"The forthcoming Upper West Side outpost of Charles Pan-Fried Chicken is an incredibly exciting development. Charles Gabriel, a beloved culinary figure, has signed a lease on the corner of 145th Street and Edgecombe Avenue in Harlem and is also considering a location in Brooklyn near Barclays Center. The new venture plans to create a citywide chain focused on delivery and pickup, with the involvement of investor Lili Lynton and design by Nina Kinoti-Metz. Gabriel's signature cooking style involves pan-frying chicken in 25-pound skillets for better texture and taste."
