Miss Maude's Spoonbread Too Restaurant




		Miss Maude's Spoonbread Too 547 Lenox Avenue, NYC You'll love the Southern, down-home cooking at this cheerful, inexpensive Harlem restaurant. Owner, caterer and cookbook author, Norma Jean Darden, named the restaurant after her Aunt Maude. The Lady A music and Sunday School teacher, Maude was "a stylish dresser and jazzy dancer with many beaux and no intention of settling down." Until she met Uncle John, a doctor, in Opelika, Alabama. Together with her husband, Dr. John Wesley Darden, Miss Maude owned a drugstore which was particularly known for its great desserts, ice cream, cookies and confections. "But in our family," Norma says, "all knew that no one beat the delicious meals served at Aunt Maude's house."		The Menu (click to view) Meals begin with a basket of hot, corn bread and are served southern style with your choice of sides, like homemade candied yams, collard greens, or macaroni and cheese. The New York Post says "on its own or smothered in gravy, Spoonbread has the Best Fried Chicken in NYC!" Or you might want to try Uncle CL's Short Ribs of Beef (falling off the bone). And make sure to leave room for pie a' la mode or an Uncle John inspired chocolate, or butterscotch ice cream sundae. Join us Thursdays at 9:00 forPoetry Night! The Press New York Magazine.
