Five Ways to Carioca Your BBQ

Happy Labor Day Weekend! It’s the official last long weekend of summer, and I foresee lots of backyard, rooftop, and bbq time in the days ahead. Add a little Carioca flair to your gathering with these tips:

1) Grill a Picanha: Ask the butcher for a rump cap (keep the fat on). Season with thick sea salt and brush with lots of butter.

2) Serve Caipirinhas: It’s easy, refreshing, delicious, and exotic enough to start a conversation

3) Make a Farofa Side Dish: IYKYK

4) Dress Your Hot Dogs Brazilian Style: Brazilians put weird things on hot dogs like tomato sauce, parmesan cheese, and potato chips... give it a try.

5) Set a fun table: More than what we eat, there is a how. Cariocas like a vibe and setting a table will do the trick. These fun Pineapple Napkin Rings and the Toucan Napkin Set are available in our shop linked in bio.
