Churrasco Elevated Beyond the Backyard

Every Brazilian thinks they can do churrasco. And most can grill a decent picanha. But there's a world of difference between backyard grilling and a professional churrasqueiro who knows fire management, meat resting, cut selection, and timing across multiple proteins. A personal churrasco chef brings that professional edge to your home.

Think premium dry-aged cuts sourced from specialty butchers, costela that's been cooking since dawn and falls off the bone, artisan linguiça made by hand, and sides that go far beyond the usual farofa — elevated chimichurri, grilled provolone, roasted vegetables, and craft condiments that transform a Sunday churrasco into a gastronomic event.

Best of all, the host finally gets to enjoy the party instead of standing at the grill all day. Whether it's a weekend gathering with friends, a birthday celebration, a corporate event, or a gaúcho-style feast, myChef connects you with churrasqueiros who take churrasco to the next level.

Signature Dishes

  • Costela no Bafo (12-Hour Ribs)

  • Linguiça Artesanal

    House-made or artisan-sourced sausage grilled until the casing snaps and the juices flow — a proper appetizer that sets the tone for what's coming.

    Best for: Opening act while the main cuts cook. Prep level: beginner.

  • Coração de Frango

    Chicken hearts — a uniquely Brazilian churrasco tradition — skewered and grilled quickly over high heat until charred outside and tender inside.

  • Provolone na Brasa

    Thick-cut provolone cheese grilled until golden and melty, served with oregano and chili flakes — the perfect complement between meat courses.

    Beyond basic farofa: gourmet vinagrete, grilled vegetables, pão de alho artesanal, chimichurri with fresh herbs, and queijo coalho — sides that match the quality of the meat.

    Best for: Completing the premium churrasco experience. Prep level: intermediate.

Why Hire a Personal Chef for Churrasco

Fire management is a professional skill

The difference between good and great churrasco is fire control — maintaining the right temperature zones, managing charcoal timing, and knowing when to move each cut. A professional churrasqueiro reads the fire like an instrument.

Premium cuts deserve expert hands

Dry-aged picanha, wagyu-crossed beef, artisan cuts from specialty butchers — these premium meats deserve someone who knows the exact temperature, resting time, and slicing technique to do them justice.

The host becomes a guest

The biggest benefit: you actually enjoy your own party. No more standing at the grill for 4 hours while everyone else relaxes. A personal churrasqueiro handles everything while you sit, drink, and celebrate with your guests.

Elevated sides transform the experience

A professional churrasqueiro doesn't just grill meat — they create a complete experience with sides, sauces, and accompaniments that turn a BBQ into a curated gastronomic event. Farofa becomes artisan farofa, and vinagrete becomes a flavor revelation.

What the Experience Looks Like

  1. Sourcing

    The churrasqueiro sources premium cuts from trusted butchers, selects proper charcoal (hardwood, not briquettes), and prepares marinades and sides in advance.

  2. Fire setup

    Hours before serving, the churrasqueiro starts the fire and begins slow-cooking the costela and larger cuts. The charcoal is managed to create multiple heat zones.

  3. Appetizers

    As guests arrive, quick-cooking items are served first: linguiça, queijo coalho, provolone na brasa, and pão de alho — building anticipation for the main cuts.

  4. Main service

    The star cuts are carved and served in waves: picanha, fraldinha, costela. Each cut is rested properly and sliced at the table, with sides passed family-style.

  5. Wrap-up

    The churrasqueiro manages final cuts, cleans the grill area and kitchen, and ensures everything is spotless. You finish your caipirinha in peace.
