MORE:                  About Fogo: Fogo de Chão (fogo-dee-shown) is a leading Brazilian steakhouse, or churrascaria,  specializing in the centuries-old Southern Brazilian cooking technique of churrasco – the art of roasting high-quality cuts of meats over open flame, all of which are carved tableside by Brazilian-trained gaucho chefs. Founded in Southern Brazil in 1979, there are currently 52 locations throughout Brazil, the United States, Mexico, and the Middle East. Fogo’s distinctive and authentic Brazilian dining experience begins with the seasonal Market Table and Feijoada Bar, which includes seasonal salads, soup, fresh vegetables, imported charcuterie and more. The restaurant features a variety of simply seasoned meats that are fire-roasted by gaucho chefs, plus seafood, desserts, signature cocktails and an award-winning wine list. In addition to the full churrasco experience, Fogo offers its guests multiple ways to enjoy the experience at varying price points, including weekday lunch starting at $15, weekend Brazilian Brunch and an enhanced Bar Fogo menu that features smaller, sharable plates, Brazilian-inspired cocktails and happy hour. 

About the Foundation:  The Eduardo Escobar Foundation is a 501(c) dedicated to providing support to communities of limited resources in the US and abroad, but primarily in Escobar’s home country of Venezuela. Fundraiser proceeds provide food, school help, and sports supplies to children and families with limited resources.
