I recently returned to Newark\u2019s Ironbound district, the mecca for all things Portuguese and Brazilian. The area is host to six suburban-sized Seabra’s supermarkets all within walking distance of each other \u2013 the mother lode of Portuguese and Brazilian food cravings! Since I was traveling solo that day, I and my OCD decided to hit every one in order to compare and contrast.<\/p>\n

And it was absolutely worth the exercise, because I struck gold in the form of Brazilian prepared food. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve written here about churrasco, Brazilian style grilled meat; churrascarias often offer rod\u00edzio where waiters parade an assortment of meats impaled on formidable skewers directly to your table. So I was more than pleased to see that a couple of the Seabra\u2019s I visited had continually replenished extended steam tables and refrigerated counters brimming with a diversity of grilled meats, seafood, authentic Brazilian dishes and the best p\u00e3o de queijo I\u2019ve had in a long time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Item by item, I filled my containers, hastily scribbling notes between each addition in order to subsequently identify and further research it.<\/p>\n

I arrived home with my treasures and piled them onto the three plates shown here \u2013 not for serving purposes but so that you could see the sheer variety and abund\u00e2ncia; obviously, there are considerably more than three meals represented here. Everything was delicious and, more important, a fraction of the cost of venturing out to a churrascaria a few times.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nSo it wasn\u2019t quite rod\u00edzio because I had to serve myself, but it was close enough, hence the title of this post. <\/p>\n

And yes, I\u2019m going to do this again. Soon.
