Harlem culinary celebrities, who regularly serve up large portions of love for Harlem, are excited to participate in the International Taste of Harlem (ITOH) and celebrate the world-famous neighborhood’s global array of restaurants, eateries, and bakeries. “As a Jewish kid who grew up on W. 117th Street, I’m proud of my family being Harlemites. In addition to running the family-owned restaurant, Woods manages the establishment’s catering hall and the Sylvia Food Products line. The Harlem restaurant was founded in 1962 by his mother, South Carolina-born Sylvia Woods, who earned the “Queen of Soul Food” moniker. Red Rooster Harlem was a dream come true, said Ethiopian-born Samuelsson, who co-founded the popular establishment that’s a proud ITOH restaurant.
