Fuegovivo - has anyone been?
How timely. I went to the one on Biscayne on Thursday. I was underwhelmed. I have been to Porcao, Texas de Brazil and Fogo de Chao and like them all better than Fueogvivo. If you are expecting something on that level, you will be disappointed. There were fewer gauchos (the guys who bring the meat around), the meats come around less, and the meat was not as good. For me I don't just go to churrascarias because I can pig out. I go because I enjoy the taste of the food.
And BTW, the service was not as circumspect and on point as Texas de Brazil or Fogo de Chao. The waiter we had was looking like "damn would they hurry up and finish so I can go home." I'll never go back to Fuegovivo. If you've never better to a better churrascaria, you might like it OK. But it seems that every time I try a "new" Brazilian steakhouse outside of the big 3 I mentioned, I get disappointed. No matter what American city I'm in. Perhaps I'll try Chima to see if they are up to snuff.
