I've been to a few Brazilian BBQ restaurants, and each time I leave I'm both regretting how much I've eaten, and loving it. That's where I've learned that I like chicken hearts.
I came to NY all the way from oregon ( my son lives in NY) ..because of this video I chose this place for our big meal outing. Just as amazing as it looks. Hands down one of the best dining experiences I've had. Thank you friend!
@@roverjpbb about 65 dollars not including wine or dessert..but,..the amount of food available you have NO ROOM ..for those! I kid you not, if you have your green card exposed they keep coming with meats so much you cant even take a bite.

I used to go to a Brazillian BBQ here in Seattle. I must say, I really miss that place. It was heaven. I would go for lunch every payday, and come back to work and being absolutely useless. I was not the only one either, even my supervisor partook and was useless afterwards. Meat comas are the best.
"But would we get the same service?" I haven't been to this specific place, but I've been to many similar places, both in Brazil and in America. In the good places I can tell you that yes, this is the standard way that waiters treat guests.
Gotta love brazilian rodízios! Some tips for people that haven't gotten into one (or have little experience): 1. Don't overload your plates with meat! The most deliciousness you get is from the piping hot slices. Take your time to appreciate it. Churrasco is more than a diner option, it's like a ritual for us brazilians. 2. Take care with cheese (some restaurants offer grilled). Since it's salty, it's gonna make you thirsty quick (+making you drinking something) and not able to enjoy the whole experience. 3. Don't overdo the buffet, or appetizers/sides the waiters bring to the table. At some restaurants they'll try to pump a lot of carbohydrate-rich stuff (fried polenta/manioc/french fries, pastéis, etc). Same as above, plus those foods make you saciated quick. 4. Some restaurants offer grilled pineapple (you can always ask for it). Most of the acidity gets nullified by the heat, so all that's left is some great refreshment. Great way to balance through all the fatty meat. 5. Some restaurants reserve special cuts that don't "run" often. This one is trickier since you'll need to be a bit familiar with what that restaurant offers. But you can always ask the waiter for something that you want to try but haven't yet! 6. And least but not last, try a restaurant that grills the meat with real charcoal! The flavour it "prints" into the meat is something unique.
How did it go? I went to one of these in NYC back in the mid-to-late 1990s... my best friend was a rich kid, his father was a very wealthy businessman, and we had a tradition that every year at Christmas, we'd go shopping in NYC and he'd take us to one of the most famous steakhouses in The City. Well one year, he told us, he had a surprise, we were going to a BRAZILIAN steakhouse ... and it's a BUFFET! We were both like ... whaaaaaaaaat? Geeeeeeetttttttt the fucccccccck outta here, can't we go back to The Palm?? He insisted ... and when we got there, it seemed lame .... like a wedding reception hall or something like that, a huge room full of circular tables, as if someone just got married or had a bar mitzvah or something like that. THEN WE GOT THE RED/GREEN COIN, and The Meats started coming .... never in my life have I been so happy to tap out before, it was amazing. Amazing.
Being born and raised in Orange County n.y. , I was blessed to be helped raised by my grandmother whom spent 30 years in Brazil with my grandfather that worked for union carbide,, needless to say it brought teers to my eyes watching you enjoy the blackbeans and rice. I was very lucky to enjoy authentic delish dishes like that for many years of my life. Wonderful to see you enjoying the Brazilian style hedonism that I grew to appreciate as a young man and will forever in the future.😃👍
We brazilians can only be glad to read this. Thanks for the your consideration coming from beatifull OC. You know you and your family are always welcome to come to Brazil once again join us on a brazilian bbq anytime. Cheers.
Had my first Brazilian BBQ on 6/23 in Lincoln, NE with my Wife. Knew what to expect thanks to MIke Chen. A unique dining experience. The meat was amazing. The most unique meat I had was the chicken hearts, and had some of the best roasted lamb I have ever tasted. Had some type of glaze on it where you didn't have the usual after taste. Big thank you to Mike and his Strictly Dumpling channel helping me to broaden my food experiences.
Sorry, you guys don't eat chicken heart commonly there? Its like street food here... I don't knew, i though chicken heart was popular anywhere, so lay from me, hahaha.
I was at one in Atlanta, it's called Fogo De Chao. It is the best meat I have ever eaten. I think it costs 40 to 50 dollars to eat there, but it is for sure worth the money.
