Brasil Legal

There are no tables at this small Bucktown-Logan Square store (whose name is slang for "Cool Brazil") specializing in Brazilian imports. But savvy shoppers who call owner Silvana Ramos at least four days in advance can order her feijoada dinners to carry out with them. This South American meat-and-bean stew requires a long simmering time to get the salted beef, pork and Brazilian sausages just right.

The inventory is not large, but expect Brazilian staples such as Guarana soda, pao de queijo (cheesy bread) mix, coffee and sweets. There's also a small selection of Brazilian flag key chains and other souvenirs.
