A Taste of Brazil
Mexican, Chinese, American, and Japanese foods are available in masses. Several chains offer commercialized cuisine to authentic cuisine and everything in between. But what about the other countries? The search for authentic and some of the most amazing food you will ever encounter is over. South America is now in the States in the Brazilian Tucano’s restaurant.
Tucano’s is a Brazilian experience. The menu is of epic proportions, literally. This restaurant starts with a salad bar. But it is not just any salad bar. It includes exotic foods from bamboo to quail eggs. The opposite side of the bar includes hot cuisines with pasta, potatoes, breads, and other side dishes. Once this is finished the real fun begins. Each table comes with a red and green totem that is flipped to the green for go and red for stop. During the green light phase servers carry various kinds of meat table to table. Most meats are skewered and are freshly cut directly onto the plate. Other meats come fresh in bowls to also be served directly onto your plate. When you are full, just flip the totem to red and the servers will stop coming.
Meats include top sirloin, garlic beef, sirloin tip, beef tender, beef brisket, Brazilian sausage, sugar-glazed ham, pork loin, bacon wrapped turkey, cod, chicken hearts, and others. One of Tucano’s specialties is their sugar-glazed pineapple. Vegetable and fruits are also available, not to mention countless exotic desserts.
Tucano’s is a meat experience that is found in only four cities: Provo, Utah; Boise, Idaho; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Salt Lake, Utah. They also cater and offer a free birthday meal when signed up. Tucano’s is an unforgettable experience.
