Ingredient appreciation — what makes Churrasco special

What sets Churrasco apart is the handling of dried shrimp. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the robust and filling result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

feijoada black bean stew is a national dish with African and Portuguese roots. The a Bahian seafood restaurant atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had açaí bowl as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Churrasco is the place to start.
