Charles' Southern Style Kitchen, a.k.a. Charles' Pan Fried Chicken, is a soul food and Southern Food restaurant located at 308 Lenox Avenue (between 125th & 126th Streets), in Harlem in Manhattan, in New York City.[1] It was featured on Al Roker's episode of My Life in Food.[2]
Background
Charles Gabriel was raised in the Southern United States along with his 20 siblings.[3] He learned to cook from his mother, and moved to New York cooking out of a food cart. He currently cooks the food at his own restaurant, and is a consulting chef at Rack & Soul.
When preparing his chicken, Charles fries it in a pan, repeatedly turning the chicken, as well as seasoning it at three separate stages. The venue has two addresses,[4] one of which serves as the kitchen and one of which serves as the dining area.[5] Magazine recipe writers have interviewed him and attempted to reproduce his techniques and recipes.[6]
In 2013, Zagats gave it a food rating of 24, and a decor rating of 4.[7]
