BRIAN'S 100 Best '18

100 BEST ’18: PÃO DE QUEIJO at BRIGADEIRO BAKERY

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2018…

Before you choose one of the cute little Brazilian chocolate truffles known as brigadeiro at Brigadeiro Bakery, don’t miss the savory cheese puff called pão de queijo. Chewy and cheesy, the gluten free yucca-based specialty is not to be overlooked here. It may not be the name of the business, but it’s just as good as the actual brigadeiro. Price: $2
