Luckily the experience had plenty for foot passengers to enjoy too. The set-up was as much art insta
Driving in London is rarely enjoyable, in traffic depressing, and depending on how many buses are trying to crush you, it can be downright harrowing. For just a few days during London Fashion Week, however, dinner cruises in new york 'Architectural Foodsmiths' Bompas Parr have teamed up with Mercedes to provide central London with an epicurean pit-stop offering 'emotionally compelling' fast food with meals guaranteed within 180 seconds of giving your order at the Mercedes motif speaker.
On Thursday, I attended the launch party of the new drive-through dining experience though I did so on foot. This turned out to be the sensible choice given the amount of booze the roller girls were wheeling around. You hope anyone driving wouldn't opt for any of these potent concoctions (200ish seconds before returning to Europe's busiest shopping street) which included frankfurter martinis and absinthe and ether cocktails. But then that's dinner cruises in new york what chauffeurs are for, right?
Combining fashion, driving and dining, the canapés dinner cruises in new york were served by bewheeled ladies in futuristic skin-tight silver suits designed by the very nice Tour de Force , on glowing, and sometimes impressively high heeled, skates.
We sampled eel nuggets, southern fried quail, dinner cruises in new york smoked cheese fondue and miniature versions of what would be the main dish of drive thru – 'The Big Merc' – an awe inspiring combination dinner cruises in new york of duck sausage patty with damson ketchup, sandwiched between two doughnut baps.
Apparently there was a great debate over what the perfect siding should be but, after speaking to a Hell's Angel, grapes were chosen as their sweetness and acidity would cut perfectly though the fatty goodness dinner cruises in new york of the accompanying burger.
Luckily the experience dinner cruises in new york had plenty for foot passengers to enjoy too. The set-up was as much art installation as drive through with lighting designed by Jason Bruges Studio and the 40m long marble entrance of Selfridges Old Hotel decked out in diner style with impressive photos from another recent Bompas Parr collaboration with photographer Rebecca Andrews: The Four Horsemen of the Oesophagus . The project, dealing with hedonic eating, featured bodybuilders posing with 'the Four Horsemen' which turned out to be Burger, Hot Dog, Fried Chicken dinner cruises in new york and Soda). And if that wasn't enough there was even a rotating dining platform with stools and tables modelled on salami (the meat that looks most like marble).
As with many things in life and indeed life itself, the pop-up drive thru was not around for long but we eagerly await its return… preferably in the near future when robots drive our cars and we can order a few cocktails to go as well.
