Dinner at Fogo de Chão arrives with a bit of theater. A gaucho chef approaches carrying a skewer of fire-roasted beef, its edges deliciously caramelized from the grill.

That sense of discovery is at the heart of Fogo de Chão in Troy – the only Fogo in Michigan – and it begins with a tradition born thousands of miles away.

General Manager Saif “Safe” Jamal understands the craft from the inside out.

Saif joined Fogo in 2018, starting in the kitchen and learning the restaurant from the butcher block forward. He moved into guest service, studied the front of the house and moved into management. He soon became one of only three members of the Troy team to earn the distinction of Master Gaucho – a recognition requiring mastery of the cuts, butchery, preparation, carving, service and hospitality that define Fogo.

If Jamal embodies the craft behind Fogo, Event Sales Manager Michelle Choice is its spirit.

Once described by a company executive as “the heart of Fogo,” Michelle brings an irrepressible joy and passion for discovery that makes the experience special.

Her appreciation for hospitality began long before Fogo. Raised in Michigan, she initially studied journalism before a college internship at Disney changed her trajectory. There, she discovered the power of hospitality – how seemingly small gestures can transform someone’s experience.
