I lived in Argentina and never thought their beef was all that special. I ate a lot as everyone wanted to take me their favorite "parilla". I also spent a year in Brazil and went to the original Fogo de Chao in Sao Paulo right before they opened one stateside in Addison back in 98. They invited me to their grand opening event in Addison after finding out I was from that area. They are all pretty good. Some have better salad bars than others, but the meat is about the same at all of the ones I have been to. There are like 20 different ones here in DFW. The "nice" ones in Brazil are something to behold though. The salad bars have lobster, crab legs, oysters, and the desert carts are out of this world. They even bring around special liqueur carts with chocolate shot glasses for after dinner drinks if you can stuff any more into you gullet. I have yet to find one here that is as good as the ones in Sao Paulo.
