazilian steakhouses like Texas de Brazil is the style in which the meats are cooked over an open flame grill. This technique comes to the United States straight from Southern Brazil, where gauchos dressed as cowboys bring meats individually to tables. Texas de Brazil does not serve chicken hearts, often considered a traditional food found at many other churrascarias.[3][4][5] The restaurant also prepares and serves several types of desserts.
