    I had eaten at a Brazilian steakhouse once before but it did not prepare me for Fogo De Chao in Rosemount. The Picanha was amazing, the salad bar was out of this world, the lobster tail was magnificent, and the sides were delightful. When I got to desert I was knocked out again by the Chocolate Brigadeiro. It was the best chocolate desert I have ever eaten in my 68 years. I went back for Lunch the following day before I left Chicago so I'd have another chance to have all of those fine dishes yet again. I'll most definitely go again if I end up in Chicago again anytime soon.
