"Feijoada October 24th “Brazilian spots in NYC range from cafes and buffets to all-you-can-eat steakhouses, but there are two things you can find at pretty much all of them - feijoada and, for a solid portion of 2020, me. And after ordering Brazil’s national dish at just about all of the best Brazilian spots in NYC, the version at Berimbau stood out as the best. The various cuts of pork in the slow-simmered bean stew each have drastically different flavors and textures, with pork rib that tastes like it’s been slow-cooked in a smoker, pig ear that has the texture of jerky, pork sausage that adds spice, and pork belly that dissolves as soon as you bite into it. Even bites without any meat give you flashes of a churrasco experience thanks to bacon speckled into the farofa (ground cassava root) that you sprinkle on top.” -Matt Tervooren, Staff Writer" - hannah albertine, nikko duren, hillary reinsberg, arden shore, matt tervooren
