New Sarasota steakhouse replacing longtime Outback location

Sarasota steak enthusiasts hungry for a new option are in luck, with one steakhouse preparing to take over the former home of another . The all-you-can-eat Estampa Gaucha Brazilian Steakhouse plans to open in the Sarasota area in spring 2027 at 7207 S. Tamiami Trail, taking over the former Outback Steakhouse space that operated there for decades before closing in 2024. The Sarasota restaurant follows Estampa Gaucha’s expansion to Florida's Treasure Coast. The casual steakhouse describes itself as offering a "modern interpretation, yet an authentic experience, of Southern Brazil’s centuries-old gaucho heritage.” Gauchos, often described as mestizo cowboys, were known as skilled horsemen and cattle ranchers who developed the art of open-fire meat cooking. Prominent in the legend, folklore and literature of South America, gauchos became an integral part of the regional culture of Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay beginning in the 18th century. "Our professional Gaucho Chefs will serve you tableside by carving fire roasted Brazilian Prime Meat selections directly from their skewers and onto your plate, maximizing the tenderness and providing our guests with their desired portion," the restaurant's website reads. "This style of preparing meats dates back for generations in Brazil and is kept alive here at Estampa

Beans and Rice: A Florida Teen's Coffee With a Purpose

At 12 years old, Nathanael Peter Victor-Smith had an idea that many adults might have dismissed as too simple. Sell coffee beans. Use the proceeds to buy rice and other food for children in need. There was no investor, no warehouse, and no business degree behind it. There was only a young Floridian who believed a morning ritual could become a meal for someone else. Six years later, that idea has grown into Beans & Rice, a Florida coffee company with a mission far larger than its size.
