#fogo $FOGO
"Fogo" (the Portuguese word for fire) most commonly refers to one of three things: a sustainability initiative, a famous steakhouse, or a specific geographic location.
1. FOGO (Waste Management)
In the world of sustainability and local government, FOGO stands for Food Organics and Garden Organics.
What it is: A kerbside collection service (usually a green-lidded bin) that allows you to put food scraps and garden waste in the same bin.
The Goal: To divert organic waste away from landfills, where it would produce methane, and instead turn it into high-quality compost for farms and gardens.
2. Fogo de Chão (The Restaurant)
If you’re looking for a meal, Fogo de Chão is a world-famous Brazilian steakhouse (churrascaria).
The Meaning: The name translates to "fire on the ground," referring to the traditional Gaucho method of roasting meats over an open flame.
The Experience: It is known for its "rodízio" style service, where servers bring various cuts of grilled meat directly to your table to slice.
