Located at 1 Herald Plaza near the Venetian Causeway, the drive-thru event will treat guests to a 10-course tasting menu from the comfort of their car and feature a stellar lineup of Miami’s favorite chefs (Michelle Bernstein, Michael Schwartz, Timon Balloo, José Mendín) and restaurants (Mr. Mandolin, CARBONE Miami, PLANTA).
The Resy Drive-Thru debuted in Los Angeles in October 2020 to instant success – 4,000 Notifies set and 600 tickets sold out in under 15 minutes. Fast Company called it “The Future Of Dining” and it was praised for its creativity combined with COVID-19 safety protocols.
To bring the buzzy event to Miami in March, Resy is again teaming up with The American Express Gold Card. American Express Gold Card Members can add their Card to their Resy wallet and unlock an exclusive “4X Experience” comprised of Access (48-hour pre-sale tickets and primetime slots), Service (a custom car lane with dedicated waiters), Experiences (entry to an immersive dessert tunnel), Swag (gift bag, limited-edition apron), and more surprises. To learn more and apply for the American Express Gold Card, customers can visit americanexpress.com/goldcard.
Attendees will find the exterior transformed into a colorful, vibrant, labyrinth inspired by Miami’s diverse cuisine, Latin culture, pop art aesthetic and Wynwood walls. Larger-than-life food sculptures and iconography will be a feast for the eyes, but the main attraction is the incredible lineup of Miami’s most sought after restaurants and chefs – a mix of institutions, mainstays and newcomers: Balloo (Chef Timon Balloo), Cafe La Trova (Chef Michelle Bernstein), CARBONE Miami, Harry’s Miami Beach (Chef Michael Schwartz), L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon, Mr. Mandolin, Niu Kitchen, Osaka Nikkei Miami, PLANTA (Chef David Lee) and Pubbelly Sushi (Chef José Mendín).
Although chefs will not approach cars due to COVID-19 safety precautions, each will be visible preparing their dish in a socially distanced tent, and each course - delivered through car windows - comes with its own special lap tray and is accompanied by an audio explanation and music tracks to match. By the time cars exit, passengers have enjoyed a bespoke tasting menu of Miami’s best bites.
“I have been a part of a lot of culinary events over the years, but this is the first multi-restaurant drive-thru, and we can’t wait to see it in action,” says Michael Schwartz, Owner of Michael’s Genuine and Harry’s Miami Beach. “In addition to being drawn to the creativity of the event, we’re looking forward to collaborating with our peers after a year of limited events, and treating guests to a memorable night. With this lineup, I know the food is going to be phenomenal, and I’m sure the cars will be part of the show, too!”
