What is churrascaria?

A churrascaria is a Brazilian steakhouse that specializes in serving various cuts of meat, typically cooked on skewers over an open flame or grill. Diners often enjoy an all-you-can-eat experience, where servers, known as gauchos, bring freshly grilled meats directly to the table. In addition to the meats, churrascarias usually offer a diverse salad bar and side dishes, allowing guests to customize their meal. The concept emphasizes a communal dining experience centered around high-quality, flavorful meats.