I've been to so many fogo is good. Chauma gaucha is the worst I've been to. Texas de Brazil is my favorite, their chimi churi is amazing. If you really want a good steak go across the street from fogo to bones. Its gonna cost more but it's the best steak over ever had and the service is amazing.
Mike, I can't tell you how much I truly enjoy ALL your videos! My lost my late husband in a horrible jet ski accident back in 2009 and he was an amazing Chef who specialized in Asian cuisine. He definitely opened up my eyes and taste buds to a whole new world of amazing flavors and textures! Everytime I watch your videos, I'm reminded of his passion for food through your awesome energy! So thank you for that! I know it will probably never happen but I hope day I might be lucky enough to have the opportunity to treat you to an amazing meal at one of your favorite hot pot/bbq or dim sum spots! I'm planning on making a trip to flushing to try some of the awesome places you have reviewed! Keep doing what you do, you're awesome!
Hi Christina, I am deeply sorry for your loss :-( and I'm glad the videos can remind you of him in some way. For sure, I would love to grab a hotpot with you some time :-)

Hey Mikey! Brazilian here! Here are some cool things to know about Churrascarias/Brazilian Steakhouses: 1 - The variety of meats offered in Churrascarias abroad pales in comparison to the ones we have here in Brazil. We have sometimes around 20/30 varieties of meat (including my favorite: Wild Boar). 2 - I wouldn't reccommend eating "pastéis"(our take on dumplings) at Brazilian Steakhouses (normally it's made of minced old meat). 3 - Also, anything with garlic is pretty much old meat (we're talking about meat that hasn't been able to be served, not dry aging) - So they normally use garlic and/or pineapple as a way to soften the meat that has been sitting in a freezer all day. "Garlic Sirloin" and "Sirloin Roasted with Pineapples" are a big no-no. 4 - I've worked in a churrascaria, as both a cook and a waiter - They'll fill you up with all sorts of cheap cuts (sausage, flank) and hold out on the top sirloin/good stuff. And, if you've been sitting there for a while they'll start bringing you less and less of the good stuff, so, always ask specifically for the Sirloin if you want more. 5 - I don't know if you didn't show or if they didn't have it, but... It's kinda traditional to have chicken heart at churrascarias. I love it so much. Of yeah! They didn't have Farofa? It's really good. 6 - If you ever come to São Paulo, give me a ring - I'll show you some of the best all you can eat buffet in the city. Specially barbecue which you can have a REALLY GOOD one for less than 25 USD That's it! Always a pleasure to se people enjoying the food from Brazil!
I'm brazilian, and to me is very strange to see someone being so impressed with a churrascaria (steak house), because here it's so common. I'm very glad you enjoyed. If you ever come to Brazil, i can guide you through a very cool food tour.
Lol, yes, he put the beans over the spoon with rice, he don't mix the bean with rice, blasphemy! Gringos, don't do that, put the amount of beans you want into the rice plate, mix it, and then eat...
Showing my husband this video to entice him to go to a Brazilian steak BBQ buffet. Ugh! Every single Mike Chen video makes me crave foods I have never had and I love every second of it!
A traditional barbecue here in Brazil must have, besides the meat, rice, yucca flour (farofa), boiled cassava (mandioca cozida) and vinagreitte sauce. My dad also makes some chicken wings marinated in wine (or mustard), garlic and other spices which are AMAZING. edit: I forgot to say that I love to put some lime on the meat. The flavors just mix so well
I'm surprised because i didn't know this kind of restaurant isn't "normal" outside Brazil. I'm brazilian and steakhouses like that are common, We also have the same system on pizza restaurants (You will get pizza forever if you stay green) and sushi too. Every group of young friends already tried to spend a whole day without eating just to save space on the stomach and eat everything they could at night. "Let's prejudice this restaurant only by eating forever". Of course some places will extra charge you if you don't eat everything you asked, just to avoid that kind of brats (ok there are a lot of adults doing this too). If someone want to search about this kind of restaurant, it's called "rodízio". Rodízio of meat, rodízio of pizza, rodízio of sushi...
~veeery good text and share of knowledge, but just a point, you must've said "to harm this restaurant"~. man I was pretty sure that they had this type of service there.
I LOVE Brazilian steakhouses! The black beans they cook with bay leaves. Also the pineapple the ones served in California has cinnamon on top and the two help with digestion as if you're going to any Brazilian Steakhouse.... You're likely going to overeat!
