All dayparts have different menus, as well as full-service catering and contactless takeaway and delivery choices. Fogo de Cho's founders grew up on a traditional Serra Gaucha farm in Southern Brazil. They learnt to cook in the churrasco grilling tradition, which would later become the story's backbone. In 1975, the founding brothers moved from Rio Grande do Sul to Rio and São Paulo to pursue official churrasqueiro training while also establishing the Fogo concept. This original restaurant, built of wood and tucked in the Porto Alegre countryside, arose out of an obsession with quality, investments in the city's art and culture, and a reverence for the founders' families' heritage. The Fogo concept was transplanted to the United States, with a stateside debut in Dallas, Texas, at the request of devoted American guests. Since then, the restaurant has expanded greatly thanks to a reputation of delicious food and exceptional customer service.
