São Caetano do Sul is a small city in São Paulo, Brazil. It has 161 957 habitants in a area of 15 330 km2. Although not being a big or popular city, the place has big food business that became famous during the last year. Due to the pandemic, many restaurants closed and others opened, giving the citizens the opportunity to live new gastronomic experiences. As I am a food lover, I am starting this blog in order to show how much I appreciate and enjoy some restaurants in the city I live nowadays.

I believe the overall tone of my blog will be funny and informational. As it is about food, it will also be a little bit informal as I will give tips that my reader might not like or feel like trying. However, I believe that anyone who is a food lover like me would really like my blog tips and get excited to go to the places I suggest. I expect my voice to be perceived as friendly and happy, as my main objective is to convince my reader to go to the restaurants I wrote about.

Syntax is the arrangement of words in sentences, clauses and phrases, and the study of the formation of the sentences and the relationship of their component parts. In my blog, I tried to arrange the sentences in the easiest way I could so my reader could understand the tips and the language. I believe that organizing the sentences in a simple way will make me closer to my readers and they will feel like they are talking to someone in real life.

Diction is defined as the way in which words are pronounced (like the author’s voice). In my posts, I used diction as I tried to convince my reader to go to the places I suggested. I also tried to sound familiar and friendly, as food tastes are personal. To sum up, I used diction to show informality and to try to get closer to my reader.

Moreover, one of the challenges I found during the process of creating a blog was the creatives blocks I faced. It was really hard to suddenly stop having ideas and felling stuck and lost. However, I tried to do the blog slowly, so I could stop to have a walk and than come back to this task. Furthermore, as it is a food blog, I also worried lots about my readers’ taste, as I don’t know if they will like my suggestions or not. However, I found easy to choose the menu suggestions and to get nice pictures, as the restaurants’ websites are full of them.

Si Señor is typical Tex-Mex restaurant in São Caetano’s mall. It has a cool and informal atmosphere and is frequented by many teenagers and youths, principally after work or school (happy hour: 6pm-8pm). The main points of the restaurant are the drinks and the appetizers. If you go there, you might drink a delicious Margarita and eat tacos with guacamole🥑, which are incredibly crunchy. For dessert, you definitely should order churros or the Oreo pie. Both of them are delicious and unforgettably good to try with friends or family.

Appetizer: Nachos Supreme (cheese, guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo)

Main course: Combo La Frontera (4 mini burgers, chips, onion crisps and barbecue sauce)

Dessert: Churros (with cream or chocolate sauce)

Estação Parrilla is the restaurant where you will find the best barbecue in town. As it is a small town, it is also one of the only places in São Caetano that serves this kind of dish. It is a very familiar place and more formal than Outback or Si Señor, so you should dress well as the atmosphere is sophisticated. Furthermore, it is usually empty during the week but very limited during the weekends, so I suggest to make a reservation if you are planning to go on a Saturday or Sunday.

Appetizer: Bruschetta Caprese (bread, tomato, pesto) or Bruschetta Creme Brie (bread, Brie, Parma)

Main course: Caesar salad + Ancho + Spaghetti al Carbonara

Dessert: Petit Gateau (hot chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream)

Outback is a worldwide famous steakhouse. The restaurant is Australian-themed and  it is usually very comfy as there are sofas where you can order your food. Although it was created long time ago, in São Caetano do Sul it is still a new restaurant, so people go crazy trying to have dinner there. I strongly suggest to make a reservation before you go.

Appetizers: Always order the Blooming Onions. There is no place that can make such a good fried onion as them.

Main course: if you want to eat meat, I definitely recommend the Ribeye. But, if you want a burger, I suggest The Bloomin’ Burger. (Important: if you are a vegetarian, the restaurant has veg dishes such as pasta or salads).

Dessert: Chocolate Thunder from Down Under. It is an extra generous pecan brownie topped with rich vanilla ice cream, drizzled with our warm chocolate sauce, chocolate shavings and wipped cream.

In São Caetano do Sul, there are many good places to eat ice cream. As it is a small city, the places are well known and people usually go during the afternoon with their friends. However, I believe Bacio di Latte is the best of all of them. It is a Italian Gelateria that uses only high quality products and has many different flavors.

Pistacchio

Straciatella (vanilla ice cream with pieces of dark chocolate)

Nutelina (chocolate ice cream with Nutella)

Nocciola (hazelnut ice cream)

Old Man Sandwich Shop is a small burger shop in town. Although it is a new business, it is a totally success in the city. As it opened during the COVID pandemic, the place has an amazing delivery, which is very fast and organized. The burgers arrive at your house after 30 minutes you ask for them and even the fries 🍟 are still hot and tasty when you start eating. Moreover, the place is also lovely. It is well organized and the menu is full of options (even for vegetarians). If you go to São Caetano, it is one of my top suggestions of places you should visit as I believe this restaurant serves the best burgers and fries in the world.

Appetizers: Cheese fries + Mac n’ cheese balls + OFC (special house chicken)

Burgers: The Old Man (it has a fried brie inside it, which is amazing and exclusive)

Dessert: Choco’n’Cookies (chocolate pie with pieces of cookies and white chocolate)
