Michael Schwartz + Krispy Krunchy Chicken Collab

Two Miami favorites — Michael's Genuine Food & Drink and Krispy Krunchy Chicken — are getting together for a collaborative chicken sandwich, for one day only. On Saturday, August 1, two versions of the MGFD x KKC fried chicken sandwich will be available: one for pickup and a meal-size version for dine-in at Michael's Genuine Food & Drink in Miami's Design District. The sandwich consists of a Krispy Krunchy Chicken breast topped with Michael's Genuine kimchi, melted American cheese, and kimchi ranch dressing on a Martin's potato roll. The takeout version is paired with a small side of fries and priced at $10. The dine-in version is the same sandwich paired with either greens or a full-size order of fries, for $15. The to-go version must be preordered via ToastTab and will be available for pickup on Saturday from noon to 3 p.m. Upon placing an order, customers will be able to choose a pickup time, which will reduce wait times and enable social distancing. Saturday, August 1, from noon to 3 p.m. for pickup; dine-in while supplies last, at 130 NE 40th St., Miami. Order in advance via toasttab.com.

Beer To-Go at Concrete Beach Brewery

The Wynwood-based brewery has launched beer pickup every Thursday through Sunday.

Beers available to-go this week include the Havana Lager, Sola IPA, Coastal Clara, and Rosé Ale ($11 and up). Pickup available Thursday through Sunday from 2 to 7 p.m. at Concrete Beach Brewery, 325 NW 24th St., Miami; concretebeachbrewery.com.
