I love Brazilian BBQ, but as I've aged I've found that I can't fully enjoy the full all-you-can-eat experience. The Market Table option offered at lunch at Fogo is the perfect solution. For a reasonable price, the option includes unlimited access to the ample salad bar, which offers smoked salmon and cold cuts in addition to salad, fruits and vegetables, plus the traditional Brazilian black bean and pork stew. If one is just a little more hungry, Fogo also offers an affordable add-on of steak, pork, lamb, or chicken. All this is accompanied by the same sides (corn meal sticks, mashed potatoes, Brazilian cheese bread, and fried bananas) included in the full experience. Drinks are also reasonably priced. The service is pleasant and attentive.
