Carvao BBQ, Jersey City

Carvao is the Portuguese word for charcoal, and it's no coincidence that the charcoal at Carvao BBQ is imported from Brazil. This secret weapon helps imbue beef, chicken, pork, and veggies in plates, bowls, and wraps with the flavors of a Brazilian steakhouse. The drink menu reflects this direction as well, as domestic and imported beers are joined by sangria and caipirinha, Brazil's national cocktail that's made with cachaça sugarcane liquor.
