The TVC Agora program aired its first “Sextouuu” segment on TVC HD Canal 13.1, highlighting culinary spots in Três Lagoas, presented by Letícia Ribeiro, known from Rádio Cultura FM. The segment aims to show places where families and friends can enjoy happy hour.
The itinerary began at Itoman, a family‑run business that started operations in 1976 and is considered part of the city’s history. In its Lagoa Maior unit, Letícia highlighted the house’s pastel varieties, mentioning flavors such as bacalhau, camarão and carne com queijo, as well as the traditional caldo de cana.
The Itoman menu also includes a detox juice and an omelet. Ribeiro joked that walkers around Lagoa Maior may intend to buy only a juice but end up ordering a freshly fried pastel.
After Itoman, the crew moved to O Espeto, a spot promoted for cold beer, shareable plates and grilled skewers. There, Letícia interviewed the owner, Flávio, who explained that the concept originated from a long‑standing dream of having his own establishment.
Sabores locais
Flávio recounted that the project began with a container placed beside BR‑262, heading toward Campo Grande, operating as a car‑wash by day and a grill by night. After leaving his consulting job, he invested fully in the venture, which now runs in a permanent structure that still incorporates the former car‑wash space and plans to add a tennis court.
The current layout blends the grill with the old car‑wash area and envisions a multi‑business hub, although the full plan has not yet been completed. Flávio emphasized the variety of skewers as a key differentiator, noting that the jacaré (crocodile) skewer is a rarity in the city.
Espetinho diferenciado
“Hoje eu sou o único que tem jacaré”, the proprietor said, highlighting the exclusivity of the offering. He also pointed out the family‑friendly atmosphere and the diverse menu as main attractions, while cold beer remains a staple for patrons.
The “Sextouuu” segment closes with the promise of continuing to tour Três Lagoas, showcasing venues that shape the local routine of leisure, food and social gatherings. The program’s debut signals a new platform for promoting the city’s gastronomic identity and encouraging residents to explore familiar and emerging flavors.
