This internationally-famous Brazilian steakhouse is finally opening in Kendall
Fogo de Chao is coming to Kendall.
The popular Brazilian steakhouse, famous for serving grilled meats delivered to your table on skewers, will open its third Miami location on Feb. 17. The restaurant, which already has locations in Coral Gables and Miami Beach, will be part of Downtown Dadeland.
The restaurant features a large dining room, with an open churrasco grill as the centerpiece. Diners will get a 360 degree view of the chefs butchering, carving and grilling different cuts of meat, including a bone-in ribeye, lamb chops and the Fogo specialty, picanha, which is the prime part of top sirloin. Other choices are available, too, including chicken, pork and seafood.
The new restaurant will also feature a seasonal Market Table, which is what the brand calls its famous salad bar. Named after the markets of Brazil, the Market Table is way beyond an average salad bar, featuring a rotating offering of specialty salads, seasonal recipes, cheese and charcuterie, smoked salmon and a black bean stew with sausage. Don't want steak? You can easily fill up on what you find at the Market Table.
Fogo de Chao will also have dry-aged meat lockers for in-house aging and private dining areas. There's also a bar, Bar Fogo, where guests can order smaller plates to share and indulge in an all-day happy hour with $10 Brazilian cocktails, $8 for South American wines and $5 beer all day every day (those prices are also good on the patio and in the dining room).
Barry McGowan, the chief executive officer for the brand, which has more than 70 locations throughout Brazil, the United States, Mexico, the UAE and Saudi Arabia, said Fogo is looking forward to feeding a new community and that it plans to collaborate with Feeding South Florida to help with hunger relief.
'At Fogo, we've always been focused on feeding our guests and communities and we've been fortunate to be part of the South Florida community for the past 18 years,' he said in a statement.

Mexico eases trade ban on Brazilian chicken
SAO PAULO (Reuters) -Mexico eased a ban on chicken shipments from Brazil, setting the restriction now only to products coming from the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, instead of a previous countrywide ban, Brazil's Agriculture Ministry said on Tuesday. On the other hand, the ministry said in a statement that Mauritania announced a countrywide ban on imports of Brazilian chicken, while Oman suspended chicken imports coming from Rio Grande do Sul state. Brazil last month identified a case of bird flu on a commercial farm in Rio Grande do Sul, triggering trade restrictions from dozens of countries.

Exclusive-Brazilian businessman Tanure courts banks after hatching Braskem bid with Novonor
By Luciana Magalhaes SAO PAULO (Reuters) -Brazilian businessman Nelson Tanure has begun talks with the banks that will be key to his bid for petrochemical firm Braskem , he told Reuters, as he aims to clinch a deal this year and give oil giant Petrobras a larger role in operations. Braskem is Latin America's largest petrochemical firm, and its controlling shareholder Novonor has been exploring a sale for years as it looks to exit bankruptcy protection and turn the page on a vast corruption scandal. Tanure is the latest bidder trying to unlock a stalemate between Novonor, the banks holding Braskem shares as collateral and state-run Petrobras, which is an influential shareholder and key supplier of the firm. In his first public comments since revealing his Braskem bid last month, Tanure said he began courting engineering group Novonor, formerly known as Odebrecht, after the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company's offer to buy its Braskem stake collapsed over a year ago. "After Adnoc withdrew their offer, I began confidential discussions with (Novonor) in absolute secrecy," Tanure wrote in response to questions. Novonor would remain a shareholder in the proposed deal, Tanure said, with the latest proposal reducing its stake from 38.3% to around 3.5%, adding: "I would not make an agreement if they did not remain involved." Tanure said the deal is still under discussion. Novonor confirmed the talks in May, but declined to comment on details provided by Tanure. During the corruption scandal a decade ago, Novonor used its Braskem stake as collateral for some 15 billion reais ($2.7 billion) in bank loans. The shares' value has fallen with profit margins in petrochemical markets and now covers less than a quarter of that debt. Despite Tanure's progress with Novonor, its creditors view his offer with skepticism as they have their own plans for Braskem, according to two people familiar with the matter. State development bank BNDES and other major banks have proposed pooling the shares pledged as collateral into a private equity fund that would make investments to turn the company around before selling the shares, Reuters reported in November. BNDES President Aloizio Mercadante confirmed talks with Petrobras and other banks to resolve the standoff at the time. On Tuesday, the bank declined to comment on Tanure's competing proposal to Novonor. "The success of this acquisition necessarily depends on alignment with (the banks)," Tanure said, although he pushed back at the idea that the lenders effectively control Braskem. "It's important to clarify that the shares still belong to the Novonor group. They are merely pledged to banks as collateral for loans." The Rio de Janeiro-based businessman, who has a track record of investing in companies undergoing contentious restructuring, is a major shareholder in power firm Light and oil company Prio. If he can clinch the deal for Braskem, Tanure sees a larger role for Petrobras, which has a right of first refusal for Novonor's stake under their shareholder agreement. "I believe their presence in (Braskem's) operations is small and needs to be expanded," Tanure said. "We must acknowledge that Petrobras has seniority and management expertise in oil companies comparable to the best in the world." Petrobras declined to comment. Last week, Petrobras CEO Magda Chambriard said Braskem was a very important asset, but its current management was "not what we want." Asked by Reuters about Tanure's offer, she said: "We can only applaud. We want a solution." Tanure said his ambitions for Braskem include transforming its Camaçari complex in Bahia state into a hub for sustainable innovation and "green" petrochemicals with lower emissions.

Brazil's fiscal package to include higher tax on interest on equity
BRASILIA (Reuters) -Brazil's Finance Minister Fernando Haddad said on Tuesday that the government's new fiscal package includes an increase in the income tax rate levied on so-called interest on equity (JCP) payments to 20% from 15%. JCP is a form of shareholder remuneration that allows companies to deduct such payments from their corporate tax base. Speaking to reporters, Haddad said that the decision to include the measure - previously proposed by the government but not voted on by Congress - came at the request of lawmakers. Haddad also confirmed that the fiscal package includes the unification of income tax rates on financial investments at 17.5%, replacing the current sliding scale of 15% to 22.5%, which varies according to the investment's holding period. The new rate would apply to all investments, including stocks and bonds, except those currently exempt from income levy, which would begin to be taxed at 5%, as Haddad had already disclosed on Sunday. The minister, who spoke after returning from a meeting with President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, said the additional revenue generated by the package would be used primarily to revise the previously imposed financial operation tax (IOF) hike on forfait operations. The IOF decree, which had been introduced to boost public revenues and also raised the tax on private pension funds and some credit and foreign exchange transactions, triggered strong pushback from both Congress and market players, prompting the government to seek an alternative path as lawmakers threatened to overturn the measure. Haddad defended the new fiscal measures on Tuesday, arguing that they are likely to support the strengthening of the Brazilian currency, pave the way for interest rate cuts, and help ensure compliance with this year's and 2026 fiscal targets.