Thank you for this vlog! I'm from the US & attended university in Sao Paulo. Please go, film there and share this incredible experience (churrasco) with wonderful food and people!
Brazilian Steakhouse is my place to go -1st choice. I fist discovered the Rodizio style Churosco in Brazil. When I got back home to the States, I later found out that Fogo de Chao was opening in my city. I have been addicted ever since. The best meal on earth!! Enjoy!
I had never had or even heard of Brazilian bbq until this video but after having a foodgasm watching the food come out melting I tracked down a place that does it locally and it was the best and most fun experience I’ve ever had eating out.
Your genuine excitement and pure joy about food is truly intoxicating man, you are exactly what every cheesy food show host only wishes they could emulate.
I went to an all you can eat Brazilian streak place locally awhile back. It has green and red. But it's a cylinder with yellow in the middle. I decided to turned it sideways to make it represent yellow. One of the meat servers came over and asked if that means speed up. Lol.
Got a chance to go to this steakhouse this past Sunday, it is everything I could ever have hoped for and more! The servers just assault you with meat at every angle, and all of it is incredible! I highly recommend this place!
I am from South Brazil - the Rio Grande do Sul where this type of restaurant is natural. We are called Gaucho (a type of cowboy). In the past, this is the way of barbecue was done by Gauchos in the fields where cattle were raised. I'm so happy you had enjoyed our culture.
Thanks both of you, it was great and the staff was Amazing, I told them what I was doing in my reservations and they gave us a great seat with a view of the fountain outside, and free dessert. They were also so polite. Places like this are great for special occasions, but they’re also great for anytime. And with the menu, it’s really not that unhealthy if you don’t overindulge because you’re eating good fire roasted meat and a couple sides. 👍🏼
UncommonSituations the one in Tampa (safety in case the one up there isn’t run the same) is amazing, the food is cooked to order kind of (it comes as it is on the sword but if you want it any way you can ask and they’ll get it for you but it may take them time to cook it more/carve away more cooked meat) the sides are good as well and the service is great, everyone is super nice and thy understand not everyone gets the idea so they explain it before hand and make sure you’re comfortable , they even say you can flip the “coin” over to red to let the food settle then flip it back over when you’re ready to go again
I feel ya Mike. I went to a Brazillian Steakhouse close to my hometown and the service was spot on!! I loved how each server inputted their personality throughout the meal and it was the best! And it was the exact same thing were they kept coming. There was one instance were one server was waiting on our current one. Great food and experience that was worth the price.
I didn't know you have traditional *BRAZILIAN CHURRASCARIA* ( steakhouse ) in the United States, that is exactly how we have here in Brazil, I've been eating that at least 2 times per week since I was a kid for my entire life. The little secret they do is that they try to stuff you with bread and other stuff like that prior to the meat so that your stomach has little room for the meat, so if you never been to a *BRAZILIAN CHURRASCARIA* remember you are there to eat meat, not the bread, salad or the delicious treats they have at that fancy buffet, eat just a little of that to try it out but save enough room to the main thing which is the meat.
What you call a meat day, we, brazilians, call sunday, almost every sunday is our bbq day, with most of the cuts you have tried out there. specially here in Rio Grande do Sul. We are very proud of our bbq technique and meat-eating culture.
Bro ... You even imagine what a brazilian traditional farm's rustic barbecue is. It is like the grandma food with the fresh juicy meat above the ember becoming like to bless your tongue. If you realy came to here try to taste it. Important detail, each region in Brasil has his own way to do this. Enjoy it!
Man, when you ate rice and beans with the pork sausage and the chicken, you really represented all the brazilians. Most popular and daily dish in São Paulo. Edit: 5 years later, I just noticed that there was no charcoal in the pit, come onnnnnnnnn!
I ate at the Brazilian restaurant in Portland Oregon for my birthday several years ago. I could not believe how much meat there was, it was insane. I loved the meat but also the dessert it was yummy. The fried bananas were so good. Fun time!
My mom is from brazil and my dad is from Correa we moved to America wen I was 8 now I’m 12 and as a Brazilian I love to see people enjoying my culture!!!!❤️❤️
I mean usually these Brazilian joints have the most amazing salad bars which they have so that people can fill up on salads and salad fixins so that they eat less meat. So a vegetarian can easily get their fill at these places. Also they usually have that amazing cheese bread and plus the desserts at these places are also amazing, so vegetarians will be OK honestly.
