Kansas City is the test market for two new dinner menus and pricing options.
 
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Fogo de Chao launched two new dinner menu options at its Kansas City, Missouri location as the gaucho-style Brazilian steakhouse chain kicked off a test marketing campaign March 15.

 At an invitation-only event commemorating the availability of the new dining options, diners heard from Fogo’s meat experts about the culture and history of the restaurant and the inspiration for the new items and the pricing structure.  

 “With the rollout of two distinct, new dinner menus at new price points available exclusively for diners in the Kansas City market, Fogo can now fit any budget and further embrace the unique culinary wants and needs of each of our guests,” said Josh Wood, field marketing manager at Fogo de Chão.

The first new menu option is the Select Cut, at price range of $29-$32). Customers choose a single meat that will be carved tableside. The choice of meat includes the restaurant’s market table and feijoada bar and Brazilian side dishes.  Any one of the following meat or poultry options are available:  

•    Picanha: Brazilian sirloin steak, lightly seasoned with sea salt and sliced thin

•    Fraldinha: Strongly marbled bottom sirloin steak, carved against the grain for tenderness

•    Leg of Lamb: Fire-roasted until tender, and sliced off the bone (served with mintchurri sauce)

•    Center-cut Pork Chop: Cured and seasoned with Brazilian spices, and thickly sliced off the bone

•    Chicken: Tender citrus-marinated chicken breast, lightly seasoned with Brazilian spices

Steak
 
The new Brazilian Cuts option, priced at $39, includes continuous service of Fogo’s meats opposed to being limited to one kind. Like the Select Cut, the market table, feijoada bar and Brazilian side dishes are included. However, there are more meats to choose from under this option including: 

•    Picanha (Prime part of the Top Sirloin)

•    Alcatra (Top Sirloin)

•    Fraldinha (Bottom Sirloin)

•    Costela de Porco (Pork Ribs)

•    Cordeiro (Leg of Lamb)

•    Bisteca de Porco (Pork Chops)

•    Lombo (Pork)

•    Medalhões com Bacon (Bacon Wrapped Steak)

•    Linguiça (Pork Sausage)

•    Frango (Chicken)

Fogo de Chão also still offers its Full Churrasco Experience ($50.95), which includes   uunlimited tableside service of Fogo’s signature cuts of fire-roasted meat.
