4C’s Has Lunch, Brazilian Style

by Dawn Christakis

The 4C’s Brazilian Luncheon transported our taste buds straight to Brazil.

Held Dec. 5 Grossman Commons Café, it featured traditional delights, transforming the typical lunch hour into a symphony of flavors, textures, and colors representing Brazil's rich culture. On the menu: shaved Brazilian-style brisket, grilled pineapple with mango, Brazilian chicken with coconut milk, fried plantain, rice, black beans, and, for dessert, Brazilian-style coconut cake.

I thought every dish was delicious, but the Brazilian-style brisket was the standout, and it quickly disappeared. The coconut cake was the perfect dessert, very light and just sweet enough.

Where “free” means “try it all” and seconds are practically mandatory. (Dawn Christakis)
