You may remember when
Dana told you about the Rodizio Brazilian Steakhouseslated to open in Hillsboro Village in the former location of Faison's, The Trace, T's Tuscan Bar and Grille and Veranda. When I heard the name, I wondered how they were going to get away with using a name similar to
a regional chain. The owners eventually rebranded the restaurant as Bombasha, and after much anticipation among Brazilian ex-pats and fans of abundant grilled meats, they opened last night.
In Portuñol, the mashup language between Spanish and Portuguese, Bombasha refers to the trousers of the gaucho, or cowboy. Waiters dressed as gauchos carve portions of meat from the same skewers on which they were cooked in the churrasqueira. As long as the paper coaster on your table is turned to the green "sim, por favor" side, the meat will keep coming. If you want to cry uncle or just take a break to digest, flip your indicator over to the red "não obridago" face.
