Chef Marcus Samuelsson has officially departed from Red Rooster, the Harlem restaurant he helped establish in 2010. The restaurant will continue operations under new management.

Samuelsson announced plans to open a new venture in Harlem, though details remain limited. The chef has indicated the new project will build on his long-standing connection to the neighborhood.

Red Rooster has been a notable presence in Harlem’s dining scene for more than a decade. Samuelsson’s departure marks a shift but the restaurant is expected to maintain its current direction.

The new restaurant is anticipated to open within the next year. Samuelsson has not revealed a specific timeline or menu concept. Community members and industry watchers will be watching closely as the plans develop.
