📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Churrasco was born from the gaúcho (cowboy) culture of Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil. Beef, chicken, and pork are threaded onto big skewers and slowly grilled over charcoal. It's famous for the rodízio style of restaurant, where cooked meat is sliced to order at the table, and the simple seasoning of coarse salt lets the flavor of the meat come through.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a rodízio churrascaria, servers bring skewer after skewer to the tables and carve the meat right onto guests' plates.
