Eating House, Chopped champion Giorgio Rapicavoli’s popular Coral Gables restaurant, has given its Sunday brunch a face-lift. Beginning Saturday, April 15, the eatery’s Wakin-N-Bacon menu will extend to Saturday and Sunday, as well as debut a selection of new plates.
“We’re always trying to change things up and expand the Eating House concept,” Rapicavoli says. “Brunch has been a big draw for us since day one. It only seemed logical to give our guests more opportunity to dig in.”
The munchies-themed menu begins with sweet and savory snacks and starters ($7 to $10), including tater tots with Coca-Cola ketchup; candied applewood-smoked bacon with brown sugar and sea salt; and pumpkin-spice granola packed with oats, nuts, seeds, fresh and dried fruits, and maple yogurt.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,800 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
A few of Eating House’s best-selling main dishes ($14 to $16), which can be eaten alone or shared, are carbonara eggs Benedict, which crowns a toasty English muffin with applewood-smoked bacon, black truffle, carbonara sauce, and poached eggs; braised pork calentado, inspired by a traditional Colombian breakfast that tops leftovers with a runny egg; and Cap’n Crunch pancakes, which come covered in vanilla butter, condensed-milk syrup, and candied cereal.
“We opened it up first to loyal guests and followers, and so far we’ve had a great turnout,” he says. “We’re looking forward to continuing to expand brunch as we move forward.”
Wash down your meal with a guava mimosa, blended with prosecco and pink guava juice, or a yuzu cocktail with Florida grapefruit juice and vermouth.
The Wakin-N-Bacon weekend brunch runs Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, call 305-448-6524 or visit eatinghousemiami.com
