Coming down to the end of this great trip, I was asked for my last meal request, and there can only be one response to that - Frango Assado (Roast Chicken). And when it comes to roast chicken there is only one place to go, the Central Churrasco. The are highly recommended as having the freshest chickens and the best side dishes. Arriving at the restaurant, there are two entrances, one for dining in, and the other for take-out. As we entered the front part, I thought we would be in and out quickly, since not all the table weren't quite filled, but then we got to the take out bar, and it was mass chaos, as dozens of people were placing orders and waiting for their orders hot off the grill.
Chickens and ribs are quickly pulled off the grill, cut into pieces, smothered with your choice of gravy, hot sauce or blood, and placed in a to-go container. Many people were ordering 3, 4, 5 or more chickens on each order. We ordered three chickens with salad and, of course, french fries. But these guys are used to such a crowd and we only had to wait about 20 minutes for our order. So how do you cook up and serve a thousand chickens each evening? Let the video speak for itself.
