In the words of its Yelp page, "Fogo de Chão is a leading Brazilian steakhouse, or churrascaria, which has specialized in fire-roasting high-quality meats since 1979, utilizing the centuries-old Southern Brazilian cooking technique of churrasco."

At last, North Dallas' 12 Cuts Brazilian Steakhouse, settled at 18010 Dallas Parkway, is another prime choice, with Yelpers giving the fancy Brazilian dining establishment 4.5 stars out of 71 reviews.

"Originally from Brazil, the husband and wife team behind 12 Cuts moved to the United States in 1997 to help debut Fogo de Chão's first American location in Addison, Texas," notes the business in the history section of its Yelp profile. "After over 20 years with the restaurant, Juarez DeConto, in partnership with Dejair Zuliani, decided to create their own version of a churrascaria with a unique twist."

In regards to signature items, "We focus on Brazilian and Argentinian prime cuts of meat, organic salad bar offerings, specialty sides and homemade dessert," its Yelp bio continues. "Open for lunch and dinner daily, 12 Cuts offers guests a traditional churrascaria experience, as well as a la carte options. For a lighter meal, diners can opt for the salad bar only."
