Southern and soul food featured at Sunday brunch

Miami queen of Soul Food and celebrity chef Amaris Jones has launched a new Sunday brunch series at Spasso in Coconut Grove. The brunch features an array of Chef Jones’ famous southern, soul and Afro-Caribbean cuisine every Sunday from 11 am to 4 pm.

The soulful brunch spread includes her famous free-range fried chicken, fried catfish, creamy grits, jerk chicken, fresh pasta station, omelets, creole shrimp, spiced skirt steak, vegan options as well as an array of a la carte dishes. To complement brunch, guests can enjoy bottomless bellinis for $15 more as they enjoy live jazz and R&B music from local artists. Special guest chef dishes will also make an appearance on the menu, beginning with Chef Irie. 

The buffet is available for $35 per person and a la carte options start at $12 per person. 

Chef Amaris who launched South Street restaurant in 2012 and helped rap music artist Rick Ross lose over 80 pounds, has spent her lifetime honing the perfect iteration of the modern Soul Food concept based on family recipes. Her creative take on the traditional fried chicken, mac and cheese, and sweet potato pie helped build her private catering business with celebrities, athletes and VIPs. She has received praise from the likes of Martha Stewart, Lenny Kravitz and Lebron James.