RoseIsNotAFlower not because u eat meat doesn’t mean ur not gonna live a long healthy life but I respect ur life choices and beliefs good luck on ur vegan journey my friend
Absolutely right. I was in Brazil 1990/91 for work, where I learned about churrasco. If anybody will go to Brazil in the near future, try it. You will find churrascarias everywhere.
Finally eating Brazilian food. But wait until u find out that there’s a lot more options to eat than just the bbq in Brazil. You have to try acarajé and moqueca (Brazilian food from a state called bahia). I am Brazilian loved the video and your faces with the meats. Awesome video. Lol
Everaldo Costa tinha que ter falado isso em inglês pra ele entender. Ahahah né? Eu não sei como nenhum desses vloggers de comida vão ao Brasil e bahia. Tanta comida boa lá. Caldinho de sururu, lambreta... moqueca
Yeah! Hahaha! As a Brazilian who's been watching you for a while, I can say... That's what I've always wanted to see you doing! Eating some great churrasco! And Mike... That was probably expensive in NYC. When you do come to Brazil... It's not only cheaper... But dollars are 3 times our currency, the Brazilian Real (it's pronounced like "Hey I'll"). You're welcome... Hehehe
Douglas von Sohsten já tive a infelicidade de ser passador de carnes em uma churrascaria, poderia dizer muitas coisas à respeito, não concordo com o q ele fez de encher o prato de carne de uma só vêz, vai comer frio ou não vaí querer e a carne vai fora
Claro,comer churrasco brasileiro em nova york é facil,onde só chega a ´´nata´´ da carne.quero ver ele vir comer nas nossas churrascarias brasileiras,aqui no Brasil,onde a maioria das carnes são de péssima qualidade,roubadas,mal armazenadas,assadores despreparados q mal sabem preparar uma costela,ae sim eu queria ver.
This makes me happy to watch someone enjoy my culture so much! Whilst growing up we used to have a little bbq place just round the corner from my grandparents house... Now if I know mum is cooking Brazilian food I will starve myself for a day so I can eat more ahaha. Should definitely go to Brazil and try all the different types of food we have in my country :)
Hey, I missed in your video a very important meat in typical brazilian steakhouses: barbecued chicken hearts! If you've been to a brazilian steakhouse and never seen barbecued chicken hearts going around on those skewers there's something wrong! And here's a tip: those grilled pinapples should be eaten when you are about to get full. If you eat a couple of slices you'll be able then to eat further a few more slices of meat!
Kristian Pasini chicken hearts is a favorite for my girlfriend and I.. it tastes so smokey and amazing!!! She wasnt sure of it until she had a bite and we kept getting it everytime we go for Brazilian bbq ^^
Yes, of course you gotta eat the grilled pineapple only when you get full, the sugar in the pineapple stimulates a type of stomach reflex that expands the stomach. That’s why people say that there’s always room for desert, and maybe a little extras.
as a brazilian it makes me so proud to see people enjoying my culture
culture of meat?
these types of "all you can eat steakhouse buffet" are literally EVERYWHERE in brazil, it's super common
@@MrDevilmor yes? It's not like Americans hasn't spread burguers worlwide

Yup I've been to brazil. I love their bbq chicken rice and noodles and some kind of sauce and crushed peanuts I guess.
First time I heard of a Brazilian steakhouse was from a review. It started like this: "You eat meat until you die." I have been in love ever since.

My friend it's really helpful.
Thanks Bruno.
in the drinks, if you take some soda or a beer it's twice the normal price, than the salt does the trick

It's not available in 95% of the world so it's somewhat an amazing thing.
@@WWE2KUNIVERSEELITE If we had this in Sweden I would have died of a burst stomach a decade back.
My BF is Brazilian and he talked about this. We went to Fogo de Chão in LA, I thought he was joking about endless meat. Boy was I wrong…
It's funny how you eat the meat separate from the other things, in Brazil we eat everything together (rice+beans+fry bananas+MEAT)
Lol, yes, he put the beans over the spoon with rice, he don't mix the bean with rice, blasphemy! Gringos, don't do that, put the amount of beans you want into the rice plate, mix it, and then eat...
