Chef Marcus Samuelsson Debuts Red Rooster Overtown

Opened this past Thursday, Red Rooster Overtown is finally open, marking he third location for the concept, which serves “American roots” comfort food, infused with the flavors and personality of the neighborhood in which it resides — and with a contemporary twist. It also marks Samuelsson’s first South Florida outpost, a collaboration with developers Michael Simkins and Derek Fleming, with operations helmed by Grove Bay Hospitality Group. Menu highlights in Miami feature classics like hot honey yardbird (Samuelsson’s famed fried chicken) and Obama’s short ribs (a dish served to the former president at the original Red Rooster in Harlem). In addition to being a full-service restaurant, Red Rooster will act as a venue for local musicians to showcase their talents. Samuelsson is no stranger to the merging of these worlds, as his other locations have become music hotspots as well as trendy eateries. 920 NW Second Ave., Miami; 305-640-9880; redroosterovertown.com. Sunday through Thursday 5 to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday 5 to 11 p.m.
