This is the fourth Mid-Atlantic location for Fogo de Chão, following openings in Baltimore, D.C. and Montgomery County's arch-rival Fairfax County. Moises Lopes will be Head Gaucho Chef and General Manager of this location, and first learned how to cook meats gaucho style growing up on his family's farm in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
The Pike & Rose Fogo de Chão will seat 300 indoors, with additional seating at the bar and outdoors. Founded in 1979, the chain's signature dining experience centers around the roasting of high-quality cuts of meats over open flame, which are then carved tableside by Brazilian-trained gaucho chefs. With a month to go, they are still hiring staff. Applicants for both the front and back of house can visit fogo.com/careers, or call 301-841-9200 for more information.

My fat brother-in-law could put a hurt on that place. Always keep it on green.

Screw you, Tony! I rue the day that Angela married you. But not for much longer...LOL!
I appreciate the openings and closings news!
Fogo is anything but a fancy steakhouse. It's a glorified trough for obese meat eaters. It's embarrassing. Cheesey describes it pretty well. If a Class A downtown building is planning this they better re-plan.
$53.95 for an all you can eat, meat eaters dinner, with a market table salad bar and feijoadaut bar, but no beverages or dessert, seems pretty spendy for most folks. A drink and dessert might be a $70 tab per person. I can imagine that folks paying that amount will want to eat their moneys worth of red meat.
Perhaps a consultation with an in-house cardiologist is part of the price...
