Best Feijoada Completa in Chicago

“Black beans and every cut of pork, stewed to obsidian. Brazil schedules its Saturdays around this pot.”

Feijoada Completa

What the real thing tastes like

Black beans simmered for hours with a full register of pork — smoked ribs, carne seca, sausages, and the traditional odd cuts — until the broth turns glossy obsidian. Served with the complete entourage: rice, collard greens, farofa, and orange slices whose acidity is medical in purpose. Wednesday and Saturday are feijoada days by national consensus.

Reviews plan naps around it — completa is understood as a commitment, not a meal. The orange-slice wisdom gets passed down in review after review, and the bean broth's gloss is the visual by which every kitchen is judged.
