Brunch started out in such a simple and utilitarian fashion: On the weekends, why stress about waking up super-early to eat breakfast? Why not sleep in and combine two of the three daily meals into one leisurely meal?
The meal, which some say came into being in late-19th-century England, was popularized in the United States in the 1930s. According to
Smithsonian Magazine, Hollywood celebrities, training their way across the nation for work, stopped off in Chicago for a late-morning meal. With most restaurants closed on Sundays, hotel dining rooms embraced the opportunity and turned the Sunday one-off into a weekly ritual, offering lavish meals paired with cocktails like the bloody mary and the mimosa.
One of the most ambitious such happenings is on tap for March: The restaurant reservation system Resy and American Express Gold Card will host a drive-thru restaurant dinner consisting of a ten-course tasting menu prepared by some of Miami s best chefs that you can enjoy without having to leave the safety of your own car.
The Resy Drive-Thru, a two-night culinary event, will take over the parking area at 1 Herald Plaza on Thursday, March 18, and Friday, March 19.
Participating chefs and restaurants include Michelle Bernstein (Cafe La Trova), Michael Schwartz (Harry s Pizzeria), Timon Balloo (Balloo), and José Mendín (Pubbelly Sushi) .Restaurants include L Atelier de Joël Robuchon, Mr. Mandolin, Niu Kitchen, Osaka Nikkei Miami, Planta, and South Beach new arrival Carbone Miami.
