Miami Beach, FL – February 24, 2016 – On the capacity filled 1 Rooftop of 1 Hotel & Homes South Beach, invited guests celebrated the much anticipated Grand Opening of the world’s first sustainable sushi pop-up, PREY. Kicking off Miami’s most food-focused week with a bang, 1 Hotel & Homes South Beach has set out to revolutionize the South Beach Wine & Food Festival and restaurant playing field like never before. Led by James Beard Foundation Award Nominated Chef Bun Lai, PREY pays homage to the predator and prey interconnections of the food chain. Continually striving for an eco-conscious environment, 1 Hotel & Homes South Beach’s limited-time, 1 Rooftop-restaurant brings a whole new kind of animal to the hospitality table. Making non-native species a delicacy, items on the menu were not only prepared by, but personally hunted, dived and foraged for by Chef Bun Lai. To add to the evening, a fortune teller and dancing geisha’s enchanted guests, all while enjoying the musical stylings of DJ Goldroom and the breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and expansive Miami skyline. Complementing the existing vibe of The 1 Rooftop, the 1 Hotel design team brought PREY’s culinary approach to life through large scale murals, custom furniture and table tops, and nature inspired art pieces. PREY is open to the public and available for reservations through April 30.
