"Pampas is one of the most popular stalls at the Original Farmers Market, which means there will be 50-person lines during the weekend lunch rush. That’s definitely not ideal, but the hype will make sense once you lock eyes with the glistening, rotating spits of Brazilian barbecue. Pampas is a “kilo” style spot, so you’re paying by the weight of your plate rather than a set price. It sounds economical until you’re met with a buffet of sweet plantains, feijoada, creamy Brazilian stroganoff, and collard greens sauteed with liberal amounts of garlic. The smoked pork and beef in the feijoada are tender enough to cut with a plastic spoon, and you can pair this hearty stew with salty linguiça and fat-capped picanha." - sylvio martins
