Fogo de Chão Is Coming To Thousand Oaks

THOUSAND OAKS, CA — Brazilian steakhouse chain Fogo de Chão plans to open a location at The Lakes at Thousand Oaks later this year.

The new location marks the chain's ninth in the Los Angeles area, and comes after its Woodland Hills location opened earlier this year.

“For nearly 45 years, Fogo has been introducing authentic Brazilian dining experiences into cities worldwide by giving them culinary discoveries you can’t find at any other restaurant,” CEO Barry McGowan said in a release. “We are thrilled to continue expanding our presence in Southern California and to continue to bring the culinary art of churrasco to the Thousand Oaks community in partnership with the accomplished development team at Caruso.”

The Thousand Oaks location will include a Bar Fogo, dining room and outdoor patio, with a design that reflects the company's recent brand changes, according to the release.

"Dry-aged meat lockers for in-house aging will display indulgent cuts such as a 32 oz. Long bone Tomahawk Ribeye, aged for a minimum of 42 days for rich flavor. Additionally, guests can dine at an open-air churrasco grill while watching gaucho chefs display the culinary art of churrasco as they butcher, prepare and grill cuts of protein over an open flame," reads the release.

The company has not revealed when exactly the Thousand Oaks location will open this year.
