Fogo De Chão Opens In Huntington Station

HUNTINGTON STATION, NY — Fogo De Chão, a Brazilian steakhouse, opened in Walt Whitman Shops in Huntington Station on Monday.

Erick Cienfuegos Alfaro, the restaurant's general manager, cut the ribbon.

Fogo de Chão uses the centuries-old culinary art of churrasco: roasting high-quality, simply-seasoned cuts of meats over an open flame, each butchered and carved tableside by gaucho chefs. The name of the restaurant translates from Portuguese to "ground fire."

The offerings feature authentic Brazilian cuisine from steaks to desserts, as the sweets include chocolate brigadeiro, papaya cream and Brazilian-style flan.

The restaurant's seasonal market table offers fresh salads and soup, exotic fruits, vegetables, imported charcuterie and more. Patrons can also order cocktails and award-winning South American wines during all-day happy hour every day in Bar Fogo or the dining room.

The Huntington Station Fogo de Chão is the second on Long Island behind Carle Place and the fourth in the New York metro area.
