It was a surprise. Kati dragged me uptown to meet up with Jade and Alex. Under a ruse to get me out the house on a wintry Friday night, we emerged from the 2 train at 125th and Lenox. And right there was Red Rooster, Marcus Samuelsson’s landmark restaurant. It only took a minute to piece it all … Read More