@@sophiacristina Let people eat how they want.
@@speedboy6776 No way, eating beans like that is blasphemy and i won't accept...
Because the other flavors turn down the original taste. You gotta try the original state.
It's more expensive in the United States than in Brazil. You don't want to fill up on side dishes when you are spending that much.
From a Brazilian person, watching your videos, I am very very happy that you have enjoyed part of our culture. You will more than welcome in Brazil.
Showing my husband this video to entice him to go to a Brazilian steak BBQ buffet. Ugh! Every single Mike Chen video makes me crave foods I have never had and I love every second of it!
My wife and I went here this past weekend. It was truly outrageous. The food was amazing. All of the staff was super-nice and hospitable.
Picanha is the best!
I really love the food of my country 🇧🇷
You should taste more things.
it is the best. especially the garlic one. I just went to one like this in LA for lunch a few days ago mmm.
I love Picanha
I went to a Brazilian steak house a couple of times and I didn’t know which steak was my favorite 😂😂 it was still very delicious
They dont bring the Picanha around that much. They try to fill you up on cheap sirloin.
@@DefSquadFan its because is one of the hardest ones to make
Ive tried this before but in Seattle, i can tell you that this is the best place for meat lovers😭
Been to the one in Seattle. Excellent!
Always make sure to eat up cus you never know when you get hit with Mike's videos
Mike - 4:07, “ You get meat delivered every single day”
Waiter - “ Sometimes twice a day”
Mike - “ That’s good because I’m here”
Lol
😂
He didn't even flinch 🤣
Mike is a legend.
Lol lol OMG

Why mikey why, how could you do this to me... You're tearing me apart mikey... Best movie everr
A traditional barbecue here in Brazil must have, besides the meat, rice, yucca flour (farofa), boiled cassava (mandioca cozida) and vinagreitte sauce. My dad also makes some chicken wings marinated in wine (or mustard), garlic and other spices which are AMAZING.
edit: I forgot to say that I love to put some lime on the meat. The flavors just mix so well
I'm surprised because i didn't know this kind of restaurant isn't "normal" outside Brazil. I'm brazilian and steakhouses like that are common, We also have the same system on pizza restaurants (You will get pizza forever if you stay green) and sushi too. Every group of young friends already tried to spend a whole day without eating just to save space on the stomach and eat everything they could at night. "Let's prejudice this restaurant only by eating forever". Of course some places will extra charge you if you don't eat everything you asked, just to avoid that kind of brats (ok there are a lot of adults doing this too). If someone want to search about this kind of restaurant, it's called "rodízio". Rodízio of meat, rodízio of pizza, rodízio of sushi...
Também temos aqui muito rodízio em Angola

I LOVE HOW PASSIONATE HE IS BOUT FOOD UGH
I LOVE Brazilian steakhouses! The black beans they cook with bay leaves. Also the pineapple the ones served in California has cinnamon on top and the two help with digestion as if you're going to any Brazilian Steakhouse.... You're likely going to overeat!

😂😂😂🤣👍👍

Thank you for this vlog! I'm from the US & attended university in Sao Paulo. Please go, film there and share this incredible experience (churrasco) with wonderful food and people!
Brazilian Steakhouse is my place to go -1st choice. I fist discovered the Rodizio style Churosco in Brazil. When I got back home to the States, I later found out that Fogo de Chao was opening in my city. I have been addicted ever since. The best meal on earth!! Enjoy!
Churrasco**
I agree
I love how he becomes a poet as more food is involved.

I’ve had some of the most fun I’ve had in my life at Brazilian steakhouses and I’m not ashamed at all
Mikey Chen : He makes bestest food vlog! Period.
I love Brazilian food 😋
I had never had or even heard of Brazilian bbq until this video but after having a foodgasm watching the food come out melting I tracked down a place that does it locally and it was the best and most fun experience I’ve ever had eating out.
I'm glad you liked our bbq haha cheers
You are more than welcome to enjoy our culture 🤣🇧🇷
This is the only way to eat BBQ. I mean, this and whole cow on a stick. Check it up, it's a thing. Boi no rolete
Wait what does a foodgasm feel like
Your genuine excitement and pure joy about food is truly intoxicating man, you are exactly what every cheesy food show host only wishes they could emulate.
That's honestly the best steak heaven I ever came across! Literally praying to visit this place! Very nice review, you are a carnivorous!
