He sold it last year and opened a branch in NJ which hasn’t had the same rave reviews as the Harlem restaurant, This is what we posted last year:

The owner sold it last year along with the name.

Now they’re… who are the people who are supposed to be after Amy Ruth’s? Is it the health department or is this another headline from uptown flavor pointing the finger to gentrifiers again? Which of course always has racist overtones. How about a headline like “Amy Ruth’s needs to clean up their act?” – much more accurate – don’t you think Uptown?

And, I’m not a Harlem native. I travel from lower Manhattan to get there. I wish their restaurant all the best and hope they can resolve these issues. Sounds like some city inspector wants a payoff.

Where’s my wings and mac & cheese!
