NBC’s “Saved by the Bell”-Inspired Diner Prepares For Chicago Farewell
and West Coast Move
CHICAGO -- May 31, 2017 -- Saved by the MaxTM, the pop up diner and viral phenomenon inspired by the iconic Saved by the BellTM campus hangout The Max, is so excited, so excited, so excited to announce that it will be journeying cross country from the Windy City to the City of Angels for the ultimate homecoming celebration. TV show fans and foodies alike can expect The Max to pop up in Los Angeles before year’s end as the official first stop of its road trip across the country.
“The journey of Saved by The Max never fails to amaze us,” says Derek Berry one of the partners behind the diner. “To see it evolve from fan idea turned overnight social media craze, to an entire sold out year of operations in Chicago, and now coming full circle with a move to the show’s hometown of LA is nothing short of a dream come true for us all. It’s a real testament to the enduring popularity and legacy of the show.”
Chicago fans don’t miss your last chance to visit Saved by The Max before its final semester draws to a close. To celebrate its final days, Saved by the Max will be hosting the ultimate lineup of Graduation Weekend special events. Play hooky with Senior Cut Day on Friday May 26th and take advantage of a variety of afternoon games, food, and drink specials worthy of ditching class for. Saved by The Max also will be bringing back its popular brunch service with a very special Final Exam ticketed brunch for two days only, May 27th and 28th.
Saved by The Max will be offering guests a limited time summer cocktail menu inspired by the show’s infamous beach club, The Malibu Sands. Sip on new favorites like the Time Outsicle ($12: Vanilla Ice Cream, Red Bull Orange, Cointreau, Orange juice and four spice syrup), Kelly’s Colada ($9: Pineapple Infused Rum, Horchata, Pineapple, Lime and Vanilla Syrup), the Sables De Malibu ($9: Lot 40 and Martell Cognac stirred Benedictine, Peychauds and Angostura Bitters) or the Gary Broken Leg Club ($9: Kingston Clubs with Drambuie, Fernet, Pineapple, Lime and Angostura Bitters,) and soak up your final minutes at The Max while toasting to summer vacation and warmer days ahead.
