Boston’s Best Brazilian Restaurants | Eater Boston

"Brazilian cuisine abounds, but it’s often overlooked or unrecognized as Brazilian. Take Love Dog Hot Dog Buffet, for example — a canopy-tent dining room that opens at 8 p.m. in Everett. A hot dog here is a boiled, savory treat, basically the antithesis of an água de côco in Ipanema. But it’s every bit as Brazilian. It weighs approximately one água de côco: A 100 percent beef hot dog with everything, the most popular request, includes mayonnaise, sausage, onion, tomato, corn, peas, mashed potatoes, farofa, chicken or meat sauce, ketchup, mustard, potato sticks, and cheese. Order one regular, sliced, or pressed for $8. Note the farofa — toasted Brazilian cassava flour with bacon bits — and bun-free hot dog bowl option."
