"MIDTOWN, Manhattan -- The one and only Melba Wilson is now bringing the comfort food she made iconic in Harlem to Grand Central Terminal. "I'm super excited because we are here in Grand Central Terminal and we're at Melba's. Oh, you down with GCT? Yeah. You know me," she said. "Grant Central Terminal is iconic and it was so important for me to bring a little bit of that Harlem flavor, that Harlem soul, that Harlem comfort to the iconic Grand Central Terminal.""
"When the first Melba's opened in Harlem in 2005, Wilson didn't realize that she would open more than just the one restaurant. "Now there's this one in Harlem, now there's a Prudential Center, Melba's Central Park, and Melba's GCT," Wilson said. So, what makes her chicken so good? "Well, first of all, it's the bird. Okay? What do I mean by that? It is free range chicken.""
Melba Wilson opened her first Melba's in Harlem in 2005 and expanded to locations including Prudential Center, Central Park and Grand Central Terminal. She emphasizes free-range, organic chicken and a brine-and-seasoning process that produces flavorful fried chicken. Her flour is seasoned before frying, and she cooks by experience rather than a timer. Melba reports having served over 11 million people in Harlem. A waffle variation originated when her son requested breakfast and she improvised using cola in place of milk, which led to a signature waffle pairing. The Grand Central location aims to bring Harlem comfort, soul, and flavor to commuters.
