Fogo de Chão, Inc.

Fogo de Chão is an internationally recognized Brazilian chain of rodízio-style steakhouses, known as churrascarias, specializing in Southern Brazilian cuisine. The company's core business revolves around the culinary art of churrasco, which involves fire-roasting high-quality cuts of meat over an open flame. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, Fogo de Chão's mission is "to ignite fire and joy to care for our team, our guests and our communities."

The restaurant's signature offering is the "Full Churrasco Experience," where gaucho chefs continuously carve premium, simply seasoned meats tableside. Complementing this, Fogo de Chão features an abundant Market Table offering seasonal salads, charcuterie, exotic fruits, and superfoods. Beyond the traditional dine-in experience, the company also provides a-la-carte options, a Bar Fogo menu, and off-premise services including takeout, delivery, and full-service catering.

Barry McGowan serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Fogo de Chão. The company was acquired by Bain Capital Private Equity from Rhône Capital in August 2023, marking its return to private ownership after a period of being publicly traded on NASDAQ from 2015 to 2018. Fogo de Chão continues to expand its global footprint, with plans for new locations, and has been recognized as one of America's Favorite Chains, appealing particularly to younger demographics with its experiential dining and strong value proposition.