Bro, this place seems like heaven on earth for meat eaters man!! I need to rent an apartment right across from this place! 😂
Eat With Mark The Shark! Right!!! It looks so bomb
You will be broke in a week!
$4000 a month for a studio, enjoy
Finally - the restaurant of my dreams!!! :-)
in fact you do not pay for the meat, you pay a certain amount and then you can eat as much as you want for as long as you want except for the drinks
I went to an all you can eat Brazilian streak place locally awhile back. It has green and red. But it's a cylinder with yellow in the middle. I decided to turned it sideways to make it represent yellow. One of the meat servers came over and asked if that means speed up. Lol.
lmao
FOGO DE CHAO 55th street that is the place!!!!! super highly recommended for all meat lovers
Esse gringo não tem fundo não? É o famoso "Quebra Rodízio"!
Roney Duarte ese não gringo... es Chino
Luis Alcalá in brazil people call “gringo” all the foreigners and tourists, no matter if it’s latino, asian. everyone that’s not brazilian are gringos
This is a brizilian
@xamusca naah, se vc ver os videos dele ele explica, ele realmente come quase tudo mesmo. Mais o menos 80% do que ele pega ele come.
@@Bigladd57547 he's asian
Got a chance to go to this steakhouse this past Sunday, it is everything I could ever have hoped for and more! The servers just assault you with meat at every angle, and all of it is incredible! I highly recommend this place!
how much does it cost per head?
$66 per person. Worth every penny.
Calvin Williams what the name of this place again please ?
It's Churrascaria Plataforma
Calvin Williams ONLY 66$?add that to my bucket list
I was so hungry while watching this and all I have are fresh ramen noodles, veggies, chicken, and Korean BBQ sauce.
I️ can’t be the only one that’s feeling like a proud parent seeing Mickey on the trending page!!!
He knew what he signed up for and he was still in shock every time they came with more meat 😂 ... he’s like 😧
pq a gente gosta tanto de ver gringos comendo nossas comidas? hahahaha
Porque mesmo nós mesmos achando o Brasil ruim, ou pelo menos a maioria dos brasileiros, a gente quer passar uma boa imagem pros gringo k
Nem só isso brow, é que a gente reclama mas no fundo sabemos q nosso país e nossa cultura são fodas.
Fetiche Brasileiro kkkkjj
Nos faz lembrar que temos coisas boas. Que o Brasil não é um lugar tão ruim assim
Apesar de tudo, o Brasil tem algumas coisas boas
I am from South Brazil - the Rio Grande do Sul where this type of restaurant is natural. We are called Gaucho (a type of cowboy). In the past, this is the way of barbecue was done by Gauchos in the fields where cattle were raised. I'm so happy you had enjoyed our culture.
Vc falou errado.... Tá tipo "Brasil Sul" sla
@@ellenyukito6326 south Brasil traduz pra sul do Brasil, está certo.
Tampa has a great one called Texas De Brazil , it’s the same concept, it’s great I proposed to my wife there!
I can't think of a better place to propose to a person congratulations
Thanks both of you, it was great and the staff was Amazing, I told them what I was doing in my reservations and they gave us a great seat with a view of the fountain outside, and free dessert. They were also so polite. Places like this are great for special occasions, but they’re also great for anytime. And with the menu, it’s really not that unhealthy if you don’t overindulge because you’re eating good fire roasted meat and a couple sides. 👍🏼
Is it actually good? They're also in Michigan
UncommonSituations the one in Tampa (safety in case the one up there isn’t run the same) is amazing, the food is cooked to order kind of (it comes as it is on the sword but if you want it any way you can ask and they’ll get it for you but it may take them time to cook it more/carve away more cooked meat) the sides are good as well and the service is great, everyone is super nice and thy understand not everyone gets the idea so they explain it before hand and make sure you’re comfortable , they even say you can flip the “coin” over to red to let the food settle then flip it back over when you’re ready to go again
I feel ya Mike. I went to a Brazillian Steakhouse close to my hometown and the service was spot on!! I loved how each server inputted their personality throughout the meal and it was the best! And it was the exact same thing were they kept coming. There was one instance were one server was waiting on our current one. Great food and experience that was worth the price.
