PHILADELPHIA, December, 2006 – Fogo de Chão, a churrascaria with locations in São Paulo and Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and six venues in the United States, including Dallas and Beverly Hills, is opening a Philadelphia location, and has selected DAS Architects to design it. Philadelphia’s historic Widener Building, located in the center of the city at Chestnut and Juniper streets near Philadelphia City Hall and the former location of J.E. Caldwell & Co., is the location for Fogo de Chão in Philadelphia. Founded by brothers Jair and Arri Coser, born in Rio Grande do Sul in Southern Brazil, the highly-acclaimed restaurant is centered on the three centuries-old Gaucho culinary tradition, called churrasco, of roasting meats over barbeque pits of open fire. Gaucho chefs at Fogo de Chão (pronounced fo-go dèe shoun) slow roast the meats over open flames, and present them on skewers where they are then carved tableside.
