Stealing headlines for the last week has been a story about two British expats that had a little too much fun at Friday brunch and ended up getting caught during a late night romp on the shores of the Jumeirah beach. The story has gotten pretty ugly and they could be facing up to 6 years in jail if convicted.
Let me add that Friday brunch is nothing like Sunday brunch in New York. Although people often plan ahead, organize friends, call and make reservations, this is no eggs benedict and pancake with whipped cream affair - Friday brunch involves a hefty down payment of usually around $40 to $100 of all you can eat and drink deliciousness. The higher end of the bargain can land you in a 5 start hotel with pink champagne, bottomless pitchers of mojitos, sangria, and more, with everything you would ever want to wrap your tastebuds around from Belgian waffles, whose roomy squares can accommodate the meatiest pieces of lobster and filet mignon, and unlimited fat belly tuna sushi picked fresh from the hotels private aquarium... Let's just say it's tasty but very dangerous if you don't plan your drinks right.
We had our own little brunch at Double Decker on Friday, which may not have been as fancy, but the rowdy UK expats made up for the lack of quality entertainment, as you'll soon be able to understand after clicking on the photo below for the full "michelle palmer" saga:
