Sexy Sunday Brunch At Chicken Bros.
Spring is here and it’s time to party. Playboy Argentina described how this brunch managed “to recreate the spirit of a New York brunch posta, posta.” Sunday Brunch in the US is a culture that has been built on three principles: booze (drink), beats (rhythm), & eats (food). The Booze: free bar of mimosas and Bloody Marys; The Beats: Trilliam (ATL, USA) will be spinning fresh Hip Hop, R&B and mimosa sippin’ music to start the party or keep the night before’s going; The Eats: Cinnabar will be out doing his own Pop-Up, with the cinnamon buns that are exploding in BA. The brunch menu consists in The Big Breakfast (sausage, bacon, eggs, pancakes, roasted tomatoes and maple syrup), Pancake Party Pancakes (chocolate chips, chocolate sauce, blueberries and ice cream or with maple syrup), Eddy Avo Toast (homemade bread with poached eggs, tomatoes, avocado, with a salmon option), Chicken n Waffles (benedictine eggs with cured house salmon), English Muffin sandwiches and unlimited mimosas and bloody marys.
