# Nostalgic 90s Pop-Up Diners The 'Saved by the Max' Pop-Up Offers Fans a Taste of Bayside Cuisine By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2018-05-09 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saved-by-the-max References: [foodbeast](https://www.foodbeast.com/news/saved-by-the-max-la/) & [exploretock](https://www.exploretock.com/savedbythemax/) Anyone who grew up in the 90s likely watched an episode or two of Saved By The Bell, so the 'Saved by the Max' pop-up diner is likely to come as a nostalgic blast from the past for Millennials. The pop-up will set up shop in West Hollywood in Los Angeles after a successful stint in Chicago and will be offering brunches and dinners until the end of 2018. Modeled after The Max from the aforementioned teen TV series, the diner will offer such dishes as 'AC Sliders,' 'The Bayside Burger,' 'Mr. Belding's Fries' and many others with a Bayside High theme. The 'Saved by the Max' pop-up diner menu has been put together by executive Michelin-starred chef Brian Fisher.