I didn't know you have traditional *BRAZILIAN CHURRASCARIA* ( steakhouse ) in the United States, that is exactly how we have here in Brazil, I've been eating that at least 2 times per week since I was a kid for my entire life. The little secret they do is that they try to stuff you with bread and other stuff like that prior to the meat so that your stomach has little room for the meat, so if you never been to a *BRAZILIAN CHURRASCARIA* remember you are there to eat meat, not the bread, salad or the delicious treats they have at that fancy buffet, eat just a little of that to try it out but save enough room to the main thing which is the meat.

Putting select meat on a GAS FIRED ROTISSERIE is a BIG mistake!
Churrasco sem carvão, não é churrasco não!
We have some in Mexico
This is the funniest Mike Chen video I've seen in a long time
Lmao
Mike,I wanna say that YOU ARE THE KING OF THE FOOD WORLD,I would vote you for the President
What you call a meat day, we, brazilians, call sunday, almost every sunday is our bbq day, with most of the cuts you have tried out there. specially here in Rio Grande do Sul. We are very proud of our bbq technique and meat-eating culture.
Bro ...
You even imagine what a brazilian traditional farm's rustic barbecue is.
It is like the grandma food with the fresh juicy meat above the ember becoming like to bless your tongue.
If you realy came to here try to taste it.
Important detail, each region in Brasil has his own way to do this. Enjoy it!
;=
@Roland Tuason Why, are you a fashion model?
My mouth is salivating watching this!
Alec Hamid so came to brazil we have lots of lots of steak houses,and its so gooooood
I wish I had a man who looks at me the way Mikey looks at his food ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Man, when you ate rice and beans with the pork sausage and the chicken, you really represented all the brazilians. Most popular and daily dish in São Paulo.
Edit: 5 years later, I just noticed that there was no charcoal in the pit, come onnnnnnnnn!
I think it's one of the best things that we have in Brazil. I loved your video!
Mike, you SHOULD definitely go to Brazil and experience the real thing!
Definitely going to new york after graduation, just to visit this heavenly place
This is my highschool graduation dinner. Honestly I'm more excited for this then graduating lmao.
Come too Brasil ....
El diablin Vlogs Where do you live? They have Brazilian Steakhouses all over... Fogo de Ciao, Texas de Brazil, Chima, etc

get loads of money too
I ate at the Brazilian restaurant in Portland Oregon for my birthday several years ago. I could not believe how much meat there was, it was insane. I loved the meat but also the dessert it was yummy. The fried bananas were so good. Fun time!
piece of advice: DONT WATCH THIS VIDEO AT MID NIGHT.
Woops...saw this too late.
Too late
Too late :')
Too late my friend
Correction: DON'T WATCH THIS VIDEO IF YOU DON'T HAVE FOOD
When they handed out that red/green card, they should have cautioned Mike, "Remember with great power (or card), comes great responsibility"...
Didn't really think that through before posting it, did you?
Damn I want go there 😭 ,I hate this covid pandemic
My mom is from brazil and my dad is from Correa we moved to America wen I was 8 now I’m 12 and as a Brazilian I love to see people enjoying my culture!!!!❤️❤️
I like watching you eat more than I like to eat!!! You do eating justice!

got my food here, finally I can watch you without being hungry :D
Just Inkaz Me too
Every dinner i try to watch these while eating.
exactly, still I wanted to eat those steaks haha
whyeff21 hahaha me too bruh , it seems like I enjoy it more
i never watch his videos without eating
so this restaurant is like horrible nightmare for a vegan person lol
actually not. I'm vegetarian and we like eating there. Salad bar is awesome and also have lots of food u can ask for on ur table. Good place for both.
William 93 nice to share your experience man
Much thanks
@@18Williametimm another vegetarian here. Can confirm (although the price can sometimes be too much)
I mean usually these Brazilian joints have the most amazing salad bars which they have so that people can fill up on salads and salad fixins so that they eat less meat. So a vegetarian can easily get their fill at these places. Also they usually have that amazing cheese bread and plus the desserts at these places are also amazing, so vegetarians will be OK honestly.
@@wynnhorton1208 you are a vegan lmfao *please don't vote or breed*
Oh and PS meat is *delicious*
i’m brazilian and i like to see people of different countries talking good about us and our culture 🇧🇷
Watching your vids is like torture if you are hungry xD
Galo Galleguez fr me rn
Omg so true😩😭
I agreee!!!!
