Rafain Brazilian Steakhouse, Fort Worth

Over half a century ago, the Rafain family established their first churrascaria near the scenic Iguassu Falls in southern Brazil. But the flavors they grilled up soon became too big for one country, leading the Rafains to eventually pack up their culinary traditions in bubble wrap to transport to the United States. One of the location's of Rafain's Brazilian Steakhouse might've changed, but the restaurant's cooking methods haven't—16 different varieties of meat are still sizzled to perfection over an open charcoal pit, dusted with carefully concocted spice blends, and served tableside on sword-like skewers. Carving-servers offer meaty meals to order, slicing selections such as bacon-wrapped filet mignon and lamb.
