Cock-a-doodle-Do! The Best Rooster in the House

After four long weeks of waiting and salivating over the menu, it was finally time for my reservation at Red Rooster up in Harlem. I first heard about this amazing new restaurant after reading that President Obama had a fundraiser dinner there back in March. Immedietly, I researched the menu and was instantly hooked. Chef Marcus Samuelsson is a master of Southern  cuisine. Crab, shrimp and chorizo grits? Mac and Greens with Gouda and Cheddar? Fried Chicken with Gravy? Whisky Fudge? YES PLEASE!

Walking into the Red Rooster, you instantly feel like your home. The environment is warm and welcoming, with plenty of room at the bar and to mingle while you wait for your table. Cocktails do not disappoint either, with drinks like "the Spicy Lady" and "the Cats Meow", you immediately feel like you are drinking down south. The crowd is a cool mix of people, from Harlem locals and hipsters to Upper East Siders,  it was unpretentious and everyone was just looking forward to a good southern meal.
