LUNCH BUNCH
WHERE: CHAMA-GAUCHA
WHEN: THURSDAY, JULY 14
TIME: 11:30 AM
FEE: $2
LIMIT: 40
Chama Gaucha in Downers Grove is a long way from Brazil, but it may be as close as many North American diners will ever get to
savoring the traditional Brazilian steakhouse experience. One meal will demonstrate why this distinctive fare is so popular with diners.

green beans and marinated mushrooms. There’s also several delicatessen-style salads and fresh fruit. Two favorites among the meats that I personally
have sampled were perfectly seasoned lamb chops and a house specialty known as Picanha — a prime cut of medium-rare sirloin. Close contenders were

meat-bearing gaucho chefs. Want seconds (or thirds)? No problem: just keep your disk green side up.
Each meal is accompanied by bite-sized pão de queijo, addictive Parmesan cheese rolls wonderfully crispy outside but amazingly soft and chewy inside. Also
brought to the table were three sides: fried polenta, mashed potatoes and fried banana.
The spacious restaurant comfortably seats 200 at white-linen-covered tables. Lively recorded Brazilian music plays in the background. Chama Gaucha’s
full bar stocks enticing domestic and international wines. Guaranteed to be treated like royalty! It is a second go around for us and so worth the trip.
I PROMISE you won’t be disappointed!!
