Red Rooster, Chef Marcus Samuelsson's ode to comfort food in Central Harlem, is cooking up a tasty memorial to Dr. King, with a menu inspired by The Meal That Never Was. To prepare for a special meal, King conducted "a lot of research" on Dr. King and the more he read, the more he was inspired. "From what I read, Dr. King loved food and ate a lot on the road to restore his energy," King said. During his research, King discovered details of the Dinner That Never Was that was prepared Dr. King in 1968. "I know [Dr. King] would appreciate it and the flavors would be familiar to him," King said.
