Fogo de Chao ++
I am a big fan of Fogo de Chao and have been since I first ate there over 10 years ago. They have friendly service and lots and lots of great steak.
But I called them today to ask about the menu and they one upped themselves.
My wife has celiacs disease which means that she cannot eat anything with wheat gluten in it. So I called Fogo de Chao to ask what meats she can eat. First I find out that almost all the beef she can eat. That is a good start. Next I find out she can eat the cheese rolls. She is going to do cart wheels for that reason alone. Finally, they said they would make a note with my reservation and specially prepare some lamb, pork and chicken gluten free. Really? My wife isn’t going to eat a whole spit by herself! So ++ to Fogo de Chao.
I would except any high end restaurant to make some accommodations, but if you have seen the big spits of meat they prepare, to have some of them specially prepared for one person seems like a big deal.
