Assistant General Manager at Avenida Brazil Churrascaria Steakhouse - Stafford, TX, US
Established in 2008.The name Avenida Brazil was inspired by Executive Chef Vanderlei Bernardi, who was born and raised in the South of Brazil. Vanderlei has a deep passion for sharing his Brazilian culture through authentic Southern Brazilian meat grilling styles and famous welcoming Gaucho (cowboy) service to his home in Houston.In Brazil, many cities have a main street named Avenida Brazil. On this street, friends, families, and couples gather to connect and unwind at esteemed restaurants, bars, and gathering places. It was on Chef Vanderlei's hometown in Southern Brazil where he became inspired by the highest quality and dedication the traditional restaurants would put into their steakhouses. Our new name pays homage to Vanderlei's dream of creating an eating experience to match the highest quality authentic steakhouses on Avenida Brazil in Gaucho country.
