Here's the latest press release from the folks at Fogo de Chao:

Indianapolis, Ind. (April 24, 2008) - Indianapolis diners will soon enjoy the flavors of Southern Brazil with the Indiana debut of the internationally renowned steakhouse Fogo de Chão (pronounced fō-gō dée shoun). A traditional churrascaria featuring perfectly seasoned meats, authentic gaucho chefs and impeccable service, the restaurant is scheduled to open to the public on May 8, 2008, just in time for Mother's Day and as the city begins welcoming visitors from all over the world for the Indianapolis 500.

Located at 117 E. Washington Street, Fogo de Chão is a new tenant in the structure formerly known as the "Zipper Building," because of its architectural façade, which resembled a zipper. The building has since been completely renovated. As a focal point of the redesign of its space in the building, Fogo de Chão commissioned renowned Fox Studios of Indianapolis to custom design a 12' x 8' stained glass window, incorporating an image of the restaurant's signature fire. The window will be located at the prow of the angled building.

Fogo de Chão will offer diners a prix-fixe menu that features unlimited servings of 15 cuts of sizzling meat roasted over an open flame.

"Though the churrascaria experience may be new for many Indiana diners, we know our superb service and food will warmly welcome them to the culture of southern Brazil," said Jair Coser, Fogo de Chão's chief executive who co-founded the company with his brother Arri in their native Brazil in 1979. "We hope Fogo de Chão contributes to the vitality and energy in downtown Indianapolis."
