Chef Marcus Samuelsson makes his debut at Red Rooster Overtown
Red Rooster Overtown opened last Thursday and is now finally open. This is the third location for the concept, which serves comfort foods with “American roots,” shaped by the flavors and personality of the neighborhood it’s in – and with a contemporary twist. It also marks Samuelsson’s first South Florida outpost, a collaboration with developers Michael Simkins and Derek Fleming, whose operations are led by the Grove Bay Hospitality Group. St John’s menu highlights include classics like Hot Honey Yardbird (Samuelsson’s famous roast chicken) and Obama’s short ribs (a dish served to the former president at Harlem’s original Red Rooster). Not only is Red Rooster a full service restaurant, it’s also a place where local musicians can showcase their talents. Samuelsson is no stranger to the merging of these worlds as his other locations have become music hotspots and trendy restaurants. 920 NW Second Ave., St John; 305-640-9880; redroosterovertown.com. Sunday to Thursday from 5pm to 10pm, Friday and Saturday from 5pm to 11pm