That's why you have to watch while eating something. Then all you feel is jealousy.
in this case it's worse, if you're Brazilian like me 😥🤤🤤🤤
How can you watch this and still want to be vegan. My mouth in watering.
Kris Hammer 😂😂😂
Right?! 😂😂
Rather livr a long healthy life ;) it does look pretty damn tasty tho.
RoseIsNotAFlower not because u eat meat doesn’t mean ur not gonna live a long healthy life but I respect ur life choices and beliefs good luck on ur vegan journey my friend
Absolutely right. I was in Brazil 1990/91 for work, where I learned about churrasco. If anybody will go to Brazil in the near future, try it. You will find churrascarias everywhere.
Finally eating Brazilian food. But wait until u find out that there’s a lot more options to eat than just the bbq in Brazil. You have to try acarajé and moqueca (Brazilian food from a state called bahia). I am Brazilian loved the video and your faces with the meats. Awesome video. Lol
moqueca é capixaba, o resto é peixada kkkkkkkk
Quando ele cair no plantão das baianas de acarajé, duvido ele não amar. Acarajé é bom demais, pqp.
Everaldo Costa tinha que ter falado isso em inglês pra ele entender. Ahahah né? Eu não sei como nenhum desses vloggers de comida vão ao Brasil e bahia. Tanta comida boa lá. Caldinho de sururu, lambreta... moqueca
Jajajajajajaaj
I wanna try you
I knew it was a bad idea to watch this at 2 in the morning.
Your videos are the best part of my day!
“When I wanna eat my sadness away” 😂
This guy has no inner monologue;)
I've been to Brazilian steakhouse twice and it's like going to heaven for a short while.
É sempre maravilhoso ver a cara de um gringo indo numa churrascaria
Amem hahaha
E viva os gaúchos! 😍
I wander what the cameraman feels like while his eating. This guy is so savage making you hungry everytime you watch his food vlogs
Yeah! Hahaha! As a Brazilian who's been watching you for a while, I can say... That's what I've always wanted to see you doing! Eating some great churrasco! And Mike... That was probably expensive in NYC. When you do come to Brazil... It's not only cheaper... But dollars are 3 times our currency, the Brazilian Real (it's pronounced like "Hey I'll"). You're welcome... Hehehe
"Hae - owl"
Douglas von Sohsten já tive a infelicidade de ser passador de carnes em uma churrascaria, poderia dizer muitas coisas à respeito, não concordo com o q ele fez de encher o prato de carne de uma só vêz, vai comer frio ou não vaí querer e a carne vai fora
Claro,comer churrasco brasileiro em nova york é facil,onde só chega a ´´nata´´ da carne.quero ver ele vir comer nas nossas churrascarias brasileiras,aqui no Brasil,onde a maioria das carnes são de péssima qualidade,roubadas,mal armazenadas,assadores despreparados q mal sabem preparar uma costela,ae sim eu queria ver.
fala isso n cara kkkkk n é toda churrascaria q é assim no Brasil n ... com certeza tem as churrascarias vagabundas mas tem churrascaria fina tb.
Douglas von Sohsten Don't go to Brazil Argentina has the best churrasco
This makes me happy to watch someone enjoy my culture so much! Whilst growing up we used to have a little bbq place just round the corner from my grandparents house... Now if I know mum is cooking Brazilian food I will starve myself for a day so I can eat more ahaha. Should definitely go to Brazil and try all the different types of food we have in my country :)
Hey, I missed in your video a very important meat in typical brazilian steakhouses: barbecued chicken hearts! If you've been to a brazilian steakhouse and never seen barbecued chicken hearts going around on those skewers there's something wrong!
And here's a tip: those grilled pinapples should be eaten when you are about to get full. If you eat a couple of slices you'll be able then to eat further a few more slices of meat!
mmm, yes, so good. plataforma has them. they just didn't make it to his table or the video
VErdade. Tb fiquei esperando
Yesssss Kristian! Great advice. Thanks :)
Kristian Pasini chicken hearts is a favorite for my girlfriend and I.. it tastes so smokey and amazing!!! She wasnt sure of it until she had a bite and we kept getting it everytime we go for Brazilian bbq ^^
Yes, of course you gotta eat the grilled pineapple only when you get full, the sugar in the pineapple stimulates a type of stomach reflex that expands the stomach. That’s why people say that there’s always room for desert, and maybe a little extras.
