Dim sum was a favorite weekend treat where I grew up in New York. On Sundays, we would head over to Chinatown and feast on tiny steamed dumplings, egg rolls, meat-filled buns, fried shrimp, and the occasional chicken foot.
Little steamers on carts would be wheeled around the dining room, allowing you to take whatever you wanted -- most of the time you had no idea what was inside that red bun or that green dumpling until you took a bite. It didn't matter, however, because it was all good.

Bloom in Wynwood has introduced Dim Sum-Days. Served every Sunday from noon to 8 p.m., it's part brunch, part dim sum. Dishes are less traditional, with flavor influences from Korea, Japan, and China. The vibe is laid back -- in fact we were there about two hours.
