Miami's Best Eats and Drinks This Weekend: Art of Food, Martinis, and English Sunday Brunch

Happy Friday! Lots to do this weekend, from a cooking demo to a proper English brunch with all the trimmings. You can watch bartenders shake things up, celebrate the Art of Food & Music — or even get a shot at stardom.

Weekend starts now!
Grown Organic Cooking Demo at Macy's Dadeland
Grown opened just a few short months ago but already the fast casual restaurant by Ray and Shannon Allen has captured the attention of Miami with its organic cuisine. If you want tips on how to create healthy meals at home, join Grown's executive chef Todd Kiley for a culinary demonstration at Macy's home department at Macy's Dadeland Home Store on June 11 from 3 to 5 p.m.  The event is free, but you must register at eventbrite.com. Purchase $40 of home merchandise and you'll take home a special "grown" inspired gift.
The Art of Food & Music at Brick House
On Saturday, June 11, Brick House is hosting its monthly Art of Food & Music event. From 1 to 9 p.m., enjoy live music and painting while chowing down on Nashville hot wings, fish nuggets, and lobster mac 'n' cheese. Admission is free and pay as you go for food and drink.
