Schramm says eating Brazilian barbecued meat with white rice and a kind of vinaigrette sauce on the side called campanha is popular.
"We also have garlic bread, chicken wings and chicken legs for churrasco (barbecues), but everywhere you go in Brazil they eat chicken hearts. They're very popular."
Top-quality beef is not that expensive in Brazil, and a meal in a top barbecue restaurant would cost about 300 yuan per person, Schramm says.
"As a desert, we put whole bananas with the skin on the grill, a very traditional way of having barbecue dessert."
Schramm cooked for a similar food festival in Beijing last year just before the soccer World Cup held in Brazil. This year the festival is bigger, and a much more diversified Brazilian dining experience will be on offer, he says.
"We have set menus for lunch and dinner, but also a cocktail party, a barbecue party and a samba party. Brazilians are party people. So more information and more options."
