A Casa do Porco
124 R. Araújo, São Paulo
Janaína and Jefferson Rueda started A Casa do Porco with a mission to revive pork culture in Brazil. They raise the pigs (specifically, Brazilian breeds you can’t find elsewhere). They butcher in-house (and use the entire animal). And they roast their signature San Ze pork on a grill that Jefferson designed himself. This might be the best pork you’ll get anywhere. And the Ruedas want everyone to be a part of it, even if they can’t come in for the whole shebang: There’s a takeout window serving roast pork sandwiches (as well as vegetarian and vegan options) for as little as 15 Brazilian real—less than three US dollars.
